I clearly have a trigger finger. Sorry about the multiple posts.
I like Hungary despite Mary Poppins on the violin.

It's quite catchy in an annoying sort of way.

Have you noticed that even with the time limit some songs just seem sooooo much longer?

Teen DD loves the Hungarians. I think might be my favourite, too.

The Moldova song a second time really becomes annoying.

Oh the passion!

This guy looks an awful lot like my brother's Italian friend.

CormorantDevouringTime · 13/05/2017 20:46

Bloody hell I've checked out the Hungarian lyrics in the app. Seems to be some kind of "playing guitar is like being a religiously motivated suicide bomber" metaphor.

RebootYourEngine · 13/05/2017 20:46

I always wanted a dress that swung like hers.

Lweji · 13/05/2017 20:46

I think there should be a stipulation each country sings in their own language.

But then there are complaints that English speakers have an advantage. Well, at least the Irish used to have. :)

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/05/2017 20:46

or the Wiggles!

RedToothBrush · 13/05/2017 20:46

GORILLA TIME.

This is ok...

The dance is fun. Nice staging.
