happi duck Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Finally found an easy way to watch last last year. It is so much fun! Cha Cha Cha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 My favorite football club is in that city. My maternal cousins are supporters of Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United since young, and two of those are in Liverpool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbard Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We look forward to watching it as a family every year - a great way to listen to a wide variety of music, learn about different countries, and laugh our heads off at the extravaganza. I really had no idea who was going to win this year!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We watched as a family every year, but this year my daughters are both at university. They logged in from their dorms and we from home and we kept a running commentary going on our family WhatsApp group. It was huge fun to connect that way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Nothing will ever beat the wolf-banana song 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 And so begins our favorite gameshow: guess which Eurovision song is stuck in my head! Like last year (first year watching) I woke up with a song stuck already! (Though now give that wolf a banana kicked it out!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbard Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Yeah, there was nothing really wacky this year. We liked the Edgar Allan Poe song and of course thought the Australians were the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Update: Blood and Glitter (Germany) is currently stuck in my head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 I really liked how the intros to each performance showed a place in Ukraine, a similar place in UK and then the performer in a similar spot in their home country. One of my favorite parts was the intro to the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 How do you watch it? Is there a specific website? I'd love to watch, but didn't know there was a way to access it. Celine Dion won it one year, and it was a big influence in catapolting her singing career. The song was actually very good. I think it was in the mid 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbard Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I have heard it's on youtube? In Australia it's on one of the major TV channels (SBS) and it's a big deal especially for families from European backgrounds. I don't think I'd really heard of it before I met my other half whose parents emigrated from Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 @wintermom We watched on Peacock which is part of our cable system. But I think it's also a separate streaming service too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PronghornD Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 My young adult Eurovision fan says this year was totally rigged! They are so mad! Don't ask me for the details, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Our household didn't love the winning song (Sweden). It was predicted Sweden would win and the jury vote for Sweden was huge! Listening to the Eurovision playlist I've come to like the winning song more. I'll be obsessed with the playlist for awhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll look for something on yourtube. Surely there'd be some highlights there? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
