All I see is a waisted opportunity to set a piano on fire.

unfortunately I'm incredibly biased towards Norway's entry this year. MY queen

I kinda miss the random gay guy backing singer for Instead I Wrote A Song now tbh

Ưhat are your thoughts on I Feed You My Love by Margaret Berger (Norway 2013) Personally at first I found it overrated and couldn't get why people like it. But after another listen months apart, I get why people love it and it has become my ESC 2013 winner. What are yours

It was one of my instant faves when I listened to the 2013 lineup, it's just too good. That electrifying instrumental is incredibly awesome, and the song is edgy but elegant at the same time. I loved Only Teardrops, but I think Norway would have been a worthy winner as well if it won that year. Really amazing track

Ten years ago I was commenting Eurovision song contest on Facebook. I'll translate it to you so you can enjoy the madness

1. Gay Dracula fucks hard but is misunderstood

2. San Marino, you ungrateful bastard

3. We should erase Azerbaijan

4. The Greek are wonderful drunk

5. I want an Icelandic god in my bed

6. In Ukraine they have giant vikings

7. The Swiss and the French can, sometimes, be nice

8. In Hamburg a young girl is digging her own grave with her bare hands

9. In order to win we need to be annexed to the ex-URSS

10. People on Tumblr think Mengoni is a sexy beast

Gay rammstein slay
