Eurovision Finals Rotterdam 2021 - The Watch and Score thread.

This is the scoring thread for the event on Saturday, for General Eurovision Chat, use **THIS THREAD** and leave this one for the live event at 8pm please, even if you're thinking "it means nothing to me".

Eurovision 2021 is upon us and the controversial Grand Final is this very weekend 22nd May 2021 at 8pm on BBC One and BBC One HD. We missed out on 2020 due to that Covid thing, so we really should make the most of it and enjoy the delights of the music and performances Eurovision brings.

As we do every year (see **here** for last year's thread, we will be scoring with an overall rating out of 10. Along with the rating comes an optional Comment and Norton rating. (Paste your own witty observation on the act in question and Norton's commentary ability).

Everyone is welcome to post up their own scores and remember this is just for fun, there are no rules other than scoring the act from 0-10.

Proper Eurovision, who knew there could be so many hands on one screen?

[QualityChimp]

Portugal - Black Mamba.
Sounds like a vibrator.

[MartyG]

7 Portugal
Love Is On My Side
The Black Mamba
3/10

What kind of hell is this? I know we missed last year, but that's no excuse to write actual songs. No. No. No.

You are NOT Prince.

[QualityChimp]

Portugal - I liked the singer's voice and it was a good song, but a bit too downbeat.

He stopped miming halfway through the solo.

[MartyG]

8 Serbia
Loco Loco
Hurricane
9/10

Something soothing for the soul - I didn't understand it at all but I know it was hot.

Alternative scoring...

Cyprus 9/10 WAD
Albania 7/10
Israel 5/10 too thin
Belgium 6/10
Russia 2/10 good grief!

[QualityChimp]

Serbia 5.
Bit bland.
Prinny, being a gentleman and not wishing to make any of them feel left out, would bone all three wads simultaneously.

[MartyG]

And now it's time for the winning song ... (I haven't actually heard the UK song yet)


9 United Kingdom
Embers
James Newman
7/10

Seriously. How do you expect to win with those shoes?

(It isn't going to win, but not because it isn't a good song).

[prinnysquad]

Malta 1/10

We are going downhill!!!
