Eurovision!: A History of Modern Europe Through the World's Greatest Song Contest | Chris West, Melville House UK

Ok, so, I adore Loreen. Definitely a worthy winner. But if only Finland could have won too! Both absolutely cracking songs 💕

CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHAAAAAA 🐛💃🤘🏻

This is my sister and I posing with Käärija's portable sauna. Dude knows how to travel in style!

Hope you all enjoyed the show too 😊

zezeki Yes, I agree, Loreen is a worthy winner, but Finland was my favourite, and I was a little heartbroken when they didn't win, especially since he won the public vote. 😅🙈 11mo

LeeRHarry Enjoyed the show- still #TeamBelgium 🇧🇪😊 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki Finland had everything! Memorable style, signature dance moves, catchy tune, Rammstein-inspired metal elements, rap, tempo change, a dance caterpillar, techno beats... 💚💚💚💕 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @LeeRHarry I loved Belgium too! It was my fave of the acts I saw at the 2nd semi 😊😇 11mo

yourfavouritemixtape Loreen is a worthy winner.. but a bit a boring one :) I was rooting for Estonia. But I think I was the only one 😄 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @yourfavouritemixtape Estonia - good voice, but I don't remember the song very well! 🤔 I keep getting random Eurovision songs in my head. It was Croatia today. 11mo

Eurovision 2nd semi final run through show! 💃💃💃💃

So glad we got to go in person. Will be watching on TV tomorrow and Saturday 💕🌈

So. Many. Sequins!!! 😍🥰😍🥰😍

zezeki How exciting, glad to see another Litten fan of Eurovision! 11mo

LeeRHarry That‘s really exciting! Will be up at 5am Sunday morning here to watch it 😊 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki @LeeRHarry Eurovision is great! Do you guys have any faves this year? Or are you waiting til the final to check out the songs? 💕 11mo

LeeRHarry @RaeLovesToRead I watched the first semi final and didn‘t really have a fave which is a bit sad. Not super excited about the Australian entry if I‘m honest 😏 11mo

zezeki I love so many songs this year, especially from the 1st semifinal! Portugal, Finland, Czechia, Switzerland, and I was also hoping Latvia would qualify. And for tonight, I'm cheering for Armenia, Slovenia and Lithuania. 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @LeeRHarry Australia were very glittery! The song was OK. Didn't blow me away, but not bad! 😊 The first semi was bonkers 😅 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki Yes! Finland are amazing. A Rammstein-style cha cha cha?! Seriously, who knew we needed that?! 😄 Also liked Czechia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Austria (poe poe poe poe poe poe poe) and Belgium. Also the UK song is stuck in my head! I've probably missed some off there... Croatia were.... interesting! 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki Slovenia got a HUGE reaction in the arena... I was wondering if they were famous or had been in it before? Oh and I loved Denmark too. Remind me which country you are from?? (Sorry for forgetting) 11mo

zezeki I'm from Croatia. ☺️ I'm so happy to hear that for Slovenia, I don't know if they're famous in their country, I haven't heard of them before. I'm not much of a fan of my country this year, but I appreciate the song's message, and I'm glad that we didn't send some bland pop ballad that we usually do. 😅 And the song is just stuck in my head, wether I like it or not. 😅 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki I was told the message of the song was anti-war, but obviously didn't understand the words! It's the sort of weird song that British people will probably give 12 points to 😅 11mo

yourfavouritemixtape Omg, I‘m going there tonight!! 11mo

yourfavouritemixtape @zezeki @RaeLovesToRead this is like two of my favourite worlds colliding! :) Yay Litsy Eurovision fans! 🙂 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @yourfavouritemixtape Have a great time!!! 😁💕 I'll be watching along at home. It's a great show! 11mo

zezeki @yourfavouritemixtape Yay, have fun!! 💃🏻💃🏻 11mo

BarbaraBB My country (NL) was sh*t and didn‘t make the finals but it is a big happening where I live too. Will be watching the finals & probably rooting for Sweden or Finland or is that too lazy?! 11mo

Branwen Looks like a lot of fun! 💕 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Netherlands? Yeah, the song wasn't great this year. The UK song sounded much better in person than on the screen! I love Loreen. She easily has the best voice in the competition, and as for the Finnish Rammstein-style Cha Cha Cha.... mind blown!!! 😅😅 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @Branwen Eurovision is amazing!!!! 🥰🥰🥰😇 11mo

BarbaraBB So who‘s your favorite? 11mo

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, Lithuania, Czechia, Austria and Belgium!!!! 😁💕 11mo

LeeRHarry Belgium for the win! 🥇🤞 11mo

ferskner @zezeki @BarbaraBB I don't listen to the songs beforehand (other than Denmark and Sweden because I follow those national finals) so I'm not qualified to say, but I adored Ukraine and Moldova last night! 2y

BarbaraBB Exciting! 2y

#FlyontheWingsofLove I got no book for today, but I just couldn‘t make a list with Danish music without adding our Eurovision 2000 winners - The Olsen Brothers 😄😄

https://youtu.be/C76xn52ZbhA

Do any of you Eurovision lovers remember this? #SeptemberDanes

julesG I didn't remember the year but clearly remembered them winning the ESC. (I'm still trying to come up with a book for today. I have no ideas. - oh, now I have one. 😉) 6y

LeeRHarry Er no ...but I remember Emmelie de Forest ! 6y

Kalalalatja @AnneCecilie @julesG I remember trying to stay awake to see them perform (I was only 8), and being soooo tired, so I fell asleep before even seeing them 😂 6y

Kalalalatja @LeeRHarry she is a but more recent, so I really don‘t blame you 😄 6y

DivineDiana New to me! 6y

ferskner I HEART THIS ONE BILLION TIMES. I went to the jury final in Copenhagen in 2014 and on the canal bus back to Amalienborg the driver played this, Cliche Love Song, and Only Teardrops and it was just so so so so fun to sing along with a bunch of tipsy but really happy people from all over Europe. (The being said, this song cracks me up, as most of Eurovision does.) 6y

Kalalalatja @ferskner this sounds AMAZING! I can only imagine how fun that must have been. And yeah, Eurovision songs are pretty laughable a lot of the time 😂😂 6y

ferskner Yes! It's really hard to explain to people that I legitimately love the whole thing while also am kind of laughing at it. 6y

This is a deserving winner of #Eurovision
I will be singing this for days. I'm not your toy, you stupid boy. Thank the public vote.
There were also stirring Viking boy bands , a joyful performance from Moldova that was peak Eurovision. American friends you should really check this out

Dogearedcopy Sadly, the uploaded has not given permission for us in the US to view this video :-( 6y

Weaponxgirl @Dogearedcopy I'm so sorry! I wouldn't have uploaded if I knew 😢 the artist is called Jetta and the song is called toy 6y

Weaponxgirl @Dogearedcopy netta * stupid auto 6y

Weaponxgirl @Michelle_mck she did a great job! I did feel sorry for our British girl getting stage invaded but I didn't think she was gonna win anyway 6y

Dogearedcopy Clearly not your fault so no need to apologize! I‘ll just have to dig around and see if there is some other footage I can find of her/the event! 6y

rockpools 💕🙃🐥. And yet again I'm lacking a Viking emoji! V glad Netta won. And the new voting system was just 🤸🏽‍♂️🤹🏻‍♂️💫 6y

Weaponxgirl @RachelO ohh I loved the new voting system, with the industry experts I was like nope. I liked them but they aren't my winners and then the glories of the public voting came through. I'm sad I have to wait a whole year again though 6y

ephemeralwaltz She really was amazing!!🙏🎆 6y

RachLovesTV That was awesome!! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to need to look this contest up! 6y

Kalalalatja I‘m glad the public liked our Danish Vikings a bit better than the jury, but I‘m even happier Netta won - what a song! 6y

julesG So happy Netta won. She was my/our favourite. All my friends hate the song and wanted to see a different winner. But I love the song, the message, the performance, the singer. 6y

julesG @Kalalalatja Your Danish Vikings were good. I'm always amazed at how far off jury votes and the public opinion sometimes is. 6y

Weaponxgirl @ephemeralwaltz she was just so much fun! 6y

Weaponxgirl @RachLovesTV that doesn't even scratch the surface of how amazingly bonkers this competition is 6y

Weaponxgirl @julesG I've seen a fair amount of people not liking it but I thought the message was great combined with a great performance. Yes, you are a beautiful creature netta. And yes, the public vs jury is so different. Think a lot of politics plays in with jury's along with them trying to pick more worthy songs. 6y

Weaponxgirl @Kalalalatja I really liked the Vikings! The snow and the stomping was so much fun. The public knows what's up 😊 6y

Cinfhen Celebrating here today with Netta‘s victory 🏆🇮🇱🎊and hoping to see #eurovision19 live next year 😀🎤❣️ @Weaponxgirl @julesG @Kalalalatja @ephemeralwaltz @RachelO 6y

Kalalalatja @Cinfhen that could be so much fun for you! 😄 congrats on the victory 👏🎉👏🎉👏 6y

Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen ohh, seeing it live would be amazing! 6y

Cinfhen You can fly over and join me @Kalalalatja @Weaponxgirl 🎵❤️im sure it‘s going to be wild 😄 6y

Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen oh that is tempting, sure the flights aren't too bad from the uk. Imagine combining Eurovision and then a love of books in the downtime! 😍 6y

Cinfhen Not to mention the awesome food!!!! @Weaponxgirl (edited) 6y

Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen the food looks great! I looked at zahav on scribd and just drooled all the way through 6y

Cinfhen His restaurant (Zahav) is oddly enough in Philadelphia, where I‘m originally from 💕and the food is delish @Weaponxgirl If you‘re in the UK this Israeli chef has a few restaurants that are meant to be amazing

Ottolenghi: The Cookbook

(edited) 6y

Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen ah yes, I've never been to his restaurants but I tried cooking his chargrilled broccoli and it was a hella lot of work for the results. I love his cookbooks and his column in the guardian but the man does make me swear quite a lot when cooking his recipes due to the faff involved. 6y

julesG @Cinfhen I must admit, I've already thought about a #LitsyEurovisionMeetUp2019 it would be so much fun. 6y

Cinfhen OMG @julesG what a fabulous idea 😍 6y

Cinfhen Yes @Weaponxgirl Ottolenghi likes to make things complicated!!! Although the results are usually divine 😇 6y

No reading tonight: I‘ve bed partying with the Eurovision crew. I love the song contest so much: it‘s a proper part of my cultural experiences, lame as that may sound. Here‘s me and Tom, my Eurovision partner in crime - I‘ve been his token Heterosexual woman for 15 years now!

GondorGirl I'm so jealous of countries that do Eurovision. I find it online every year and enjoy it immensely. 6y

LeeRHarry Love Eurovision 💜 even though I'm an Aussie I'm not sure we should be in it though 😏 6y
