Madonna did perform in 2019 though. And Cher has the ABBA connection now. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 14/07/2020 12:36:54 AM

And yeah, I actually paused the movie in the scene on the balcony in Alexander's mansion because I was confused, eventually concluding that there couldn't possibly be any mansion in Edinburgh from where you could have that view. The huge concert hall's location made even less sense but was also pretty blatantly fake. Nevertheless, Edinburgh is gorgeous and it made me long to go back there.

I do have to say, though, they could at least have restricted their medley during the party to actual Eurovision songs. Maybe Cher and Madonna might be considered honourary Eurovision artists at a stretch, what with being gay icons, but the Black Eyed Peas? Seriously?


But yeah I agree. I could have done without the Black Eyed Peas for some more European centered/Eurovision acts.

Given my love for her, I would have loved Verka Serduchka. In any role, shape, or form. Or anything from Ireland who I think was sadly unrepresented in the film.

Anyway, I am glad that you enjoyed it!

Yeah, many of mine aren't very pop-py or typical modern Eurovision camp. - 14/07/2020 06:16:21 PM 246 Views
I like her music. She feels very 80s. But with a modern twist. - 14/07/2020 09:29:18 PM 276 Views

Is it weird that the one who posts a review is apparently the only one ignorant of Eurovision here? *NM* - 15/07/2020 05:18:45 AM 143 Views
