Thorc

Id give it 7. But there were others I liked more like France, its the only melody still stuck in my head.

Energetic performance, well-staged.

Song way above Eurovision average.

8/10.

I'd give it an 8

It was my second favourite behind Croatia.

Sadly while I probably could afford to get them both without any real issue, I'd feel guilty as fuck to my budget dropping over a grand on Lego sets. I don't like getting more than one big set a year.

I might also need dimensions on this one to be sure it could fit on my shelf. The height might be an issue.

Unfortunately theyre not on display right now (I dont think the bin full of the sets in bags would be a very exciting pic ).

Rivendell and Orthanc are assembled though. Orthanc is actually the longest Ive kept a set assembled. It hasnt been taken apart since I built it when I bought it when it released.

Why is that goblin wielding mjolnir?

I wish that they offered early in-store purchase for members. Because what good is being able to order it online early when itll get there a few days after its available to everyone?

Huh. I was feeling like a new big set soon. Was eyeing up the Razor Crest but might want to get this one instead...

That LEGO Mouth of Sauron is so happy to be here.

When does this come out?

Day 1 purchase. Ive got every other LotR set, aint stopping here.

Also I was expecting it to be more expensive so thats a nice surprise.

Is he trapped in Sweden like Rocky Ace App?

Which streaming site are you using to compare them?

I was just looking at the ESC Youtube channel to get the views all from one source, and it's all over the place.

For the finals it's 7th place in views there with 1.8 million views, but If you look at the semi final shows, it's 4nd place with 3 million (behind Netherland, switzerland and... Greece?)

EDIT: My bad, 4th place in 2nd semi final only, the first semi final is further down.

https://eurovision.tv/vote

Why 20 times and not 10 or 30?

Broccoli hair won

does anyone watch Heartstopper I have like an --- idk thought about it

Just over half the total votes are from the public, and they can completely change the result.

Like they did the year that Ukraine won.

Croatia won the televote
Switzerland won the jury vote and overall competition

Yeesh

Yeah, but that's life. I am glad Joost got through.

I don't know man. I'm iffy on that level of protest against an individual for a singing contest.

I've never watched Eurovision so I might be ignorant on the level of national representation it represents. Like, I can understand protesting an Olympic team during Olympics (Russia for example). Should I be seeing this in the same manner? Maybe that's where my disconnect is.

I dont live in Europe though.

Whoa, the Israeli government is a talent show contestant? That's wild. It's 2024 though, I won't judge.

What's Australia currently doing?

I think he means the half circle on his chest, like a slice of watermelon.

I sure hope so. Still have hope for top 10 but competition is quite fierce this year <3

If nothing comes up, I'll be watching. Gotta root for our boy.

Just a quick reminder that Israel is permitted at Eurovision yet even waving the Palestinian flag isn't allowed

America tried to do a Eurovision. It was called American Song Contest. But it only happened once and then got canceled. I actually watched it. But it probably wasn't as grand as Eurovision. Basically instead of countries, they had every state, plus all US territories submit a song. I can't even remember who won

That was almost scary for real. Insane yet awesome theatrics. Song was nice too.

Bambie Thug advanced? Awesome.

Edit:
I just watched their performance. Wow.

Could possibly be the best Eurovision act of all time.

Also, it fucking sucks the EBU censored their makeup.

why would anyone do that

Didn't Sweden just join NATO?

Was the artist supporting free Palestine as well? I know lot of Israelis are against the genocide

It's probably a pretty safe bet both that Israel would not send a pro-Palestine competitor and that a pro-Palestine person would refuse to represent Israel at any event.

Why do they even get to be part of Eurovision independently of world events rn?

Mic up the audience instead of the performer, it sounds like what they're saying is more valuable.

Good, they shouldn't even be there.

Quite a show <3

What a show.

I can't watch it
