Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 12/02/2025almost looks like a UK artist announcement graphic for a weird alternative universe Eurovision 2003 where Latvia took the branding in an even stranger direction to the one they chose 080
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 07/02/2025kinda obsessed with the weirdly specific timings for Eurosong starting and finishing, feeling like I'm about to catch a train watching this 481
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 07/02/2025On today of all days, I felt like revisiting what is (supposedly) the biggest missed opportunity the UK ever had at Eurovision. 2010 didn't know what would have hit it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E4-...youtube.comKatie Melua - The FloodYouTube video by DramaticoMusic 450
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 04/02/2025What I've learned is that I could have completely ignored all my television/music industry/BBC sources for the last month and just pushed the random thought I threw out there on Bluesky whilst stuck in Christmas mode, and been exactly on the money. The life of a UK Eurofan. 1111
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 28/01/2025so the thing is whilst some of the cities didn't care about the insignia (Turin) and some cared a lot (Liverpool), it's still a bit of tradition and personality that the host city can no longer inject. Eurovision going forwards is very template and style guide-y and it feels like a loss. 3203
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I like this Swiss host, he's kinda budget Rylan with his little facts and tenuously connecting the country drawn to Switzerland via fondue or something 070
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 28/01/2025best words I got as a eurofan 10 minutes before the allocation draw was "we're cutting the meeting short" 250
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 27/01/2025That false alarm UK press release has reminded me to thank a LOT of you for checking in with me after that Traitors mess on Friday night. I was fine, almost everyone was chill and forgiving about it, and it's a good reminder that the BBC are both ambitious and *messy* 160
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 26/01/2025it was a WatchMojo video of all things that taught me that Telex (Belgium 1980) appeared on Top of the Pops in the UK a few years before youtu.be/a_LPNSLjuj0?...youtu.beTop 20 WTF Top Of The Pops PerformancesYouTube video by WatchMojoUK 040
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025choosing to assume the Bardo who produced for July Jones at EMA are the UK 1982 act and not someone else 030
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025someone tell the Luxembourg scriptwriters that if you do the bit where you tease a break to ramp up the noise level in the arena you're not actually meant to go to a break 😭 #lsc 140
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I can see why some like Mumford & Dude(lange)s but they lean a bit too Christian music festival for me #LSC 120
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025if you couldn't tell by the documentary interval segment about France Gall, or the DJ and kids choir performing France Gall, Luxembourg have a song they'd like to win this NF. See if you can spot it! #LSC 2144
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025oh there's one more song??? we've had three interval acts already and one of them was a proposal #LSC 150
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025sorry but directly referencing France Gall just tips Poupee over from 'subtle callback' to an eyeroll and a 'yeah okay we get it you want this one to win' #LSC 140
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025utterly gorgeous interval act I don't even care that it was 4 songs into a 7 song final #LSC 150
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Luzac is a potential bottom 5 song of the whole NF season for me, I'm so sorry #LSC 000
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025sorry to be predictable but it's Rhythmic Soulwave for me or else, not as good live as I'd hoped for and it might take a while to get somewhere but I love it so much #LSC 130
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I vaguely remember the production values being high last year but this is an amazing setup for Luxembourg, wish I cared more about all but one of the songs here but good for them #LSC 030
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Just checking in after... that. I don't want anyone to be mad, just to clarify my source was solid and accurate and has been many times before on telly and music industry things. I actually sat on the Friday Traitors info for a few days until I could confirm it so... yeah. Apologies. 6171
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 24/01/2025the Traitors ending is absolutely horrible so I'm now twice as screwed if nothing Eurovision happens, HELP #TheTraitors 8161
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 24/01/2025UK Eurofans at the end of the Traitors when they're told that the Eurovision entry is being announced on BBC Red Button 060
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Amanda Holden on The One Show tonight is a bad omen for the UK at Eurovision 1120
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025but anyway, those opening 20 minutes or so with Charlotte vs Freddie, the final 10 minutes or so. Maybe up there among the best episodes of any television I have EVER seen. #TheTraitors 270
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025The Traitors is the most tense programme anyway but knowing there might be a Eurovision artist hiding in Claudia’s walk-in wine cellar tomorrow is absolutely killing me. 1120
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025can't share the post here, but Sam Ryder just got nominated for Song of the Year at the #BRITs 2110
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I hope people are ready for me to be insufferable about DK Enerhetyk, Ukraine have a gothic shoegaze song at Vidbir that's part-Sisters of Mercy, part-Slowdive and I'm losing my mind 080
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025there's one every year, a style of song I've never heard before, with an instrument I'm not sure about, that only Portugal could pull off at FdC A Cantadeira – Responso à Mulher is going to be amazing live 020
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025jumped into an FdC lyric video totally at random because the band in the thumbnail looked cool (NAPA – Deslocado) shut my eyes and just had a beautiful moment sat at my desk at work, I love you Portugal 060
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 23/01/2025controversial maybe, and having the odd big name from a long time ago is a healthy thing, but Ireland should steer clear of picking Samantha Mumba at Eurosong just because ✨famous✨ they absolutely do not need to copy UK 2011-2013 when they're on course doing their own thing. 0100
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Charlotte, please (fail to) murder Leanne for the 1000 IQ move, thanks #TheTraitors 140
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I love this show so much, that Charlotte vote was just #TheTraitors 0100
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 22/01/2025said this on the other side, but I still refuse to believe that the Moldovan auditions had dropped so radically in quality that S*sh* B*gn*b*v jumped from last place in 2023 and 2024 all the way to the final. They were bad, but they're always bad. I think a rogue juror wanted to prove a point. 2111
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 20/01/2025from a UK perspective I can confirm people throw around 𝙀𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚™️ too quickly, but Bobbi Arlo would absolutely keep Ireland in the final, the Irish Eurovision renÉiressance is alive and well. 0141
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 18/01/2025🚨 15 minute warning for Moldova auditions, Tudor Bumbac, two songs that actually sound kinda interesting, a load of AI slop that may or may not actually show up, it's all here 250
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 17/01/2025me on #TheTraitors: "so anyway I would like to pay off BHRT's debt to the EBU and bring Bosnia and Herzegovina back to Eurovision" 1527
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 14/01/2025-the first of two trips to Eurovision for Tudor Bumbac -the DNA song singer from last year, back again with a song written by the writer of Denmark 1987 again for some reason -at least two AI slop artists -an ESC youtuber -POOPS 071
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Fozia is absolutely the one, thank you for bringing her back #TheTraitors 040
Cuz @heisthecuz.bsky.social · 09/01/2025if you actually knew the how, when and why, you would know that it's not as simple as your post suggests. 👎 5140
