Just_me

I heard they been in the same cloths and masks for a whole week. Those finnish must be stinking

Mr. Mercedes

How incredibly disturbing that these guys actually won. Does this represent the cream of contemporary musical talent Europe has to offer?

BTW, what is the actual point of Eurovision?

MikeJ

Of course it is. You need to get drunk to watch it, it's not like anyone's going to be able to tolerate 2 hours of peace/love/lost-my-goat type of songs without a little refreshment.

The Artist

yeah man.. and i dont drink..so it aint for me..

My life is as following:
CRACK SMOKE CHOCOLATE EAT..hahaha J/K

MikeJ

The cream of contemporary musical talent has never bothered with Eurovision.
Just for the record, they're just a bunch of guys (and a girl) that like to dress up as monsters, nothing to be taken too seriously or to get worried about.
The point of Eurovision? That's a tough one..

Just_me

Mike, do all finnish people look like them?

MikeJ

No, just the pretty ones.
