Eurovision 2017

Notice how King EU's crown is heart-shaped in the last panel.

@Spiclypeus Nice catch and thank for pointing that out.

@Spiclypeus
Yup, good catch, which can only mean that the rest of the year his head is full of spikes.

@CorruptUser Unless it's actually a big middlefinger ^^

@Spiclypeus I just noticed that, that's so cute! :3

I am not really interested in ESC, but I am glad that the winner's song was in his mother tongue.
There were times when each country sung in one of its national languages.
They speak of diversity, but many sing in English.
Sad.

@Nanok there is a reason for that change and that is because if it was not in english there would be a very low chance to win the competition if you look at the winners from before and after you will see that majority of them were english speaking countrys(in particulare ireland) and after it has been all over the board.

now you probably saying why does winning even matter? and i say to you that why compete if you got no to low chance of actually winning?

Yey! My country won for the first time! I'm so happy!

@Deia, It was well deserved and I hope it might inspire my own country of Denmark to actually sing in Danish instead of this attempt to 'manufacture' a Eurovision winner, which doesn't really work anyway.

It should be about celebrating diversity after all.

@Pariah Yeah, you're right! Good luck next year! I've heard quite some songs in danish and I belive it'd be nice if they were shared.
Hungary already sung in hungarian, like for example: Belarus in belarussian and France in french it's your turn.

Sad that Stefan Karl Stefansson declined the petition his fans made for him to represent Iceland.

Sister Ukraine has a dick?

Chernobyl and Soviet Union happened there, we shouldn't be surprised.

Show Portugal winning!

But.. But... Butt..!

...but if jokes aside - it actually was a lovely competition, even if we didn't participated this year. ^^

LOL, even Russia tag is mysteriously missing
BTW, is there any chance there's gonna be another Eurovision 2017 comic after the grand final? Something about Italy and his monkey, or about Denmark actually being undercover Sister Australia, or about Russia smuggling its people (a.k.a. Bulgaria and Armenia) to the grand final, or Portugal (potentially) winning Eurovision after 50 years of losing? (Yes, I'm a Eurovision nerd)

@astrelle I know the Bulgarian contestant has a Russian parent and was born in Moscow, and on I forget which Russian singing competition, but what about Armenia?

@yellow1357 The Armenian singer has been living in Moscow since childhood and participated in the Voice of Russia a couple of years ago.

@yellow1357 and the Bulgarian guy was on the Voice Kids Russia

@astrelle
Well, yes, Anja is indeed Australian-raised and born. She has to win for us!

@astrelle ...And lots of spokespersons and participants mispronounced the name of the capital of Ukraine as "Kiev" (that's how it's pronounced in Russian) instead of "Kyiv". But I don't blame them, it's a common mistake.

@Eve Not that many people in the world speak Ukrainian I don't know about others, but at least I was trying to pay attention to the pronunciations It seems like "Kyiv" is one syllable (English speakers usually pronounce it with two) - it sounded like something that would be spelled "Keev" or "Keeiv" (bit of a dipthong) in English. Ukraine sounded like "Oo cry-ee na", but in phrases (for example, "Слава Україні") I heard it as "Oo cry-ee ni"; I assume that's a declension difference, e.g. accusative vs. nominative or something similar.

While I've seen Ukrainian written fairly frequently (from following the conflict in Donbas), I only rarely hear it spoken.

PORTUGAL!!! TIME FOR BROTHER AND SISTER PORTUGAL

@FPhoenix Indeed it is. So what stereotypes should Brother Portugal represent in this comic?

@Rogers Brother and Sister Sobral (these two sibilings that won Eurovision'17) are great representations! <3

@Rogers

I would like to see sister Portugal as a fado singing melancholic "Finland of the South" type of girl

@Fionia Sounds good. When she is not playing the guitar she carries with her all the time she takes a siesta. Sounds like my kind of girl realy, probably because we in northern Sweden are more like Brother Finland than Brother Sweden.

@Rogers Little and hairy with a trowel

@FPhoenix Parabéns! You won at last! I don't actually remember any Eurovision song from Portugal in any other language but Portuguese. That's what I call patriotism, not the stupid manifestations or insane laws... (like here :/ )

@FPhoenix RIGHT!? I've been waiting for a long time to see Portugal in these comics Liked their perfomance in the end but his speech was a bit harsh

@LeSneakyRaccoon I fully agree that it's time to see bro and sis Portugal! But I'd like to disagree with you about his speech. I thought it was spot on, although I won't advise him to become a politician or lobbyist.

Actually, I wanted Bulgaria to win, but Portugal is also great! Congratulations! And his performance with sister was adorable, I liked it even more than his solo.

@little_donut
I wanted Bulgaria to win too...

@NorwegianFairytale It was such a pity that I couldn't vote for him However there is a bright siide, at least we enjoyed a wonderful show thanks to Ukraine.
