2015 has kicked off, most likely with a massive hangover for most Eurovision fans… yes, let’s face it, it is expected (if not required) that Eurovision fans be heavy drinkers. But as we say our last goodbyes to 2014, it’s time to have a look at the reasons why 2014 was an absolutely fabulous year!
1. Because Poland…
2. Because Spain was on the verge of another civil war between Ruth-istas and Brequette-istas…
3. Because people appeared from a disco ball…
4. Because Ruth Lorenzo did win and her reaction was slightly out of proportion…
5. Because Romania’s performance made a lot of sense…
6. No, really…
7. Because Valentina *finally* qualified for the final…
and she decided to take the lyrics of her song quite literally…
8. Because Copenhagen’s Eurovision village always had the best atmosphere…
9. Because Molly reacted like this when Lise seemed to have a bit of awkward knowledge about her gran…
10. Because every Sanna fan was on the verge of a nervous breakdown when it wasn’t clear who had won Melodifestivalen…
11. But then they were able to breath again…
Of course, Ace’s fans were a bit less amused…
12. Because Lithuania had 23,984,019 shows to select an entry…
And somehow managed to end up with… ehm… that!
And made it even weirder with costumes that made absolutely no sense… hence winning the Barbara Dex…
13. Because Gobshite…
14. Because ofย Ruslana and the rest of the Belgian jury yelling and shouting that Belgium was going to win Eurovision. With Mother.
15. Because Teo’s dance was freaking awesome…
16. Because weird/senseless stage props were taken to a whole new level…
17. Because ofย Rybak weeping and griping because the Belarussian jury’s corruption favoured someone else and not himself…
18. Because The Netherlands went into the final as a dark horse, they almost won it… and they were freaking excited about it…
19.ย Because of Sebalter’s whistling… actually, because of Sebalter… oh, Sebalter!
20. Because Germany posed a question to which the answer was *clearly* NO! Definitely NOT RIGHT!
21. Because the stage was absolutely fabulous…
22. And because we are unity… and we are unstoppable…
