As Eurovision fans spread across our continent, we have a lot of highs but there are also a lot of lows. We’ve put together 15 phrases guaranteed to fill Eurofans from Iceland to Azerbaijan with fear

1. The BBC finding a song with “instant impact and real memory staying power.”

electro velvet terrify

PLEASE GOD NO. 

2. “It’ll look better on the big stage.”

san marino eurovision 2012

No amount of stage is going to make this hot mess better.

3. Rap

rona nishliu

Rappers leave, get out, right now.

4. “We’ve decided to do something different with the interval act this year.”

stefan raab

Just let last year’s winner perform their new single for the love of god. 

5. When a spokesperson sings their points

kati austria

YOU CAN’T SING, YOU AREN’T FUNNY AND ALL WE CARE ABOUT ARE THE THREE BIG ONES, GOT IT?

6. Songs with “lively” dance routines

tanja amazing

This is just glossing over bad vocal isn’t it?

7. Singers with a “unique” voice

azerbaijan angels

Unique does not necessarily mean good…

8. Magic

getter jaani wan

CURSE ALL EUROVISION MAGICIANS. 

9. Returning artists

carola fall

You had your time, get out. 

10. “The song being written by a veteran composer…”

ruth lorenzo

Cover your ears people.

11. “…and being bigged up by the broadcaster…”
poland milk maid

Never trust a broadcaster. 

12. “…only to be as entertaining as a bucket of sick.”
axel hirsoux

HELP. 

13. When the only thing to say about a song is that it is “catchy”.

basim

AKA annoying as f*ck.

14. “Alternative” dance routines
moldova eurovision 2012

Don’t try and distract us from the naaaaaasty song with ratchet moves y’all.

15. “Wait for the hair change”

christina weave

HAVE MERCY PLEASE.

“That song is a real dark horse”, meaning nobody likes that awful song except yourself, and you just assume that someone else in the continent will vote for it.

“Good Evening Europe and Good Morning Australia” (for some), but they’ll probably get used to it eventually.
