Slovenia opened the Eurovision Song Contest with the lead vocalist wearing headphones and her backing members playing air violins… That’s right, air violins.
Twitter immediately opened in a wave unforgiving one-liners, even former Westminster politician John Prescott got in on the act.
Check out some of the best reaction below:
Is she wearing headphones so she can't hear the backing track? #Eurovision

If you leave your violin backstage the show must go on #Eurovision #Eurovision2015

I don't think so Slovenia. She's fortunate to be wearing headphones #Eurovision2015

Is the headphones thing designed to be an attention grabber or what #Eurovision2015

Someone tell the Slovenian Violinist that someone's nicked her instrument… and the bow! #Eurovision2015

To be fair, it's hard to sing when you are listening to a different song. #eurovision2015

1. Slovenia – not understanding the headphones, do not believe they are taking the event seriously enough.
