Eurovision!!!!

I very nearly went this year!!!!!

Have a listen to the tunes, yes I said TUNES!, for this years before writing it off. Even the slow ones are good, well some. I fancy going to Moldova. They always have a right boppy tune. Where is Moldova?
 
I'm surprised we havent stopped funding this and not walked away from the whole waste of money it is. If the rest of them want to do it, then pay up for it.

People watch this? Seriously? Wow.

Did you say Australia was in it? Someone failed Geography O Level then!

Yeah, don't get that either. Big following in Aussie land apparently so they let them in. Well, Israel has been in for years and I'm damned if I can find them in the European map!

Inclined to agree. Not sure why we bankroll it just so Europe can blackball us with their votes, and I can't think what it brings us in return.

We bank roll it coz it's cheap telly. We've not won for years and probably will never again, but it get Norton and the other two muppets who cover the semi finals a nice holiday.

Funded by us, the tv license payers. TOWIE or any other reality tv show may be cheap telly, but I have no interest in or watching it.
 
Mate at work, camp as a row of tents, goes every year and absolutely loves it. As did John Peel. So if it can please both of them then it is doing something right.

I think if people are seriously assessing every song then a) Look in the 'What are you listening to' thread and ask if we are really the arbiters of what is good music and b) they are kind of missing the point. It's camp entertainment where lots of countries get together, have a party and sing some songs. The way the world is going it will soon be the only event where countries can stand to be in the same room as each other. Enjoy it for what it is. Or watch something else.
 
I am gutted that Greece did not qualify. That was my favourite. Belgium's entry was very good as well and did not make it. I was surprised that Ireland qualified. Not the most exciting entry ever. Guess the gay love story angle worked its magic there. Albania qualifying was another surprise, but a welcome one. I like that song. All in all it was a very strong semi final with many good entries and very few cringeworthy ones (Iceland was quite awful and even though I find that dude from Belarus kind of cute and liked the video version of his song, the lyrics are hilariously bad and he really can't sing live). I absolutely love Israel's entry btw., but that is another song where the video version is probably a bit stronger than the live performance. Still, I guess that is one of the really hot candidates for the win on Saturday.

I am really surprised with myself. I really got into this this year. I can't remember ever being that excited about the ESC (exept maybe back in the 80s when Nicole won it for Germany)

Sorry I stopped posting and watching, we went out for a maccy d's, I'll watch the rest later today. I've watched this for years. Some years it's exceptional with some VERY strong songs, the last few years it's been a bit weak, in my opinion. But it's back with a bang this year. Some really strong songs again. Stunned the Ireland got though. Thursdays semi final has some quality in it. The UK could finish Rock Bottom......see what I did there??????
