But by definition of the fact you are commenting on that is it so bad you must be watching it. So you can't believe yourself.

Exactly - it’s bloody funny at times , entertaining , a giggle and just harmless fun - some of the music is just bloody awful but it’s just entertainment that’s all - the judgements made towards people for watching it is poor

I bet the type of people who complain about the poor quality of songs on Eurovision are the same types who complain that the winner of Sports Personality of the year does not have a personality.

I mean they get to vote in elections and the like. The same morons who are entertained by this can influence the lives of the general population. That’s worrying.

Again you’re insulting people because of a program they watch ? Just because you don’t like doesn’t make anyone who does watch it a moron. Stop insulting people because of their taste in television program - as been already it says a lot about you

It says I’m not entertained by poorly performed music. I’m happy to be that guy.

Can assure you i didnt watch it. I watched the fixed voting then they pulled the Israeli
“ winner “out at the end.
Totally agree with the ironic etc comments.
As much as some try to defend that dross That is eurovision. When was the last time a winner or anyone went onto make a career out of this comp.

But what is the point of Eurovision.....serious question.......it used to be popular music that would chart and even make No1 in many countries and be the catalyst for some artists to go on and be successful. I am now "#MISSINGTHEPOINT" even though I haven't watched it for years.
Even if it was good music the political bias in judging (from what I have heard) - makes it a joke surely?
At least SPOTY involves the best sportsmen and women.

It’s an entertainment show - it’s point it’s to entertain people all over the continent and it does exactly that. The winners love it , it’s a giggle watching the points come in and you know who will vote for who - it’s doesnt take itself too serious and people shouldn’t take it too seriously as well - it’s just a bit of fun , my goodness the world needs a lot of it.

Did you have a Eurovision themed party & all have a blooming good time Phillip?
I was out early this morning, helped with the cards after, so not long back. I've just seen the results table. Bizarre, just bizarre.
I'm pleased we found one song we could agree on 😁. Roll on next year.
(I hope I never have to hear the Israeli song ever again though😁😱

It's a big camp party bringing some fun in a world of earnest seriousness and over analysis.

Why watch the voting and not the competition? It's like watching the stewards enquiry but not the horse race.
As for your question about careers then probably 1974. But then again, I am not sure a plump Israeli Bjork look a like with chicken dance moves went on it to get a long and sustained career out of it.

Apparently a lot of the acts are already well established in their own Country, just because “we†don’t recognise them doesn’t make it bad, maybe these acts see it as a stepping stone to furthering their profile and career.

I've heard some contestants talk before. For a UK career it is the kiss of death. However it raises their profile in Europe, where they do not laugh at it, and you can have a very tidy career selling and touring on the continent. I think Bonnie Tyler said she did it to build her profile for the summer touring festival season in Europe, particularly in Germany.
We always look at it through UK eyes. There is a bigger picture.

Missis T went out last night and left me in charge of the remote, it was BGT or Eurovision 😖, watched Judge dredd then a bit of Forest Gump. During the adverts did a bit of channel surfing and the voting was on. It was probably the best bit.
