Eurovision 2018

Typical myopic response from the members on here. Closed off to anything they don’t get. A quick glance at most threads in the OOB shows that.
But to dismiss it as rubbish with our even watching, and to write that with no hint of irony, brings a new level to this place. I shake my head in your collective direction. Come join me on the sunlit uplands, you may like it ??

I don't get what anyone would like about it but then again I am Myopic.

Saw bits of it and one or two decent songs. However, too many acts relying on gimmicks and the days of the music being the over riding criteria are long gone. Votes are now based on political alliances and if Australia are in it, it makes a mockery of being called Eurovision. Why not open it up to a world event? I get it being entertainment to some, but not my cup of tea and not something I could endure from start to finish. I'll take my snatched few minutes here and there and be contents with that

I liked the Moldova entry . Didn't care so much for the winning song. Harmless fun and my kids enjoy it.

That’s it, I watched every year as a kid, it was like a proper event you looked forward to.
Nowadays it just seems crap, a kind of freak show in a way but then again so does BGT and I hate that as well 😂

This, Eurovision used to be acceptable viewing. I mean how could you not like ABBA and brotherhood of man. But that was back in the day when acts actually came from Europe.

You are showing your age there Bob (smillie button not working so please pretend a jolly, happy smillie is here right now). Surprised you missed Brotherhood on Man off the list (same again)

Watched a total of about ten minutes of it (not all in one go) just out of curiosity. I stopped watching it many years ago. It's just a load of silly nonsense that you can make of just whatever you want. If you want silly nonsense with folk in silly clothes taking themselves seriously and none too seriously - then this is perfect viewing. And I suspect manna for the on-line gambling fraternity

i quite like the way Terry used to rip the piss out of it and now his successor Graham Norton, but the the actual program itself is terrible and didn't see any this year.

I think to quite a lot of people that is the program. As we have clearly established, no one really watches it for the musical quality.

It’s almost become a parody of itself. I don’t watch it these days because it’s gone too far towards being daft. I’ll watch Coronation Street if I want that 😂

The little I watched - Norton sounded a bit bored and rather forcing the jolly sarcasm and scepticism...
