Eurovision 2019

I was happy for Azerbaijan, Malta and Norway (or Sweden? With indigenous not yodelling) going through from last night.

I actually think it's a pretty strong Eurovision year. So there. :p
I'm liking the way bondage fashion has hit Europe. :D

Nil points for England. Brexit, no one likes us, they all hate us and laugh at us.
Fortunately, I'm working tomorrow night. :)
 
I’ve watched the two semifinals during the week and awaiting the big final tonight with excitement! Yeah, it’s not trendy to be a Eurovision fan but who cares?

I’m struggling to pick a favourite, but my wife seems strangely affected by the San Marino guy. She’s taken to throwing things at the TV when the bald guy in the Norwegian act starts yodelling (or is it called “hoiking”?)

Sweden will probably win it as usual.
 
That’s a relief. Seems we are safe in this thread and the Eurovision haters will never find us here :thumbs:

I actually like Moldova’s effort and it seemed like a shame they didn’t qualify. Australia seem to be just trying to test how much “bonkers” they can get away with and still be allowed back the next year and Belarus appear to have transported Britney Spears in a time machine from 2009.

I’ve heard that Italy is one of the favourites, but honestly can’t see why. It’s like a parody.
 
Norway or Iceland I hope, but it will probably be Sweden or the Dutch.

We won't win (needless to say).
 
I caught Ireland's entry last night and it was so unbelievably awful I thought they really were doing a My Lovely Horse.

I hope it was just nerves which made her sing it so badly in the semi, and that she conquers them and gives a better performance tonight. I suspect that is her singing style though and she’s been chosen mainly for looks.

She spent half the performance with her back to the audience and the rest sitting behind a bench. It was terrible :D
 
Not very impressed watching the semi's. Rather starkly exposed the fact that a lot of modern pop isn't designed or built with live performance in mind. Downloaded the entries and was a bit surprised that it's not actually as bad a year as I'd thought. Rather a lot of songs which work OK as a listening experience but which didn't come over very well live. Interesting to see if any of them up their game tonight.
 
Wont be watching it.
I've not watched it in years.
Heading out for a curry instead :D
And I can guarantee ye that not one public house will be showing the eurovision where I am. :thumbs::D
 
Its jsut not true - UK did well a couple of years back - 110 points or so
I predict at least that many points this year :hmm:
Last time I watched I am pretty sure we ended up with null points :)

And who chooses who represents us in the voting, because I have usually neve heard of them!!

There's a public vote of about 6 acts to choose from this year.
You're not watching enough Eurovision :mad:
