Eurovision 2023 - Liverpool

[T & P]

Well, one thing I'm learning is that Europe's juries and I do not agree on musical taste

They might as well let the public have 100% of any country’s vote decisions. The so-called judges of many if not most countries heave even laughably biased and predictable throughout the entire span of the competition.

 

[quimcunx]

did she just make a joke about occupation?

 

[5t3IIa]

Hands up anyone, anyone at all, gay, straight, guy, gal or non-binary pal, who does NOT fancy hannah Waddingham.

She’s lovely. Imma pirate her show.

12 points to Australia from the My House jury, 12 points to Belgique from the My House popular vote. They are both me.

 

[pbsmooth]

Starting to feel like I am the only person in the universe who doesn't find her madly attractive (and I'm bi, so it's not for that reason). I mean she seems nice and all, but not in that way!

I'm also not that bothered (and had no idea who she was).

 

[magneze]

Finland to win after public vote.

 

[Chz]

Unless the public really disliked Sweden, it's looking pretty stacked in their favour.

Thing is, didn't they (re?)introduce the jury vote because pure public vote was too 'political'?

Wish I'd voted now, try to even out some of this bullshit.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Pretty sure public votes have piled on hundreds of points in the past.

 

[Oriole]

The Greek pleather suit jacket was something, not a good something.

 

[skyscraper101]

Belgium rightly getting some respec finally.

 

[ginger_syn]

catherine tate seems merry

 

[pbsmooth]

Couldn't work out if Catherine Tate was in character or not

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Couldn't work out if Catherine Tate was in character or not

Lola Ferrari I think

 

[Chz]

Pretty sure public votes have piled on hundreds of points in the past.

Oh yes, but I find it hard to imagine Sweden not picking up a few hundred from the public, even if they're not the favourite.

 

[pbsmooth]

Sweden singer seems to have the least energy in the entire room poor thing

 

[skyscraper101]

Is it normally on this late? It's approaching 2am in some parts of Europe.

 

[a_chap]

So... we start the public vote.

You gullible people have all paid millions of pounds in mobile phone text fees and, guess what.

Ha ha ha... they won't make a jot of difference.

The winner is...

pre-determined.

 

[Sapphireblue]

come on Belgium

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fifteen for Germany??

For shame, Europe, for shame

 

[quimcunx]

Yes Croatia.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just squawked a "ha!" for UK's public vote

 

[Orang Utan]

The background music is doing my noggin in

 

[Bingoman]

25th wow

 

[Lord Camomile]

Germany and UK, so often united in bottom of the table music

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Back we go to "Why do we even take part, everyone hates us!"

 

[quimcunx]

Norway. Quite right too.

 

[Raheem]

Second last. Nice to see tradition reassert itself and equilibrium restored.

 

[Lord Camomile]

25th wow

Tbh, I love ragging on UK entries as much as anyone, but really didn't think it was that bad this year. Certainly not second worst.

But then, I also voted for Germany

 

[Epona]

She said she was bursting inside, which is the sort of thing I say when I really need a wee.
Those nails probably make it difficult tho so she might have to wait til after
