Anyone else tuning in?
We've got a thick set blonde dude with long hair and a minge of a beard shrieking out that he is a 'Space Man' in a piercing falsetto voice.
It's actually 3rd favourite. We won't get null point, we've shipped enough military hardware to Ukraine to get their vote at least.
Our song is bloody awful in all fairness, but you never quite know.
I don't waste my evenings:-)

I certainly won’t be wasting my time with it, but talk in the pub last night was that it’s nailed on for Ukraine to win it, probably with maximum points.

I normally love to watch this. I know we always do poorly but it’s still normally interesting to see who wins but it’s pretty clear Ukraine will totally walk it tonight - not because of their song but because of the war.
If ever anyone wanted to make easy money plonk it on a Ukraine win even at 1/4 on.

I never usually watch it or take any interest in it, but it seems to be getting much more media coverage than the last few years. I've only heard our song once, but apparently this year is supposedly the best we've had for years (so the media inform us), and we're quite high up in the betting. It's sods law though that the winner (Ukraine) is going to be determined by other reasons.

I wouldn't begrudge that happening, to be honest. Send a collective European "fuck you" to Putin, then see who comes second as the "real" winner. Next year's contest held in Mariupol steelworks...

Just take it for what it is…a bit of light hearted fun.

This shows nowt to do with the songs, it's all about politics, the Ukraine contestants could walk on stage and fart and stiil get 10 pts.

Allways detested it personally. Best thing to come out of it was when Lordi won it. Hope Ukraine gets full points tonight just as a big FU to Russia.

It's kind of a tradition to watch this every year, but since my mother died in February and we used to see it together at her place, all of us, it's not the same ... 😏
I saw most of semi 1 together w my brother, but missed the second semi on Thursday completely, where Sweden obviously got through. 🤪
From Semi 1 I remembered we both liked Portugal. The first five presented countries who got through were actually my five personal favourites! It's rare, very rare.
The commentator said none of these were booking favourites.

I actually think Sam Ryder representing UK is rather a good singer and seems like a nice bloke. He's been plugging away in various bands for years, went to Nashville, opened a vegan cafe carried on songwriting and doing gigs here and there. I'm sure everyone's aware that he came to light during the 'Covid years' singing covers on Tik Tok ..he can reach some notes I tell ya ,got some chops as they say, even a touch of Freddie Mercury dare I say?!Maybe not to everyone's liking I wish him loads of luck and will be tuning in as usual for my annual slice of Eurovision camp glam As we've all noted on this thread , it's obvious who the winner will be but our lad's said it's about performing in front of a big audience, doing what you enjoy most of all and hoping that music unites and brings a bit of happiness where it can. If we get nil points for this then we can safely say we are loathed by the masses of Europe I've got a feeling he's actually going to have a proper career anyway..

I won't be watching it because it's not my thing but I'll be a bit pissed off if we don't come last. I suppose it's the Stokie in me that does it. Sort of Bearpit two fingers up at the world because everybody hates us.
OS.

Wtf Australia ? I can see that going down well in a bar in Kalgoorlie.
Eurovision was the lead on the main French news tonight. Live reporting from the moron on the spot in Turin. Mainly because their song is in Breton. It’s as if the UK entry was in Cornish. Mind you listening to it it may as well be.

Portugal best so far. I wouldn't mind Netherlands or Sweden (of course).
Many not that good attempts.

We mark each song based on song/performance as we have not heard 24 of them before. So Top Greece and Poland pipping Finland/Germany/Estonia.
We never get the result right so lowest scores Armenia and Italy.
Musik Sweden we have 10th, its a bit dull.
G Norton has been ok. Mika is awful.
