Eurovision in the future

[MisterJ]

I dont think ive ever watched a single second.

Me neither

Terry Wogan used to be quite fabulous at taking the pish! Very cutting when he put his mind to it.

 

[Blueboy57]

Does anyone actually watch it?

Nah, never been the same since Katie Boyle packed it in.

I couldn't give a toss about Eurovision but if UK wants to win it just send an actual proper artist rather than all these random bumblesquat artists no one has heard of. I guess the problem would be convincing legitimately talented artists to tank their rep by appearing on a meme tier entertainment show.

Are you even allowed to send legitimate artists ? or is there some kind of rule where they have to be amateurs/unknown ?

We'd probably still not win it anyway given it's seemingly mostly political.



It's somehow more watched than the SuperBowl. It's one of the biggest TV events in the world each year. Bizarre.

The bloke we just sent was the lead singer from Years & Years.

This Drek from 1966, was far superior to that noise from Olly last night.

Besides the obvious Pet shop boys overtones, he should have known better. Specifically...

The UK legitimately won in 2022 but a concerted sympathy vote made Ukraine the winners.

Well I don’t care enough about Eurovision to debate it, but the UK received the most points from all the juries with Ukraine nowhere. Then the public vote gave Ukraine all the points because of the war.

So my point isn’t the technicality of the voting system, but an example of the UK being capable and ‘not hated’ enough in Europe to be successful in this dodgy singing competition.

Load of pony.

Has about the same gravitas and validity as sports personality of the year. Surprised it still exists. Seems to be a good excuse for weirdos to dress up and get some attention, each to their own.

Shambles!

Hmmm… I bet you wanted Liverpool to get a trophy for finishing second by 1 point too
