MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just under an hour to go, who's going to be watching?
Nope... But my brother and his partner are nuts about it so I can't avoid getting all the updates anyway. Except when they're knee deep in ESC Fan TV stuff
Me 😁
Who's wearing the Eurovision T-Shirt they bought when they went to the semi final in Malmö a few years ago? No? Just me?
I'm a big fan. I will be following with a couple of beers
I have a Dutch wife.
When I asked her 20 years ago after a few years living in England what annoyed her about the UK she said there were only 3 things.
No cycling infrastructure
Nobody washed their hands after going to the toilet.
Nobody had Eurovision party's
We will be watching tonight especially as it's in the flipping motherland!
Eeeh, she'll catch her death in that
Strong start from Cyprus!
Do they have to share costumes this year?
Mmm, underwhelming so far
Watching for the first time in years. Now't else on, and exhausted the new Netflix Zombie movie last night - that was fun.
Albanian one nothing special, but the Cypriot one was a decent job. Looking forward to the Norwegian entry, and the Icelandic one.
Israel with a song called 'Set me Free'... oh the Irony whilst they bomb Palestine.
<Zaphod>Oh Belgium!</Zaphod>
Misjudged.
No stage invasion for Israel; security must be beefed up for them.
Belgium is shite.
Yeh, didn't want to like Israel, but the best so far. Though Belgium pretty good actually
Russia for the win...? It’s got everything!
That's more like it. We like the russia
This seems Lizzo-lite.
I have standards.
No ballards, please. Next!
Portugal are good.
Russia ftw!
Serbia going for the Beyonce look, but the song is crap.
There is a lot of hair in Serbia.
Sláinte Terry.
+1 for Russia.
Cyprus was good fun too.
Belgium - a bit mismisjudged bringing actual musical instruments to Eurovision, too slow too!
Oh it’s us, please get at least 1 point this year…
That’s the UK’s best song for a while. They still all hate us though (except for Malta of course).
Idiots question - this is all lip synced? They seem to have mics on for the end of the tracks at least?
Greece - wow that was visually quite exciting. The music was pretty good too. I think that’s in a top 3 for me.
Nope. All live AFAIK
The Swiss better stick to making BMC bikes.
Great song, but not really EuroVision.
Now this is proper EV - thank you Iceland!
Iceland FTW!
Iceland. Brilliant.
Oh lordy. Iceland have zoomed to the top for me now.
Yeah I actually like that Iceland one, that was properly good.
We love them but last year's song felt better
Iceland would be worthy winners on so many levels
“JA JAAA DING DONG”
I’d have fallen off that rotating square about 6 times by now. And that was a big high note at the end there. Won’t forget that one!
If Germany get a better score than the UK...🤯
Either the German fella has dropped acid, or I have
I'm liking the hand that keeps dropping to a single finger. Accidental?
Something something giving me the finger. Properly bonkers, Germany - well done!
Oh this is great! It’s 2006 and Im listening to pop metal again!
Finland is good
Slipnokia?
Slipnokia
Bravo 👏
I just got that. It took me 3 minutes. Very good.
I am watching Sicario 2: Soldada in few minutes ...
Oh ya most of my EU friends love Eurovision especially the females. I only watch with them to see their reaction so funny.
Wow that MC lady is fit.
“Some people from IT who’ve dressed up as Steps”
God bless Graham Norton 😂
The mushrooms in Lithuania are strong this year.
Lithuania is bonkers, where else would you see this sort of thing if it wasn't for Eurovision
Looks like Trinity took the green pill by mistake
I liked Lithuania
... Ukraine is looking suitably bonkers
Those mushrooms haven’t worn off yet, have they!
I think I've got a 'type' now
Ukraine is far more catchy than you'd expect
Lithuania was ace 😎 Flash back to early 80s
#orvillekiller
Nahh ... France ... nahhh ... I don't know if she is singing or talking.
p/s: It's badddd ...
#orvillekiller
😃😃
Strong finish from Ukraine - have them bouncing off the walks at closing time in Kiev
Wow Ukraine 😍 Just need a bit of yoiking in there too
Ooh, cute French lady. I think she may have had a little orgasm.
Is it my imagination or are a lot of the costumes and dancing very similar this year?
Looks like he’s clubbing in the mid 90s.
Pfft! Seen one massive set of angel wings, seen ‘em all
Johnson out of Peep show has grown his hair
Loving it, there's been some great entries this year!
I thought Greek entry was pure eurovision.
Iceland and daði gagnamagnið get my vote! Was gutted they didn't get to compete with "think about things". Circular 3-piece keyboard-megazord was inspired!
Go Italy! Shattering my lazy preconceptions of what an Italian Eurovision entry should sound like 😎
I have this weird dream where Richard E Grant fronts the New York Dolls…..
(Props to Mat for spelling the Icelandic entry with all the diacritics. Voting for them, Russia and Germany.)
Finland gets my vote then the rest of the votes go to those sexy ladies ...
Iceland, Norway or Ukraine for me.
Genuinely Ukraine was my favourite
Cyprus, Iceland or Lithuania get my vote.
Fwiw, there’s a lot of online betting on bet fair - Italy currently favourite on the exchange.
Genuinely Ukraine was my favourite
Can’t vote for #orvillekiller 🤣🤣
Props to Mat for spelling the Icelandic entry with all the diacritics
lazy cut and paste from google I'm afraid!
I’ve stuck a fiver on us coming last. Only 2/1 odds but that’s basically a free fiver, right?
I can't see a lot of competition for last place other than the UK and I didn't dislike our song when it was on the radio.
