Midlands Yellow 3,984 Posted May 18, 2019 Anyone watching ? We haven’t won it since 97 but Michael Rice is confident in bringing it home tonight . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted May 18, 2019 He can be as confident as he likes, sadly our song is ‘ordinary’at best and I fear we’ll have plenty of “null points” again. Denmark and Sweden, as usual, have been pretty good so far....Netherlands just on and sounds good (in Eurovision terms at least). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,300 Posted May 18, 2019 Norway for me, though it would be good to see the Czechs win just to have a new winner and hosted from Prague..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,502 Posted May 18, 2019 A celebration of camp mediocrity. I haven't watched it for about 50 years (Puppet On A String?). A waste of everyone's time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted May 18, 2019 They should cut interrupt certain judges and cut them off "Yeah Finland , 12 points to Sweden" Cyprus and Greece "12 points to each other" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A waste of everyone's time. It's not just camp, it's a bit of a freak show. It is as bizarre as anything on TV. Fair enough plenty of people like it and I watched some of it - but the Australian thing was as totally "far out" a creation as I have ever seen. Whoever thought that choreography up deserves a medal. Why Australia are there in the first place is hilarious. Weird doesn't describe this event - it is just a phenomenon.

How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,187 Posted May 19, 2019 bit disappointed with 10th position for Hatari, but it is one of their weaker songs They are on tour here next week, I´m going to see them in Reykjavík Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it about time we stop allowing the public to vote on things.😀😉 Just wiki'd Hatari, and although not a fan of the song, they have a good band ethos. Good luck to them.

clever trevor 16 Posted May 19, 2019 That will definitely be the last time we watch it,unbelievable what is portrayed as acceptable and normal nowadays.Its not really about the song anymore the sooner we stop setting people up to fail in a corrupt politically motivated cringeworthy competition the better.

Worst song of the night if it was them for me, don't even know how that can qualify as music tbh, but hope you enjoy the show, Reykjavik is a great place to visit.
