Favourites for the Eurovision

[said]

Out of curiousity I have been listening to some of the entries for this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

I hoped I would not be bored out of my mind - anyway, I gave some of them a few seconds of my time - the huge majority I would not put on a pub karaoke show never mind a world contest. Political - absolutely!

I enjoyed the Russian entry, which was completely different and does not give a fig for Politics

I have only seen the Iceland entry.

The one with the dancing like in that old film Napoleon Dynamite.

Cannot remember the Iceland song.

Oh dear. Looks like poor old James Newman is the latest casualty of Brexit.
Nil points.

I really can’t believe that people still watch this ridiculous political circus.

[Starling]

Måneskin really ought to have worn boxer shorts under their lederhosen.

[justbecause]

I can’t believe that the U.K. still pumps money in and takes part in this farce, knowing that we don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting a positive result.

Our entry was rubbish though.
Patriotism can only go so far.

No oomph in the performance.
James Newman looked like he was pub singing.

Full marks for being a good sport though.

It was as if the UK was not bothered about creating a good impression. I did not watch it at all - though I was curious to see of any could actually sing.

The show organisers provided the acts with great visual backdrops/lighting effects. Performers, with very few exceptions, delivered their numbers with obvious enthusiasm.....Where it failed imo, was down to second-rate song material right across the board. None of the entries was what you could call 'catchy'. I wouldn't be in a hurry to go buy any of them tbh.

Nil points was expected. I'd have been genuinely surprised if it turned out differently.

I can't understand how the winner got so many points. The days of Eurovision producing catchy numbers seem to have passed about 30 years ago.

In fact, the general sound of the songs seemed about 30 years old.

I thought Malta was the best of the bunch.

Amanda Holden's 10 seconds of fame was absolutely cringeworthy. "Bon soir. Goedenavond. That is good evening in French and Dutch although I've got absolutely no idea which is which." Maybe some Botox leaked into her brain.

All in all, we had a poor song delivered by a poor singer. He seemed a nice enough chap though.

Graham Norton's commentary entertained me more than the show itself.

I only watch the voting and to listen to Graham's commentary

My nan used to say "if you can whistle it after hearing it for the first time it'll win"

We could send Adele or Queen and we'd still not win, we're not liked, more so since Brexit.

A little word to to the wise, friend. The UK is a founder member of the European Broadcasting Corporation, and one of the largest financial supporters of it. Which means that the UK is always guaranteed an entry. But it is very Political now, Italy has been financially depressed for some time. It has received a huge sum from the pandemic charity fund of several $billion and the contest revives interest both among the population and world trade.

All forgettable apart from the French song.

Graham Norton star of the show he made me laugh.

The song was poor the delivery passionless.

There was a lot of passion to compete with.
