Anybody going to watch the Eurovision Song Contest?

[Cathryn]

I'm purposefully not watching the Semis to better enhance Saturday's magic!! I'm so excited, I can't wait.

When I told the children in my class I was going, they thought I was representing the UK and made me a 'Good Luck' card.

I'm so jealous! I'd love to go to a live Eurovision show. I bet you'll have a blast!

Genuinely...it's a lifelong dream. Not ironically. Genuinely. Secondly only to actually competing. I'm beside myself.

My husband and son went to the European finals (when we lost). This is my cup final. (We are now skint and don't have many kidneys left to sell)

That's awesome. You're clearly embracing the fabulousness with your dress!

I realised this many years ago when I first came across the contest, I also realised it wasn't funny or the least bit interesting, as far as I can see nothing has changed, except maybe the adoption of it by the LGBT community, which is great if that's your thing,
I think it was supposed to be a serious song contest in the early years.

To be fair, yes it is pretty corny and unfunny, I am strangely neutral about it all, but I was just commenting on the people (generally, not necessarily in this thread) who seem to get wound up about it every year, I mean, move on people! 😆

I rarely watch it but I happened to see the one where Conchita Wurst won, and that was peak Eurovision.

 

[Cathryn]

I dunno. Lordi and Hard Rock Hallelujah was pretty peak!

This was the band I heard bits of yesterday, very good!

Lord of the Lost - Blood and Glitter

Rammstein lite , but that's not a bad thing.

Brilliant, you have to question their teachers with such fundamental misunderstandings of life... oh hang on!

Only joking, enjoy! you did amazingly well to get a ticket. We were in Liverpool at the weekend and its in full Eurovison welcome mode. It was a lovely atmosphere.

I'm loving the utterly bonkers but very catchy Austrian tribute to Edgar Allan Poe.

I just watched the Semi tonight, so I don't need to see it again 😆

Me too. Thought it was best of tonight's bunch. Very catchy.

Just heard the Norway song and it’s a banger! Has proper pirate vibes! Douze points de moi
