Come on. You can't just cancel Eurovision.

The big gay-in has been cancelled but the 40-odd nations have already chosen their champions and you can find their videos on yt.

I've had this out with the gf.

Sorry @classic33 but Eurovision is bigger than that.

Here's the UK entry - better than many previous entries of late the song appears to be about a bloke communing with his inner wolf (or Red Setter, in this case).

Switzerland are going to be disappointed. They normally enter a French-language song every 32 years and win.

Null points cette annee.

This having been the 65th time it would have been run, would you say they'd have won?

I miss this every year due to the urgent need to wash my hair.

I suppose on the basis that it still attracted 7 million viewers in the UK last year it would be a miss for a good few people - although I wonder what the age demographics are for those viewers? My guess is 'older'.

Being at the somewhat 'older' end of the age spectrum (63) myself I am aghast at what some of my friends listen to although there is no accounting for musical tastes and each to their own etc - I can imagine that some of them would tune in to watch the show.

I haven't watched it for some decades now so my view that it is a tired old show that reeks of Euro-nostalgia and is a fop to the relatively 'behind the times' Euro music scene (UK excluded) may be just a load of biased old twaddle.

Well Ireland have held it in a cow shed and a warehouse. They also managed to convert the interlude act into a show that was over two hours long.

They'll be repeating it at some point. All is not lost, unless you wanted to miss it.
