Eurovision

[Yellow Fang]

Wow, what did you think of the Azerbaijan entry. They're really entering the spirit of it.

 

[Baggy]

So memorable I've forgotten which their entry was!
Russian Grannies are a shoo-in I reckon.

lets all vote greece and really screw the euro

It's an absolute scandal that considering how many talented musicians, bands and singers in the UK we have struggling for a break that our Eurovision entry is Englebert Humperdink. The whole thing is a sick political joke. I know a band called Kyrbgrinder who would win that and become stars. Our entry is a mockery of music. He is a star but he's had his time. They should have chosen a young band, musician or singer. I am sure I'm not wrong. Feel free to argue. I just consider it a great shame that given the wealth of young talent in this country that our entry is a 70 plus crooner who had his day in the limelight long ago. Also imo the song is crap and he doesn't sing it particularly well either. But nil point is at least a recognition. For this effort we don't deserve anything more.

The Russian entry is too cynical and too ironic to win.

I liked the Albainian entry, the Italian entry and the Moldovan entry the best. I tried voting for the Italian entry, but I voted for Estonia instead, which I didn't like, but at least it wasn't the worst (which was Jedward).

I am well impressed by the effort Azerbaijan made. I want to go there.

Hmmm, Baku looks like a nice place. I bet the food is good. I wonder what the shwarma is like?

 

[mmmmartin]

I want to go there.

This is a country that routinely murders its own people. Torture is part of life. The place is run by a criminal gang. If you should go there, no doubt the ordinary people will be lovely. And no doubt you will come back thinking the government is a bunch of criminal, thieving, murdering bastards. As you might find by reading some of the better UK papers this week.

 

[Globalti]

Hmmm, maybe I'll go to Nigeria instead then.....

 

[Archie_tect]

No one seemed to mention Sweden til they won... awful song. Ah well, just shows how much I know.

 

[Noodley]

Very crap. Russian entry was the best by miles, the rest was shite.

 

[on the road]

It doesn't matter who we have sing for us we'll always come last or near to last, no one likes us.

I don't know why the UK just doesn't pull out of the Eurovision all together, it's meaningless to us. It's far too political now.

 

[Belly]

Graham Norton? In Baku? I hope he gets out without getting locked up or worse...

 

[Fab Foodie]

Very crap. Russian entry was the best by miles, the rest was shite.

I agree with the 'Crap' statement, dullest EV for donkeys. Greece and Denmark the only notables for me ... best of a bad bunch.

 

[PBancroft]

I still don't know why we don't use genuine (modern) talent on this show. The winner of The Voice, for example, or a popular band which has done well the previous year.

 

[lukesdad]

Englebert McNoodley for next year, now.......... who's gonna write him a song ?
