Eurovision 2022

[madbadger]

Just catching up on Tuesday. Moldova are great!
Interested to see who comes second to Ukraine. Can’t see it being U.K. surprised people think our song is ok? I thought it was utter ste and misses the Eurovision ‘mark’ by a mile.

[madbadger]

Ok. Norway my favourite now.

Who else thinks the UK will score nul points again ?

Has anyone ever scored 0 on two consecutive occasions ?

Some ( even by eurovision standards) bizarre acts in tonight’s semi final.

Just clicked on to the semi final. The Cyprus girl was excruciatingly painfully bad.

Ireland was pretty terrible too. In addition, her Wonderwoman pants were not doing anything for her at all!

Romania were funny. Finland were quite good at the number one spot.

Disco sombrero is cool.

Crucified some classics here. The woman has a decent voice but ruined by the bloke.

Tonight's semi final summed up the madness of Eurovision. I mean, the Serbia entry........a singer sitting there washing her hands over and over. As you say, WTAF? Meanwhile the very lively Georgian entry doesn't get through, despite a lyric which sounded just like "fk me sideways". I think it was actually "Lock me sideways", whatever that means.

Poland's entry might do well; the guy has a fantastic voice, and whilst I hated it, my son (who's a big Eurovision fan, like me) loved the Belgium effort.

Oh, and what the hell is going on with Australia's song? Genuinely weird.

[sparkythecat]

Can’t believe that Malta didn’t make the cut.
Attractive, energetic girl in a sparkly dress, singing a catchy tune. What’s not to like.

Remember , the winning nation hosts it next year.

Who wants that in this economy or climate.

“And the winning is Ukraine. We will see you all next year from an underground bunker”

Eurovision is also the accepted forum for international hatred and buttering up.

I’m sure some high votes will come out of Ukraine for countries are and donating a lot of heavy weaponry.

Brexit though will have the EU citizens vote of disapproval.

Can’t wait to see the judging all unfold.

IMO.

The sooner we pull out if this abomination the better. The annual humiliation is a joke. No one other than Cyprus votes for us.

We could put Adele up and we'd get 'nul points'.

As for the rest, they're either an abysmal attempt at euro-pop, "Let's do this together with peace and love everyone" bks, or a lachrymose wail about a love-lorn Hungarian milk maid who yearns for the caress of her goat herd lover who has been lost high up on the mountain.

Awful business.

Ukraine will win.

This is why I watch it! Personally, I don't like to watch any of the lead up shows or music clips, I want 3 hours of silliness with each song and oddity being presented fresh for my viewing pleasure.

Bring on the out of tune, badly choreographed, dodgy English lyrics of our European (and Antipodean) neighbours! A takeaway curry, some beers and a good laugh at the Moldovian entry (other countries available) whilst watching the UK entry hover near the bottom - this is what I want!

Ukraine is a huge favourite to win this year. For some reason the UK is sitting as second favourite at 17/2.

Seeing as the competition is 100% political and not about music. I expect UK will end up bottom (or very near to the bottom) and Ukraine most likely will walk it. Might put a few bets on those outcomes.

[ajprice]

Haven't heard any songs yet other than the UK entry which is everywhere. Just caught up on who's in

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-6142...

I remember The Rasmus from the In The Shadows song, and it's hard to forget a guy with feathers in his hair...



I'll stock up on alcohol and nibbles for tomorrow night, I've already got a pack of Guinness cold brew coffee beer to try out.

Germany should be last this year, UK should do very well if it's politics at play for many of these voters.
Then again, i never understood why the UK got kicked in the nads so often, without us they would all be speaking German or never born. Short memory these millennials.
