Are You Watching the Eurovision Song Contest

No, I won’t be watching.

Never missed it when I was young, but haven’t tuned in for several years now.

I probably will. I watched both semi finals so it seems o ly right that I watch the final. Mr. MM wants to see it as he doesn't often get the chance.

We will probably watch it to see who votes for who.

No way. Why do we now have two threads asking the same question?

Can't stand it any more, they won't let Zelensky address the audience, even though it's his country who won it last year, as 'it is a song competition, not for politics'
but they allow the obvious political voting.

If they let Zelensky speak who would demand a platform next year? He gets plenty of air time. This is not a political programme.

No I won't be watching it. I've a couple of films recorded, left over from last Saturday, I'll watch them.

No

No

Probably half watch whilst doing something else.
Always good for a laugh and a moan.

No it’s not for me, but I hope those who like Eurovision will enjoy the evening. I will be watching tennis from Rome 🎾🎾🎾🎾

Yes probably to see who votes for who

Not a chance in hell.

I get bored with all the singing but always find it interesting to see who votes for who like HeavenLeigh.

no

Nope - I will not be watching. It has become all about who can have the most outrageous costume or set - the music is the last consideration. And it is often very poor quality music to boot.

It's not for me, but do hope others enjoy it. It is a happy occasion in a troubled world!

No.

No never been interested our friends have gone into town to soak up the atmosphere.

Used to love it as a child but no too much for me now. I get bored.

No. Used to though. Too Euro-popy now, not enough of the weird and bizarre. Good coup for Liverpool though.

Yes

I don't think it finishes until midnight. That rules me out

but they allow the obvious political voting.

The voting is one thing - but allowing Zelensky a platform under the circumstances could cause all sorts of ramifications and fall-out. And even if it didn't, I'm sure it would encourage others to demand similar. Then the whole purpose and dynamics of the contest would be lost.

... not that I have any intentions of watching it. For me it's too formulaic, too 'rehearsed', too theatrical... and I'm bored with hearing the auto-tuned voices which all sound the same.... that initial whispering 'vocal-fry' which then develops into a shrieking crescendo... ugh!

No disrespect to those who are going to watch and enjoy all the razzmatazz and spectacle!
