It’s mainly rubbish now it’s true.
Only three songs were any good imo, Italy, Israel and Australia.
All came in the first five, but the Eastern European song was awful.

I’ve always loved it but refused to watch it last night. I did listen to the winning song on utube, though. and it just sounded like a generic version of every Eastern European song there’s ever been but not as good as many of them.

Kandinsky

It was good years ago.
Now it’s just a big LGBT party and verging on soft porn.
Why we keep bothering with it god only knows.

Because it’s fun and people enjoy themselves and what difference does it make that LBGT folk enjoy it too?

I agree though it’s far far away from the original Song for Europe, like everything else in our world it’s evolved into something else entirely, but personally I like to see people party and enjoying themselves though the voting is an utter farce thanks

I am so glad I am not the only one who hates it!

I do not keep bothering with it! It used to be a bit of innocent fun. It is now noisy nonsense each country trying to be more outrageous than the other rather than producing a good song.
Remember Sandy Shaw in here bare feet?

I haven't watched it for years. It used to be entertaining, with some great songs (i.e. Abba) but I don't bother with it now.

For the first time I watched for a few seconds and turned over. I think it was Alabanians singing about their mothers.

I used to be a big fan but would now campaign to finish the whole thing- it has become a parody of itself and is against everything it originally stood for.

It used to be fun but it's too political for me now and countries that aren't in Europe entering?
There has been vote fixing too which makes it totally wrong for me.

Gave up watching years ago It’s a total farce imo and for that farce I had to miss Casualty AND according to the headlines this morning we came last 🤣beaten by both Israel and Australia who aren’t even European, what a load of dogs doodo

I gave up watching it years ago. Too silly and too political just spoiled it for me.

We never watch - it used to be good in the old days with Katy Boyle. Then it was hilarious with Terry Wogan. Now it is just boring and our entries are abysmal.

I do usually watch Eurovision, for the comedic factor, but just couldn’t be bothered last night!

I don’t know any of the songs, not even ours, so will listen to the winner.

LIGHTHEARTED THREAD 😆

That wonderful Bulgarian song won Eurovision last night, (I went to bed before the result), and there's a great word to describe the present chaotic world situation.

Bangaranga!!!!! Meaning commotion or disturbance.

The staging was brilliant, probably not far off a cabinet meeting scenario! Well done Dara! (Wasn't there a Dana who won once too!)

We, the UK, came bottom, with un point ! That just about sums things up!

Bangaranga!!!!
