Eurovision

I watched bits of it last night and caught Ollie Alexander’s performance.

Id love to know what Terry Wogan would have made of it. 🤔😂

I loathe Eurovision in particular because of all its vile political voting.
Should have been scrapped years ago.

Yes.
Nul points for guessing that Israel won't be winning this year.

As for the UK entry, I must go and listen to Ollie.

I meant to add, If you’re going to upset the pearl clutchers and have disgusted of Tunbridge Wells grabbing her pen and paper, you’ve got to be worthy.

It was dismal!

Oh no.

Well, I'll support him whatever 🙃

Having viewed our entry I too think it’s time to scrap it. I hear it’s not the only daft/attention seeking/words fail me, entry again.

I’ve just watched the UK entry, oh dear what a mess.

His codpiece should have had its own mic it was that large

I last watched this many years ago when my children insisted on having it on. They hated it. I’d rather eat toothpaste.

I love it!

You do have to wade through some peculiar songs to get some good ones. France 1991 was good and I still listen to it now.

Sex seems to have really intruded this year though and will no doubt continue to ruin the music.

As for Ireland’s entry it wasn’t music it was screeching.

Still no one gets hurt by watching it, and if you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

I gave it a miss this year - who won?

I don’t think it’s happened yet Crazyhorse 🙃

I thought it was just me who turned it off as I have no desire to watch pornography. Seems most Gransnetters thought the same.

Just watched our song on YouTube it’s pretty awful isn’t it? who is the little guy singing upside down, sideways, leg spreading, bumping his bits around yuk yuk yuk
I am about as far from prudish as can be and I thought it was horrible

Bring back Sam Ryder

Speechless after watching Ollys soft porn display, and the vocals were crap also1🥴

I’d rather stick pins in my eyes.

It seems it’s a no from us then

There has been a bit of a backlash on social media from Eurovision fans who do not seem to like the satantic porn acts. Thank goodness some of them have sense.

On the whole people just go with the flow like sheep.🐑 If it's supposed to be good or deemed to be cool then they say they like it. Someone has to be brave enough to say no, this is not cool, it's disgusting. 🤮

In case anyone hasn't seen it.

The first minute was more than enough for me! Grim! If that’s the best that we can offer… How sickening for performers who have real talent to see this lot get through.

Im not a big TV fan at the best of times but I will find work to do on the computer and later something on Disney to stream. I am in the final series of Revenge.

It’s shameful that this act represents the UK.
The song itself is nothing great, but the singer could have simply been on stage by himself singing it.Yuk.

I don't know how to articulate this really but when I was a child and I first encountered "a song for Europe", I thought each song would be something inspiring about, or at least relevant to, the respective artists' country. I was rather disappointed to see that it was just ordinary pop songs with no significance to anything.

I love it!

I don't.

I think you re in a BIG minority in loving it whethertomorrow
You like porn on the TV for our kids to watch then do you ?
You think this chap is a good role model for our youngsters ?
You think this is what we want to be known for in the world ?
Nul points I do believe

Well I love Ollie Alexander, he is a good actor and l have seen him singing other things and he really has talent. Whethertommorow you might be in a minority here but other people love it, and the news channels are saying the British act is very popular, although it probably won't be with the judges due to political voting.
I think there are other things to be concerned about other than Ollie, like the big Police presence, and security, because Israel has a entrant and there is talk of demonstrations.
I would also not be worried about my Grandchildren who are 19, 11 and 5. The eldest will be out, the middle one is not interested and the youngest will be where she should be, in bed.
Things have moved on since the first Eurovision when somebody sang sing littke birdie.

Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnston. Those were the days! 😂🥳
