Eurovision

Caterina Irene Elena Maria Boyle, Lady Saunders (née Imperiali dei Principi di Francavilla; 29 May 1926 – 20 March 2018), usually known as Katie Boyle, was an Italian-born British actress, writer, radio announcer, television personality and game-show panellist. She became best known for presenting the Eurovision Song Contest on a record four occasions: in 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1974; the first three in London and the last in Brighton, England.

Golan’s security has been so perilous that Ronen Bar, the head of Shin Bet, Israel’s security service, personally flew to Malmo to oversee her security, and all 20 of the Israeli delegation were instructed to stay in their hotel rooms under round-the-clock security.

“It’s incredible that in the middle of a war, Shin Bet’s head felt the need to go to Malmo because of the safety fears,” a source told The Telegraph.

Indeed.

Olly Alecxnder should be withdrawn. He as no respect for our flag, therefore he has no respect for the country.

As for the whole caboodle, it's time we withdrew. It's something like 27 years since we last won and who knows how long since we came close. Yet another waste of our licence money

I used to watch it years ago.
It's gone downhill over the years and political with the voting.
It's about time it was scrapped.

EEjit U.K. came second in 2022 with Sam Ryder singing Spaceman he was beaten by Ukraine.

I left with Katie Boyle and never went back

He'll have nil point. I hope.

We would have won Eejit a couple of years ago, with Sam Ryder he was only beaten because of a sympathy vote for Ukraine

I m not watching what has our chap done to the Union Jack ?

What a lovely performances by Israel and Ukraine.

I'm watching it now.
I've certainly seen much worse than this year's offerings.

Yes me too.

I only heard the songs in the semis ( I usually listen on utube beforehand) and must say I’m liking some of them a lot more on second hearing. Really enjoying it!

I actually think the acts have been pretty normal so far.

I've got the words up on my screen.
Some of the songs are strange

I enjoyed Ireland performance. It was different and I love that sort of dark stage act.

I don't know who it was, towards the beginning.
There was a big girl rapping, while another sang.
I liked that

I don't like our offering.

It reminds me of Frankie Goes To Hollywood- Relax.
But much worse

Ah, thank you.

Not my cup of tea either! I guess there will be many who enjoyed it though.

Well done Ollie, brilliant performance, popular and different.

Oh dear. I hadn't seen any before. I'm glad we can't vote for the UK because I would not have.
Nothing left to the imagination and just a horrible noise.
Is Ireland the best?

I’ve just watched the uk version of Eurovision and I am absolutely disgusted. I am no prude by a long shot but I draw the line at the overt sexuality displayed in this so called act.

There will be children watching this show and that actually frightens me.

I liked Italy. She's got a good voice, really fast song. And she used the stage well, not boxed in like some.
