Eurovision

I used to love this when Tery Wogan did it but not now.

Haha we watched both the semi finals !

How I miss Terry Wogan!

When Terry Wogan stopped doing it is probably when I stopped watching. It was worth the marathon session just to hear his comments - way better than the actual contest.

I like this year's entry but owing to political voting I don't think we will win. I loved Terry Wogan, he was a class act. His breakfast radio show was hilarious. I used to sit in traffic on my way to work and know who was listening to his Wake up to Wogan show in nearby cars because I could see them laughing

I really love this year's entry - even better than Sam Ryder's song. We won't do well.

I loved Terry Wogan too, but I want to put in a word for Graham Norton who I think also does it well.
I do hope we win, it's a great song, but I bet we won't, sadly.

You used to love it but can't bear it now. It has become too big and meaningless, except for tourism I suppose...

I think our entry is awful as usual, albeit being very ear wormy. The standard of songs is very good this year, better than I can ever remember it. Really looking forward to Saturday!

I haven’t heard it, as I have no interest in that sort of music, but my sons think it is terrible.

I'm not a fan and haven't watched it for years, but I've just heard the UK's entry on the radio and I actually thought it was quite a catchy little number.

Maybe we'll get somewhere this year!

I really like it, an it really is catchy as well.The three girls can actually sing and look good.We should do well, but who knows?
Sam Ryder came second due to the sympathy vote for the mediocre Ukraine song.
Graham Norton was a good substitute for Terry Wogan.

Graham Norton is good too and we always shed a tear when he says about raising a glass to Terry during song nine

I don't particularly like the song but the girls look nice and normal so probably won't get very far

This years entry is very dull and not standout.

Nice one!

I will definitely be watching and joining in the Eurovision group chat with the rest of the family. We also have a sweepstake which I’ve never won.
It’s all OTT and the songs are mostly dire but it’s just a bit of fun.

I haven’t watched it since 1974 (ABBA) when I left home and didn’t have a television for the first 2 years.
Not my cup of tea.

That's for me. 😂

Love Eurovision and when DD was little kept a score on which songs we liked.. won ticket to see Eurovision live in Bham when the bearded lady won with Rise like a Phoenix .. fun evening!

Love Eurovision, watched it since I was a child. I have suffered ridicule over the years but now it’s cool again and we have a little family Eurovision party. Good times. I think our song is quite good and well performed but we won’t win, I always look up the betting odds and we’re likely to place around 11th.

Love it Maw! I remember watching it with my Mum way back. I think Katie Boyle was the presenter! 😂

I know people that make a lot of money betting on Eurovision and were betting on the two favourites ages ago.I don’t know why so many people knock it. It brings a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. It’s ( imo) joyous.

Never been very keen on it but watched it when Sam Ryder was our representative. I thought that actually ours was the best entry but Ukraine won, I suspect there was an element of sympathy voting, as I thought their entry was dreadful. I guess we all have different tastes in music. I'll either see if I can get one of RosiesMaw's pills, or find something else to watch.

I enjoy listening to the music but I find that all the flashing lights and strobe lighting spoil it for me and I have to switch it off. I wish they could tone it down and concentrate more on the music and the acts.
