Lots of negative posts on other thread- as a lover of Eurovision would like to know which top 3 and bottom 3 would GNs vote?

Or have I wasted a thread?🤣🤣

I often wondered why non European countries were invited into Eurovision and also Britains Got Talent ..many people from outside of Britain enter 🙅🏻‍♀️

I have to agree with you nanna8 what's to stop other countries around the world joining? Australia and Israel are not European but then again, it would be an all- night job watching all the contestants hmm

escaped it was the young guy sitting in a boat with the falcetto voice

Congratulations Austria, though I can't really remember them! 🍾 🥂 🥳 🎉 🇦🇹

They should keep it to European countries only. Australia and Israel shouldn’t be contestants.

Bea65 Sun 18-May-25 02:09:47

Yay Austria .. apologies fans.. fell asleep grin

Well done. Still don’t like the song though!In fact, don’t like any of the songs that did well. The voting was very strange.

Best song won, with Israel second. I would not have minded Israel winning either.

I feel sad for poor old Iceland I think there were worse songs

I wish you were all here in this room. The air is blue. I'm sat here quietly doing my puzzle book and DH is watching the voting. He's cursed and moaned all the way through.

MayBee70 Sat 17-May-25 23:25:05

I don’t get this live for the Austrian song.

sassenach512 Sat 17-May-25 23:08:24

I'll be glad to see the last of those cheesy hosts 😏

escaped Sat 17-May-25 23:02:12

Italy or Netherlands for me. Maybe Iceland as a real outsider. Giving up watching now, I'll find out who's won tomorrow.

Albania .. male snger sounds creepy and not really enjoying the female either

They’re singing in different dialects. He is meant to be unnerving as she is singing about longing for a perfect world and he is saying it ain’t never gonna happen.

I think Sweden will win closely followed by Estonia and France. The rest have all blended into one in my head apart from the UK entry. I thought it was ok but will be near the bottom of the results table as usual.

That's, that for this year... Still think Sweden will win.

I can certainly imagine it echoing round the open air discos in Europe this summer.

Can’t believe Austria is tying for favouritism.

I get £25 if they win but I didn’t like it.

Bea65 Sat 17-May-25 22:35:33

In no particular order

Austria
Latvia
Netherlands
Finland

We’ve come a long way since 18 yr old Dana won it in 1970 with “All Kinds of Everything” No warning of flashing images and strobe lights. She just sat on her box and sang the song 😊
