Eurovision

[Samuraisan]

Anybody going to watch it ? I can't resist.

[Eleena]

I'm sat next to my granddaughter, she's keeping a score, she's just awarded Slovenia 5000 points ;0)

In all honesty, JimF, only Celine Dion and maybe Sandie Shaw had careers that could be compared to Abba’s.

I remember Sandie Shaw auditioning - she had four or five proposed songs and sang one each week on the Rolf Harris TV show. The audience voted for Puppet on a String so that’s the one she went with.

[ichkeria]

Slovenia were marvellous. You need something about you to be that self consciously creepy.

[JimF]

The assertion was, however, that ABBA are the only winners to have gone on to a sustained successful career, which is patent nonsense.

[JimF]

I'm informed that the guy representing Netherlands is seriously fit...

A friend and I decided that we were going to have a mini break in May and Tel Aviv seemed a good idea. Then we found about Eurovision so we went to Sorrento instead. A wise choice.

[LadyCG]

Israel, you've knocked spots off everyone so far.

#goosebumps

[237SJ]

I think all of the music is dire. The UK produced the Beatles, Stones, Coldplay, Kinks, Small Faces and a million other really good bands. We don't need to pit ourselves against crappy Europop and thier political voting.

[JimF]

I wonder what Jahn Teigen made of Norway's song?

[ichkeria]

Slovenia, Denmark, Malta my top three so far.

:-)

[ichkeria]

Oh yes Iceland next !

[woofgang]

well i am torn between two answers for this question....
1. No
2. Hell no!

[thesshhh]

Denmark will win. The U.K. will be last. Who the heck wanted that awful song to represent us?

[JimF]

I agree the UK song was awful. Iceland were great - totally non-Eurovision, though.

[ichkeria]

I actually thought the UK bloke was pretty good. Not a winner tho

[gness]

Much as I love Norton I'm miffed that he suggested putting granny in the hall when Iceland came on....I had to fight off two grandchildren so I could stay in the sitting room...... ;-)

[ichkeria]

Lol

[elliemay1]

Jim, the Estonian guy is seriously fit too!

[JimF]

I'll bow to your superior knowledge of the subject matter on that that, Ellie :-)

[bobbie22]

Agreed elliemay. I liked Sweden best so far. Our lad sang very well, I thought
