Eurovision

[MissTerious]

How many will watch it?

We have not watched for many years. I must admit I will this year because I love our song,and really have taken a shine to Sam Ryder. He's gorgeous :o) and with a great voice and a clever songwriter.

Kinda sad that Mika is by far the best thing in the whole show...

[Tuvok]

The singing host - go away!

[carolegif]

Can’t believe I knew all the words to Gigliola Cinquetti’s song No Lo L’eta! She is the same age as me and I never forgot her winning in 1964. She still looks good and it was a nice touch.

[ichkeria]

Great to see Gigliola.

[tiggerblue10]

The Germany singer was rapping like Eminem.

[JimF]

She certainly made a happy man feel very old!

I hope that he's read European Directive 89/656/CEE on working at height though. That platform on top of a pole looks rather precarious to me!

;-)

[ichkeria]

Yes! He was great but v influenced by Eminem

[JimF]

Mika was fantastic! Brilliant artist.

[goodgoalie]

Stuck with Later With Jools Holland - much better. Really liked Cat Burns' song 'Go'.

[ichkeria]

UK well ahead :-)

[Cloverjo]

This is amazing! Can we stay on top?

[ichkeria]

“Everyone hates is” being shafted as we watch

[Barmaid]

I'm aghast!! Normally we get nul ponds!!

[Barmaid]

Points. Not ponds.

[Buenchico]

>>> This is amazing! Can we stay on top?

Only a few years back, the song that was out in the lead after the jury votes didn't get a single point from the viewer votes. So anything could happen yet!

[JimF]

I forget who it was who first coined the phrase "nul points" - it's certainly not grammatical French!

[ichkeria]

Just shows: get a great song and a fab performance and juries at least will
respond

[ichkeria]

Nul points for Germany. Maybe the juries didn’t like the Eminem ripoff

[Bazile]

It's not as if any ,winners have gone on to have any success in the music business
