Making Your Mind Up shambles

[craigiep]

If ever a TV phone vote looked dodgy, surely this one did. Justin Hawkins wasn't happy to be voted off, but probably cos he realised that his cred - like that of Brian Harvey and Liz McClarnon - was suddenly in complete tatters. I couldn't see any of these songs getting decent votes at Eurovision. People say Wogan makes Eurovision; I think he undermines any chance we ever have cos he takes the mick too much. Also, his vanity is so cringey and his jokes so tired. Fearne Cotton seemed to be sweating profusely. Barrowman and Giedroyc were a bizarre panel. Anyone see anything good in this programme or choice?

Well,that was a real shambles at the end!! Tel announces the wrong one..Doh!!

And I cannot believe the wally Wogan called out the wrong winner. Do us all a favour and stand down now, Tel, please.

Another "null points" in the offing!

Brian Harvey looked rough though didn`t he?

The close ups made him look 60

Wogan has got to go. At least Brian Harvey shook hands and wished the best to all, McClarnon just walked of with Hawkins and Co and could'nt understand why !! lol. I think we could be in the running for a Eurovision Win this year. On the count of three... Yes No ha ha.

if a young presenter had made the mistake Wogan did tonight, I doubt they'd have ever worked again. Let's see the Beeb getting tough with Tel

Let's have a reality check here...

Eurovision isn't taken seriously anymore. In the UK it's become a "gay" festival, taking over from the Sound of Music as an excuse for outrageous camp parties and lots of singalong and shouting at the television. I think it's great (not my scene but I have no problem with the "takeover"). The "winning" entry is aimed at, and scores with, this sector of the viewing public, so 10 out of 10 to the Beeb for realising that.

Wogan is now old, past his prime and should retire. Make the evening completely camp and get someone like Graham Norton (obnoxious, untalented, fawning and easily disliked) to present it.


By keeping up the pretence that the mainstream public gives a toss about the outcome, the BBC is making itself look stupid. They should go over-the-top and have fun, turning it into a fluffy pink kitch-fest. It's all decided, in the end, by a load of East-European wastelands anyway!

The final sing-off was between a cheesy camp pop act dressed as cabin crew and a big-haired diva singing an overwrought ballad. Eurovision big with the gay community, you say? ;-)

Wogan made me laugh (unintentionally) when he said of that song by Cindy - "I haven't heard a ballad like that in years". Not heard Wind Beneath My Wings, You Raise Me Up or any French Eurovision entry for most of the last 10 years then, Tel?

Watched it last night and couldn't decide who should get through because I thought they were all rubbish!
What was the French girl doing there? Do we really not have any talent from our own country, well obviously not! I never watch Eurovision myself but for those who do, have we not moved on from Bucks Fizz and Brotherhood of Man?
The one that won is so forgettable I can't remember what it was called or how it goes and Scooch!! Seriously Crap Over Optimistic Camp Horribilis.They would look more at home on Hi De Hi and Are you being served.
