Support NeoGAF

[Deft Beck]

I've followed Eurovision for years and last year was one of my favorite years in a while. I think that Italy will win this year if the jury/public vote doesn't lean towards Ukraine (for obvious reasons).



Meanwhile ASC is struggling in ratings but there's some very talented performers. And Sisqo, lol

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Spoiler: ...

I really don't like it all that much but from time to time there are decent songs in the contest.

 

[AJUMP23]

SIsqo

No I am not watching any of these.

 

[Spaceman292]

fuck no

Buddy this is neogaf! So you need to explain in terms most people would understand, Eurovision is like a version of E3 with lot of gringe/ funny moments, sometimes good surprises
Oh and UK is like EA, nobody gives a shit about them and don’t expect much from them lol
Also for reasons unknown for a show called Eurovision we have Austrália competing lol

i dunno if I’ll watch it! Every time I do, Portugal doesn’t even go to the finals

We know what Eurovision is, but we also know it peaked when ABBA won.

Stopped watching after 2015 when Maraaya didn't win.





Fuck Eurovision, it stopped being fun.

 

[jorgejjvr]

How can I watch, and when is it

Depends, there’s still some good songs that come out of it, rarely but now it’s pure fun for memes!

 

[Umbasaborne]

Love eurovision, its the most european of visions, complete with strange humor, odd reactions, and questionable musicc

Eurovision is the dumbest thing on the planet. It might be worse than wrestling. Here's a selection of dogshit music from every country and one surprisingly good one which wins! Also nobody votes for the UK because politics (understandable).

I wish I could enjoy it for its absurdity but it's just awful on every level.

 

[sircaw]

This got my vote last time

You can watch the individual songs on Youtube for now but (for Americans) the actual show is watchable on Peacock on May 10th, 12th and 14th (two semifinals and a grand final).

 

[FunkMiller]

Ah yes. The eurovision song contest, featuring that well known European country Australia.

Also the contest where the UK always get nil points, despite being the greatest country in the world for modern music

 

[kurisu_1974]

I'm guessing Ukraine will win, but tbh I voted for them last year, I usually watch the show ironically while smoking weed and talking shit but this was genuinly great



I'll watch the US version, might be good for a laugh too.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Electric Callboy should be there.


Them getting snubbed killed my interest.

I know you're posting half in jest, but every country that's a member of the European Broadcasting Company (and paid their fees) can compete. We also have Israel, which is the reason Tunesia didn't participate in 1977, Qatar wants to join for some reason too. Morocco competed in 1980, and remains the only Arabic country to ever have participated.

Also UK has amazing music, but the shit they send to Eurovision is not great.

The UK hasn't performed well in decades. They select their song via committee and it seems many UK musicians don't see it as good for their careers.

 

[KyoZz]

I really like listening to good music.
So no, I wont watch this shit.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

The problem with Ukraine winning is that they would technically host it next year, which may or may not be a problem given the current situation.

Incredibly sexist but accurate when it comes to the beauty of Eastern European women.

 

[Soltype]

Been watching the older contest over the last few years, I stopped after the music started getting too bad for me to handle.

Gina G/UK were definitely robbed in '96.

UK offered to host it if that was the case.

 

[Deft Beck]

Oklahoma won the American Song Contest! AleXa wasn't my favorite, but it's an acceptable win.

Semifinal 2 of the ESC is today, and the final is on Saturday.

 

[RoadHazard]

Sweden's song is clearly the best.

(Yes, I'm Swedish. And yes, the competition is a mountain of garbage. But still.)
