3rd year running

Welcome to Eurovision, the show where the songs don't matter and the points are made up!
That's right, the points are like Russian truces, they just dont mean anything

The live show is available to watch on the official Eurovision Song Contest Youtube channel or Europe wide on national broadcasting channels, and is on at 9pm CEST (8pm , 5am Eastern , Midday-3pm Various )

If you can though, try and watch it on BBC, theres a long standing tradition of Graham (and friends) not giving a fuck and taking the piss all night, well worth a listen!

Anyone but UK! We got a rubbish song (imho) this year

I'm unsure if Ukraine has enough general support to win again. I think they'll do well regardless

 

[FatallyYours]

 

[Stitch]

Eurovision is fucking trash, but I watch it every year because it's absolutely ridiculous.

80s style pop song about edgar allan poe…

Great vocals btw.

There is surely nothing like eurovision

 

[sono]

Switzerland guys voice is good

 

[Liljagare]

Switzerland guys voice is good

Yeah, it's good tune!!

 

[ikbalCO]

[Wildebeest]

The Swiss are blowing the pyrotechnics budget.

 

[FatallyYours]

Switzerland guys voice is good

Yeah, decent singer!

 

[reksveks]

Been a bit slow but the Swiss guy was good.

 

[Wildebeest]

Poland showing off the fact that they still have young people in their country unlike most of Europe.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Finally, some hot chicks.

 

[FatallyYours]

Been a bit slow but the Swiss guy was good.

Portugal had male nipples!

My guilty pleasure. Fuck Duncan Laurence

 

[sono]

Graham: "was it something they ate? I am sure there are people out there loving that"
(about Serbia entry)
lol

 

[SirKicksalot]

Hey at least it was something different.

 

[FatallyYours]

I liked it a lot tbh :/

I wish it went a little more strange and hit a bit harder, seemed a little safe for a strange song. Liked it, was OK, not sure how it'll score though

 

[reksveks]

[Wildebeest]

France easily the best so far.

 

[sono]

[FatallyYours]
