Eurovision 2019 🎤💃

EmilieT — Mon, 13 May 2019 14:08:01 GMT

Hey guys,

I hadn't realised that the Eurovision was just around the corner!

The 64th Eurovision Song Contest will take place at the Expo Tel Aviv (International Convention Center), with the first semi-final tomorrow, followed by the second semi-final on Thursday and the grand final on Saturday.

Are you looking forward to it? Do you have any fun yearly tradition around the show? What are your favourite performances and highlights from the previous years?

I used to stay up and watch it with some friends, but in recent years I have followed the highlights from various articles and social media posts instead. If some of you watch the show live this year, I'll definitely follow it through your comments

To be honest @EmilieT I stopped watching years ago. It's now nothing more than a political back slapping contest.

No-one votes for us and after this current Brexit fiasco, I can see we will probably get Null Points !!

Yeah, it will be a miracle if we get any votes this year !

Ireland will give us 5 points. ....

No one else will. I'm ashamed of this country and their political standings in the rest of the world. 🎵Take me home country roads 🎵

My yearly tradition is not turning the telly on during the show's airing, or watching a video of paint drying.

Meh!

Last time I liked a winning act was probably Alexander Rybak's Fairytale, 10 years ago, despite living on the island that's won it the most times ever to-date!

So just to conclude this thread. The UK came last with just 16 points. Pathetic. (As was our entry)

The Netherlands won

The sooner we drop out of this farce of a competition the better!

Consider it practice for all the rejection letters the UK will get trying to negotiate trade deals off WTO tariffs...

Yes, yes, we're not meant to draw parallels, I know

Rumour has it that Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are going to perform as a duet at Eurovision 2020 if Brexit isnt passed by then

I doubt it will be Theresa May. She has said she will resign in June or July. So it will probably be another idiot. Please god it's NOT Boris Johnson

An idiot and, allegedly, a liar to boot.

They've been pushing and jostling things along from the get-go, I think, @jonsie.

How is it that our European neighbours have always been influenced by British music, and yet we seem to have forgotten how to write a decent song?

Perhaps we should rerun that vote?

I'm surprised we got 16 to be honest....
