Sweden looking good going into the final, UK entry not so hot sadly.

Weirdly I think Mae Muller’s song peaked too soon. It’s had tonnes of radio play already where as last year Sam Ryder’s was timed to perfection. Israel’s act is cute

 

[chiefdave]

Ours this year isn't bad, its just instantly forgettable

Seems more bat shit crazy entires that normal, particularly in the semis. All for that, nothing worse than all the songs blending into one

Fuck Sweden. Hope they don't win.

 

[skyblue1991]

Yep, got it switched on not gonna lie...

I’ll be glad when this ends. All week it’s been some kind of weird cultish Ukrainian jerk fest

 

[Boosh]

Poland’s was cute

Serbia's entry looks like he should be on a register.

Sweden absolutely overrated as always.

Belgian guy looks like David Gest - Liza Minelli's former husband - dead now of course

Loved Finland's hope ut wins but from the odds looks like a certainty for Sweden and they don't often get it wrong.

Quite liked the French one too but that's a bit of an outsider.

Israel was visually enjoyable.

I just backed Slovenia £5/ew at 500, thought it was pretty catchy, but what do I know?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Jury votes an absolute joke as per usual.

 

[chiefdave]

We're not going to be hosting it next year

 

[skybluetony176]

Pffft. 9 points.

 

[Boosh]

Israel won in my eyes. Well done Mae Muller was a great song. Congrats to Sweden

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The corrupt jury votes win it for Sweden. As per most years, the public vote brings things a bit more into a normal score table after the jury vote favours the same countries. They could enter a clown singing twist and shout and it would win. It's a disgrace of a competition.

I'm old enough to remember when it was about the music!

Good old boom bang a bang, it’s all about the PC brigade now days!!

Not sure how the hell that ended up here, should have been in the death list

Fun fact: Italy's 1974 Eurovison entry "Si" was banned from all state-owned radio and TV stations as it was thought the lyrics might influence the result of a forthcoming referendum.

The English-language version allegedly reached No.8 in the UK singles chart but I have no recollection of it whatever and I used to follow the charts religiously in those days.
