I like the Eurovision Song Contest so there thread

[Uncle Spielberg]

The question is to admit you like the Eurovision song contest or not. Is it shameful or sad ?.

Blue singing for the UK and Jedward singing for Ireland what could POSSIBLY go wrong ?.

Whats the verdict ?.

I used to vaguely watch the songs and enjoy Wogan's comments at the politics and loved the votes in the days of Cyprus and Greece always giving each other max points. Once Wogan left and since the Eastern Bloc countries took it over and turned it into a complete shitfest I'm afraid I've totally lost interest

I love Eurovision!!!

 

[Easy 10]

Hmmm...if I'm stuck in front of the gogglebox on a Saturday evening, I think I'd prefer to use that time watching some quality filmage than spend hours in front of this, although I appreciate it can be unintentionally hilarious at times.

When you add together the comedy value and the level of hotties from eastern-Europe that appear... you've definitely got some top TV viewing.

Though even I won't go so far as to watch the semi-finals...

Eurovision is a great betting event. Sod the Grand National. This is the real deal.

7 of the last 8 winners were solo acts. Bands don't win (a bit like X Factor)
A late draw is best.

If only that bloke from Finland wasn't drawn 1, I'd be advising GET ON LARGE.
I've laid Jedward on betfair not to get through the qualifer tonight at 1.22.

I love the Eurovision! Don't think it quite qualifies for the cool bastards tag though!

I backed Turkey before the semi's as they usually have some hot euro tot prancing round the stage.

Imagine my horror when I noticed it was an ALL MALE Prog ROCK group. NO NO NO. No wonder they didn't qualify on Tuesday. Thankfully I laid off just in time.

Take note Turkey. Get the FIT birds on stage next year.

That ruddy song is still on the ruddy radio every ruddy day here...

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Every year I swear I won't watch it but always end up doing so ..... right to the bitter end. I also thought Norton would ruin it when Wogan left but I actually quite enjoy his commentary ( along with his BBC2 radio show on Saturday morning but that probably has more to do with me being a sad middle aged git ).

 

[Simster]

Absolute shit. Won't be watching.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Never bother with the semis but love the final..... great excuse for a party!!

Everyone in TUrkey hated their song! As for totty... cant remember a beautiful turkish singer entering. The sexy ones cant sing.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Eurovision is one of my annual TV highlights. Its the best and if you knew me, I would be the last bloke on earth that you would suspect being a fan. It beats 99% of all other TV programs in the year and that includes the Celebrity Come Dine My Big Fat Jungle Wife Swap.

 

[Kazenga <3]

Eurovision is utter shite, but needs to be seen.

 

[Bwian]

It's so bent it's as if FIFA are the behind the scenes organisers

 

[Safeway]

I love it SO much I'm going to the official Eurovision Song Contest PARTY in Hamburg on Saturday night. The Jedward masks have been printed off and the mini Union Jacks are ready to be waved.

 

[Durlston]

Might have a fiver each-way on Denmark (20/1) as I'm in on Saturday night. What a load of old wank though.

 

[Frutos]

Never used to like it, but have got more into it in recent years.

Harmless and good for a laugh, just not to be taken too seriously.
