[Notters]

Britain fifth favourites! Seems highly unlikely given how unpopular we must now be in Europe... and the song sounds pretty dreadful too. We've had some ok songs in recent years that have done terribly.

I didn't think much of it but I've heard lots of people saying it's our best in years. I guess I'm just not in tune with Eurovision.

 

[martin tyler]

Can't believe I'm out. There is a quid I'll never see again

 

[Frutos]

Just under an hour to the main event.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I'd be surprised if we even get a point after Brexit. Worth a bet?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Wilson Phillips tribute act.

 

[Hillian1]

If Moldova don't win this whole thing tonight something is wrong with the world.

 

[Hillian1]

If Moldova don't win this whole thing tonight something is wrong with the world.

I'll no doubt change my mind later, maybe, but this Hungary song is TERRIBLE.

Nil points.

 

[Meade's Ball]

If Moldova don't win this whole thing tonight something is wrong with the world.

The song was a winner, as was the air-sax, but I would fine them a single point for running man imperfection.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This reminds me why I hated daytime radio 1 in the 70s. Are they all miming apart from the singer(s)? One can only hope for a costume malfunction. Why DO I watch it every year?

The Air Sax was so shit it should be lauded.

 

[Hillian1]

Here we go.

Gorillas in the mist.

 

[KVLT]

If Moldova don't win this whole thing tonight something is wrong with the world.

A world with Trump, North Korea and women dressed in cheese in front of classic cars?

I think we've already got it covered!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Italy to win

 

[whitelion]

In the semi-final the Belgium entry stood out.

 

[Hillian1]

Ell Portugal can **** off.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Excessive shoulder pads. Looks a bit Gru-ish.

 

[Meade's Ball]

The old horse up a ladder routine eh.
