[Music] Eurovision Song Contest 2019 - The Official Thread & Sweepstake

[Frutos]

Dear Lord, this Montenegro song is awful - worse pitches than the Scottish Third Division.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Christ on a bike. Just listened to the UK entry. So feckin boring. Why is it we produce fantastic music but when it comes to Eurovision, we churn out such piles of poo?

All been rubbish since Save Your Kisses for Me.

It is, isn't it, truly awful, again.
I was thinking the same as you as well.
Why can't we enter with a brilliant pop song like Stuff Like That by Bananarama, apart from the fact that we are detested throughout Europe we would walk it.

 

[Frutos]

This Polish effort is appalling, they seem to be actively avoid the tune at all costs.

 

[Frutos]

What the hell was that? #Australia

You must have your head in your hands.
I stand a better chance of dancing with my 14 year old daughter than that going through.
Nice plastic beard though.

I assume it was terrible. Doesn't that usually mean it's got a good chance?

 

[Frutos]

Well, this semi final has been well up to the usual standards.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

The whole thing is gloriously shit.

 

[papajaff]

Australia was laughable. And then Iceland? What the **** did I watch?

Absolutely this is gloriously shit.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

No it wasn't terrible.
It was far worse than that.
You are right, expect it to go through.
I missed the Cheque Republic entry.

 

[vegster]

Just seen the last 5-6 acts, they are all mad ! Forget X -Factor this is WTF Factor.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Apparently only the best songs go through.

Just seen the snippet, it's bad but one of the best, I think I'm going through.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I think Portugal have been on the Super Bock

 

[vegster]

The entire population of San Marino have turned up in Israel tonight it seems.

 

[Taybha]

Cor ! this one's a keeper .

I'm actually watching in the Cheque Republic. They couldn't give a shit about Eurovision. Weirdos

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Australia was utter rubbish.
But seems everyone's favourite to not only go through but to win the whole thing.
What I like about this is, do you remember when anything European was a bit strange, quirky and odd.
This is like watching something European in the 1970's.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I'm through!
