Anthemic pop with gospel overtones for Sweden - I've a feeling this could do quite well.

Apparently the guy who wrote and performs this also co-wrote the UK entry.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Probably elbow the bass guitarist or something.

Just watched video
A cross between Kate Bush and Hazel O'Connor, supported by the klopeks from the burbs IMO

 

[Questions]

Oh my God...... I’ve got Pinhead from Hellraiser.

[Dave the OAP]

It’s all about CYPR.

 

[Petunia]

Will she have the luck of the Irish I wonder?

[Raleigh Chopper]

Amazing, I have never won anything in my life in any kind draw or raffle and that ain't gonna change any time soon.
Check Republic are noted for being tone deaf FFS.

I have a question

Given its a Sweepstakes - What do I win, and to be honest I got Azerbaijan and by no stretch of the imagination is Azerbaijan in Europe. Not sure if the song that good or not either

That aside - When I win. What do I win ?

Do I have to pay to take part because I don't see how I can win if I haven't paid an entry fee yet. Or is it just ''Bragging Rights'' on NSC ?

As is the case with all NSC sweepstakes, it's purely for fun.

There's no entry fee and no prize other than the "bragging rights" you mention above. [emoji106]

Poland. I haven't clue what it's about but there are firemen and a fire engine in it.

Yep, I'm married to a Check and spend a lot of time there. You have no chance. The music is god damn fecking awful. They have this music channel called Slagr TV and it is always hilarious to watch. Always traditionally dressed and singing bollox in a field.

Even Mrs Mac takes the piss.

I want to win this title desperately. To hold this and the rugby 6 nations prediction title in the same year would be my greatest achievement yet.

You have to watch it for one minute just to see her dress. When it's revealed I burst out laughing. Brilliant

Pretty confident with my entry, the Greeks do love a good jingle.

 

[wunt be druv]

Bloody hell,bloody hell...I have Belgium...apparently the song has a 1% chance of winning!!...actually a bit like supporting Brighton!

 

[The aloof gatekeeper]

These are the bets I've gone with:



Poland and Australia clearly the best songs so that's where most of my money's gone. I don't have the balls to let the bets ride though so I'll cash out way before the end of the contest!

 

[papajaff]

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.

 

[SK1NT]

Yes please :safeway:
