[beorhthelm]

strong feeling for Finland. energy, poppy, bit mad, catchy.

 

[Chicken Run]

If you don't like it you could always f*** off. like.

Apparently the entire Albanian ensemble have ‘f***ed off’ …..

 

[Solid at the back]

Who are the two birds inbetween Dixon and Norton?

Lithuania were the best.

 

[Randy McNob]

what price a scandinavia clean sweep?

Sweden remain odds on favourite but second favourite Finland have shortened up a bit now at around 3/1.

Israel have displaced Ukraine as third favourite but the real market mover is Italy which has shortened massively.

UK drifted out to 300/1 from 150/1 before the performance.

The Italian guy had a great voice! Love his vest as well

 

[Frutos]

My Top 5:

1) Sweden
2) Italy
3) Belgium
4) Switzerland
5) Norway

Sweden for me. Followed by Australia and Finland.

Thought the songs were particularly poor this year actually, as someone who watches every year I thought this year was particularly bad.

Did anyone notice that so many women looked the same? Brunette, big lips, fake lashes, normal body size (not stick thin)?

 

[Triggaaar]

Ours was shit - weak vocals

 

[Triggaaar]

Ukraine disappointing.

More USA than Ukraine

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Finland
Australia
Belgium
Ukraine
Norway

 

[Triggaaar]

They had all the sympathy last year. Tbh I find it quite patronising, thousands of people died, towns and cities obliterated....but you did win Eurovision........so.......every cloud.....

No, it wasn't like that - it was simply people saying 'we support you and what you fight for'

 

[Frutos]

Roger Taylor on the drums for Sam Ryder.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Croatia, Finland and Germany for me

[Triggaaar]

FWIW my clear favourite was Finland. Poland and Norway also good.

Good choices.

Sweden will probably win though.

Crap.

 

[Bozza]

Given the respective odds, Finland look the value option from a betting perspective.

I do like the Sweden entry though and it’s not going to be far away.

 

[A1X]

Sam Ryder really was robbed last year, sure the Ukraine thing but he’s a legit Eurovision star now

 

[Triggaaar]

I do like the Sweden entry though and it’s not going to be far away.

So is it just me that thinks countries shouldn't be entering their biggest stars?

Agreed, otherwise we should just bung Sheeran in and clean up
