Their Waterloo?

Oh, hang on...

They're shorter than 1/2 on the betting exchanges .... I can't wait to hear it, it must be amazing.

Gone large on Poland @150-1 I doubt I'll ever see that £1 e/w again but I thought it was pretty decent.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Yay, Estonia in the final. It’s quite a good song, imo.m

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Maybe Im just getting old & grumpy - but this years entries really haven't done much for me at all....very poor on the whole I think.
I usually really enjoy Eurovision, but Im not sure I will bother with this years final.

 

[Official Old Man]

Morning. Being a 'Big Club' (I'm France), I've not bothered with all these minor play off competitions. It's like the Europa Conference I guess, no one really cares unless you're in it. Now it's time for the real contest to begin.

I jest. Watched every minute so far. Some banging tunes but where are the last verse key changes? Have Take That/Simon Cowel put a copyright on them?

Funny you should say that, this was published yesterday on the official Eurovision site:

The big key-change change

There's a noticeable absence at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest - the key change! We investigate the sharp decline of the popular song-composition element in recent years, and reminisce about some of the best examples from Contests past.

I for one am positively salivating at the veritable Smörgåsbord of diverse musical talent on show tomorrow night.

The entire nation and our European cousins will be feasting on the finest musical talent the continent (and Australia) has to offer.

We here at jcdenton08 towers are deeply envious of those lucky, blessed ticket holders who will be soaking up Liverpool’s beautiful city and atmosphere this weekend.

You are Richard Anthony Crispian Francis Prew Hope-Weston (Tommy Vance) and I claim my postal order for five shillings

I was doing my Crodonilson, I think it’s rather good.

Oh, and I thought they drove the car on stage!
Meanwhile, bye bye Portugal & Belgium. No one has ever won from 2nd or 16th position in the running order. Indeed it is thought 2nd is cursed as it has gained 'nul points' three times and last 9 times.

 

[HangletonGull]

Come on Finland

 

[jcdenton08]

Thoughts and Pragues for everyone else’s chances, Czechia positions at the end. WE’VE GOT THIS

 

[Durlston]

I watched Denmark first (which was terrible) and as Romania were my nation and up third, I saw it.........wow! Absolutely dreadful and I can see why now Betfred made them 200/1 to win Eurovision.

Sweden made 1/2 favourites. They're usually bang-on with the odds in this TV show.

 

[papachris]

Come on Alika!

 

[jcdenton08]

So excited
