[Molango's visa]

Hasn't the ghastliness finished yet?

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

 

[Bozza]

Village People 2.

 

[Igzilla]

I have a feeling my life has just diminished ever slightly by witnessing the Croatian offering. I probably need to go and wash my brain out with soap.

 

[beorhthelm]

Croatia is pretty gash... but i have a horrible feeling it will do well.

a lot of fairly ordinary pop or 80's styles being reprised this year.

 

[papachris]

Croatia OMG!

 

[Elbow750]

Has someone slipped something in my Harveys What the F is that from Croatia!!!!

 

[Molango's visa]

I had to freeze for a phone call from Mrs MV. Croatia should have entered Nipple People.

 

[Elbow750]

I could not in my wildest dreams or nightmares have made that up.....

 

[A1X]

FWIW I heard the UK entry weeks ago and it’s been an earworm

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Croatia, that was something special. Totally OTT. That is what we want, not dreary ballads.

 

[Molango's visa]

England a bit dull.

 

[Igzilla]

England a bit dull.

Sounds better on the radio

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

UKs entry is pretty awful.

 

[A1X]

I could not in my wildest dreams or nightmares have made that up.....

You don’t come up with that Croatian entry if you’re sober and clean

 

[papachris]

UK effort really disappointing. Weak entry. Poor singer. Expect it to be somewhere near the relegation places

 

[Randy McNob]

FWIW I heard the UK entry weeks ago and it’s been an earworm

s'alright, will score points but the standard is very high, can't see it troubling the top 5

 

[papachris]

s'alright, will score points but the standard is very high, can't see it troubling the top 5

Or the top 15 I think!

 

[Igzilla]

Out of all that, I liked Switzerland and Estonia, but they'll never win

 

[Deadly Danson]

FWIW my clear favourite was Finland. Poland and Norway also good. Sweden will probably win though.

 

[Bozza]

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.
