[Music] Eurovision Song Contest 2024 ***Official Thread & Sweepstake**

[jcdenton08]

Croatia was good! First one I’ve enjoyed to be honest

 

[ManOfSussex]

Sorry to whoever drew Ireland, I don’t think you’ll be winning this. Spectacularly shit.

Yes, there's more to Ireland than this.

 

[Frutos]

The German singer looks eerily like my brother.

 

[Swegulls]

Well, Finland…

 

[jcdenton08]

Yes, there's more to Ireland than this.

I think they came live from the Blarney Stone - I’m trying to get an angle on this

 

[Frutos]

This Finnish one is...erm...yep.

 

[jcdenton08]

Terrifying

 

[Bodian]

We have dialled the camp up to about 15 this year.

Very unusual and memorable staging, not sure his vocals were quite there though.

Another year where we won't be troubling the leaderboard.

 

[Frutos]

Great to see Eurovision legend Johnny Logan.

 

[Eeyore]

Great to see Eurovision legend Johnny Logan.

He was due last time, but couldn't make it. He wasn't to worried. What's another year ?

 

[jcdenton08]

Hurry up and give him something so he’ll shut up about it.

Iceland out at the first hurdle. Was a bit of boring song though.
I will be supporting my adoptive home Estonia tomorrow night.
Come on guys!

 

[danielson81]

Go Croatia! - Loud and aggressive and memorable and fun, it blends elements of rock and techno to tell the story of a farm boy saying goodbye to his milking stool and setting out for the big city

 

[Eric the meek]

It gets more bonkers every year.

I won't bet the house on my country in the sweepstake - San Marino. That's proper shit.

My tip - Australia. It taps into the inclusivity message very well, even though the reality in Oz doesn't always live up to the ideal.

I went to Tallinn a few years back. What a great city and people (food was absolutely wonderful too).

There’s no easy way to tell you this…

Hahaha. I've learned several lessons here:

1. Don't miss the results section of the show.
2. My opinion doesn't actually matter.
3. I get why Australia is in the contest, but Azerbaijan? How the F is Azerbaijan ever in Europe?
4. Thank you for your gentle way of letting me know I'm a tosspot.

That song nearly made my ears bleed - an absolute shocker !
