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

[Pevenseagull]

Hoorah!

 

[Eeyore]

TikTok loves North Korea's latest propaganda bop. Why?

A song praising Mr Kim has got TikTok hooked - but experts say it could be hiding something more sinister.

Late entry from North Korea. Closer than Australia ?

Rather catchy

Obrigado Frutos.

 

[essbee1]

cheers Frutos!

 

[Paskman]

Vive La France merci @Frutos

 

[Eeyore]

Vive La France merci @Frutos

We bemoan that no-one votes for us, but it's just as bad for the Frogs. They haven't won since 1977 and, like us, have only been in the top ten twice in the last 20 years.

Semi Final One folks, tonight is your night.

8pm on BBC One.

 

[jcdenton08]

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

 

[Frutos]

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

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

 

[Dave the OAP]

I am not sure certain parts of our European cousins will vote for that to be perfectly frank.

ot was very reminiscent of an Frankie goes to Hollywood video.

poland on now and she is batshit crazy

 

[Dave the OAP]

BTW. What is all this singing over yourself? Olly did it….have they singing backing tracks?

 

[Frutos]

This (Croatia) is the current favourite, folks.

 

[jcdenton08]

Our lad can’t sing. Dreadful.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Our lad can’t sing. Dreadful.

But he can obviously box!

 

[Dave the OAP]

PUT YOUR HOUSE ON CROATIA!
