AAnyone else watching ?

[nungate]

Nope! May tune in for the results later - most entertaining. It would be far better to skip the entire singing bit and go directly to the scoring

[mrs_overall]

Nope, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes

[chi-chi66]

Yes on Chatterbank!!

[Athley]

Nope it's a contest for tone deaf transvestites and slappers I hate it !!

[chi-chi66]

funny ^^

[shoota]

I'm not a devotee but I think the standard is generally higher this year - there are some good songs.

[katdarn79]

Got to agree shoota, i dont normaly watch but im quite enjoying it. xx

[marval]

What about Jedwards outfits, weird or what?

[flipnflap]

Jedward looked and performed superbly. Engelbert over-egged his song, even doing a touch of the Mariah Careys. Plonker

[beattie819]

Englebgert was rubbish. Jedward and Russian Grannies for top 2 !!!!!!!!!!! No wonder I ahve had too much scotch and ginger.tee hee

[deggers316]

[craft1948]

So where did we finish?

[cupid04]

Was our song that bad. Am I the only one on here who hasn't even heard Englbert's song for Europe!

[MASS1961]

Not last craft!! Just

[deggers316]

it was bad he did his best with what was a non starter

[MASS1961]

What do we seriously hope to gain from keep entering this totally biased event?
When you can predict beforehand who will give maximum marks to who, regardless of how good or bad the son was, and most of Europe dislikes the UK,
How much money do we throw away every year on a lost cause?

[MASS1961]

oops!
Not a bad son
Song

[sir.prize]

But the biggest flop of the night was Graham Norton during the awarding of points. What a bl00dy pest he was, talking over the everyone. Total dipstick. Do not understand why the BBC value his contributions. Come back Sir Terry . . . ermmmm well, maybe not.

So because of this we now have to endure it year in year out

[i]Big Four/Big Five
Since 2000, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain have automatically qualified for the Eurovision final, regardless of their positions on the scoreboard in previous contests.[35] They earned this special status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU (without which the production of the Eurovision Song Contest would not be possible). Due to their untouchable status, these countries became known as the "Big Four".[76] On 31 December 2010, it was announced on the official participation list published by the EBU that Italy would automatically qualify into the final, thus joining the other qualifiers to become the "Big Five".[77] Germany became the first "Big Four" country to win the contest since the rule was made in 2000, when Lena Meyer-Landrut won the 2010 contest. Since the introduction of semi finals, the host also qualifies, meaning that a maximum possibility of six countries can automatically qualify.[i]

Can't we opt out of being in the Big Four?
