I post this only to remind everyone of one thing. That the Eurovision Song Contest has always been a joke and an irrelevance but seems to have reached rock bottom here. The mind boggles how a transvestite with a beard the size of Brian Blessed could ever get on to the TV, let alone represent a country at anything.

Why does the mind boggle?

[mikey4444]

Jim...do you really want me to explain my boggling !

[EcclesCake]

What is the problem?

[Jomlett]

I thought the song won!

[sandyRoe]

The beard doesn't seem to be inordinately large.

[mikey4444]

My God...the lunatics are in charge of the Asylum !

[EcclesCake]

Just out of interest, have you actually watched the clip Mikey?

[Cloverjo]

I thought she was great. It doesn't matter about the beard or what type genitals are under the dress.

[jim360]

Yes I really would. It seems rather outdated to care about this in the way you seem to be hinting at.

[mikey4444]

I give up !

[EcclesCake]

You give up because no one agrees with you?

I ask again did you watch the clip?

[ummmm]

Who are we to judge?

My oldest son has a squint and absolutely refuses to get it fixed (free on the NHS) because that's who he is.

My younger son is gay....that's who he is.

Live and let live.

mikey, facial hair on females at the Eurovision is normal,just look at some of the Greek female singers, fantastic mustaches lol!

why on earth should transvestites not represent their country? What a strange thing to say.

[jackthehat]

Where have you been since 10th May?
I thought all the incredulity, etc. had already been played out...

[jno]

how did you feel about Suzi Quatro wearing leather trousers?

(Okay, don't answer that.)

[Sqad]

I agree mikey.........the likes of Danny La Rue were an entertainment....a comedy act, but now Conchita in full regalia with beard and moustache is taken seriously.

We were THEN and this is NOW.

[jim360]

I know it's shocking, but some men like dressing up. It feels right for them. And some are proud about it and are happy to be seen by the world as who they are. Why this should be a problem?

[Sqad]

Jim.......would it bother you to consult your Neurosurgeon who was dressed in see-through blouse with black bra underneath, skirt, long hair, lipstick and a beard and moustache?

If the answer was NO....it wouldn't bother you, then i repect your sentiments, if the answer was YES......it would bother you, then you comments above might need reassessing.

Let me guess.............you would answer NO!.......it wouldn't bother you.
