The official 2021 Eurovision thread

[Citizen of Legoland]

The only grievance I have with the planet is Australia being in it.

FTFY

That Azerbaijan girl singer got my vote. My telly needed windscreen wipers.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

She's the one on the far right isn't she.

Dark hair and dark eyes but not really flat chested, no.

I think though its probably time for us (the UK) to pack it in, the UK pay a lot of money into the competition each year to help keep it going and continually get no or low points no mater the song, blimey during the last one 2 years ago there was a pitch invasion during our song and our singer pretty much got assaulted, Time to quit I reckon.

the UK’s contribution to Eurovision specifically is less than the cost of a single episode of Holby City, it was in the BBC’s annual report a few years ago.

The U.K. does contribute a fair amount to the European Broadcasting Union but that’s based on the size of the market. We lean heavily on the EBU at events like the Olympics, it saves us (and every other member) sending hundreds of staff to cover it, we just use the EBU’s pictures and shared facilities and it saves a fortune.

The main reason we struggle for points was captured perfectly by Amanda Holden appearing in front of hundreds of performers and presenters that are using 3/4/5 languages interchangeably shrieking that she can’t tell the difference between Dutch and French like the racist bridesmaid at the worst hen party in the world.

Anyone who believed the UK entry was going to winhas been had over for a fat lad.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I'd have pulled out and not bothered 30 yrs ago. Waste of decent TV time.

Come on, you can't say things like that without posting it...



I need a lie down.

Technically Australia was part of Europe. Around 3 billion years ago

 

[Chris in London]

The chorus goes ‘Siamo fuori Di testa’ which usually means ‘we’re out of our minds,’

I think this time it means ‘we’re off our heads.’

Check out the viewing figures. While 10 million people still have Eurovision parties and watch it, knowing we may well come last no matter how good the song is, they aren’t going to pull out.
