Eurovision, Nil Points

[Grey-gear]

Almost that time agian, I wondering if anyone esle here will be watching.

 

It's nice to think that UK is not going to be the most politically hate act in the show as the Russians have made it to the finals.

 

What are your thoughts?

[teejay]

Watched the first semi final last night, bit of bloc voting by the ex Soviet Union countries but what do you expect ;-)

 

I must be a glutton for punishment, but we watch it every year, you just have to have the right mindset or just be blind drunk.

Pass me the hot needles. I'll be in the corner poking my eyes out.

I'll have alot of beer and watch thinking what fun will we have this year, and then after the voting I try and guess the outcome of each country (it's fun)

The artists are cr@p but you have to admire the camera crews.

I tend to find 1 or 2 songs each year worth adding to the iPod, never the British entry for some reason.

Nah, that's for wimps! Pick a nation (not your home one) and take a drink for every point they receive!

[LosOjos]

I think you've already had too much

^ This. I never watch Eurovision. Even if the terrible music wasn't bad enough (although Dana International's entry the year she won was pretty catchy) the voting is so rigged and political that the whole thing is meaningless. I actively don't care and will go out of my way to watch anything else.

I think you totally misunderstand the point of watching Eurovision...

 

1) Listening to the barely concealed sarcasm from Terry Wogan, and now Graham Norton

2) Listening to how bad the UK entry is - it always amazes me they think the dross we send over each year is worth more than nill points

3) Seeing if the UK can actually make in to double digits

4) The political voting - it's a laugh in and off itself

5) Finding the 2 good enteries - and then being disappointed when they barely score above the UK

 

But mostly - it's about Graham Nortons commentry.

LOL yeah, he started out so optimistic and got more cynical as time went on. It's quite funny.

[SovietRussia]

Lets hope the UK actually does well this year, as always I seem to annoy the entire of my Facebook Friends list as I continue to post a song-by-song commentary on my Facebook, might keep up the tradition this year :3

Shh or my boss will here you

[SiliconAlley_Sam]

Eurovision is such a guilty pleasure. Will be getting the Dominos and a few drinks in!

[teejay]

BBC 3 now for the second semi final, time for the 'bearded lady'

[Alkaline]

I like to watch when the votes come in, they show all the different countries, and most of them won't shut up, just keep talking crap rather than saying the result.

[Grey-gear]

WOOOW we did come last thats a win in my book
