Eurovision Song Contest Tonight.

[Georgiesmum]

It seems to be like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Will you be watching it?

[ichkeria]

Yes!

[ichkeria]

But I'll pass on the marmite :-)

[dannyk13]

No.

[marval]

No, but I am out tonight.

[Khandro]

Cosidering that the UK has produced some of the greatest talent in the world of popular music, this is a very good question;

[hereIam]

No way !

[Buenchico]

You're a bit late with your "Will you be watching it?" question!

The semi-finals were on BBC4 on Tuesday and Thursday and I really enjoyed them. (So, obviously, I'll be watching the final tonight!)

I think it could be a good year for the quirkier entries, so I reckon that a bit of yodelling rap could do well tonight ;-)

[ichkeria]

I cant read the whole of khandro's link but it would be hard to disagree with Katrina. I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes a likely eurovision winner. Added to the fact that that very few British artists seem to want to have anything to do with it. We pour scorn on it, then moan when we dont win claiming it is because no one likes us

[Buenchico]

. . . or perhaps this bouncy little number:

[ichkeria]

Not sure about the Romanian yodellers. They might just prove too irritating. My money is on Belgium.

[ichkeria]

Speaking of Moldova, a classic example of how we jusy don't 'get' what it takes to do well in this was the year their international no 1 band Zdob Si Zdub rocked it with a great song featuring a dancing granny. Terry Wogan, great man that he was, spent much of the evening wondering aloud how they came to be doing so well in the voting having scoffed at them during their eccentric performance. But they knew what they were doing

[douglas9401]

I don't know why anybody even tries any more.
The masterpiece that was Diggiloo Diggiley will never be surpassed.

[mallyh]

no ........bring back casualty .

[Georgiesmum]

I dont know anyone that watches it.
For me it goes on too long

[Baldric]

No way, I would rather have root canal surgery.

[ethandron]

Haven't watched it for years and years. But I do love marmite.

[dannyk13]

Why don't they do away with the acts and just vote.The result would probably be the same.

[EDDIE51]

Yes I will be one of the 204 million viewers expected

[Barsel]

No. I'd rather watch BGT or X Factor and I don't watch those either.

[237SJ]

No. I couldn't sit through that drivel
