Eurovision 2022

[Buenchico]

I'm posting this in Chatterbank as I know that some people here don't think that the Eurovision Song Contest actually counts as 'Music' ;-)

Here's this year's UK entry for the competition. Let's have your predictions for its success (or lack of it!), please ;-)

[For what it's worth, I don't think that it will finish bottom - but I don't think that it will finish top either!]

[grumpy01]

Perhaps one up from bottom,another loser.Why do we bother?

[ichkeria]

Not bad at all.
The chorus I felt was a bit of an anticlimax after the very melodic verses

No idea how it will do.

[ichkeria]

I feel we are heading for a repeat of 1944 in 2016

I think it counts as music but it doesn't count as a song contest. It's more a popularity contest among the EUSSR. Tell you what I'll predict the UK's score now, zero.

[ichkeria]

One of the great nights of the year Tora! bizarre music and costumes washed down with Graham Norton and red wine!

[ToraToraTora]

yes ich, I used to watch it when it was a song competition.

[gness]

Hmmmm.....not sure how you'll do, Chris but I quite like the chap....lovely profile especially with the man-bun. I love man with long hair....Dave take note.
Haven't seen ours yet but I hope not another turkey....not that we want the expense of winning again....and again... ;-)

[ladybirder]

Not a bad voice, I enjoyed the first 30 seconds then it was all downhill.

[gness]

Costumes, Norton and Guinness here, Ich.

[Mozz71]

I think there's a fair chance it'll do better than the last few years. Europe has a new enemy now.

[gness]

Oh Lord! Just found ours, Chris. Seems to be a girl in pyjamas....won't be winning this year. :-)

[Buenchico]

Thanks for all the posts.

>>> I love man with long hair

I usually save my long blond wig for Saturday nights (with the high heels and sequinned dress) but I'll wear it at other times for you though, Gness ;-)

My prediction is that the Irish entry won't win but it will, at least, finish ahead of the UK one. What's wrong with girls in pyjamas, anyway?

[ToraToraTora]

it's out of UK and Russia for the bottom slot then!

[Buenchico]

Keep up, TTT!

You'll be fine in that in any of our village pubs, Chris. We are very tolerant. We were in our local with family when a man in a lion's costume...complete with huge mane and very long tail...came in, sat at the bar with a pint and a meal, paid and left and nobody gave him a second look.
Dave agrees that there's nothing wrong with a girl in pyjamas.....now he tells me!

[gness]

Don't even think of buying me that, Dave...the seams don't match properly.

[ToraToraTora]

19:04, damn I'd hoped we'd have country more unpopular than us in it!

[Buenchico]

LOL @ TTT ;-)

It's got to be satin for Gness, surely, Dave?

It's not bad actually.

Can't remember the last time I watched Eurovision. Well over 10 years ago though.

When was the last time the UK got above nil points and what was the reason for the subsequent nil point? I remember it being a political one but forgotten what it was.
