Nope. I’m out. Best thing about lockdown was they cancelled 2020 contest.

Ahh come on! I’ve long past my hate of it and now enjoy the laughing at foreigners and the hate towards the U.K. enormously

I said after 2019 (after finally realising that GB would never win it no matter how good the song was) that I'd never watch this again because I always get let down (I stupidly believe every year that GBs luck was bound to change) so with thqt in mind, I will stick to that and instead watch whatever EFL play off semi second leg is on Sky Sports.

I wll probably flick over during half time of that game to see what's happening and also try and watch the results part of the show once I'm out of the shower :-P.

Am I confident this year? Actually, no I'm not and I haven't even heard the song, ib fact I didn't even know who was singing until 48hrs ago :O.

There is also nothing better than watching it with Eastern European girls. The absolute devastation that creeps up on them as they watch their country and realise the song is shite and it's another year at the back of the pack is quite something.

No one can beat the Lordi win for sheer fun at the mainstream muzak expense.

I never watch though as the noise / music ratio is quite awful.

Eurovision has become more diverse in recent years - Hooverphonic, Flo Rida and James Newman this year.

Seem to be fewer wacky acts though. Every year needs a Verka Serduchka.

UK staging was boring. Not the worst song though, really interested to see the points (of any) we get.

The problem was that he isn't a great singer, and the song exposed that as well.

Everyone has better staging than us.

The trumpets caused echo and he ran out of puff 3/4 the way through.

How has the Iceland bloke been married 10 years, he looks 20.

Iceland is boring this year - sing 'Ja ja ding dong!'

Would have won last year, but they had a year to milk that and develop another great song. They haven't.

If you take out the weird lady dressed as a hand, it's kind of a cool wacky song.

Finland are going for a gothic Limp Bizkit vibe.

Or just a lame Korn.

I'm finding it quite stressful not seeing any hills. My walk in the woods today had more gradient.
