Eurovision Song Contest

[Easy-X]

Null points... yet again

F*ck 'em.

Okay, so our entry was total shite but this just looks like abuse now. There's something masochistic about the UK continuing to participate in this travesty but I like to think we're doing soooo well politically and economically that everyone else in Europe hates our guts

In that 'competition', I'd take that as a win

I like the idea that instead of a panel of out of touch 'judges' picking an act that they think will do well in the contest they could put forward an up and coming band/musician who are at the cutting edge.

Imagine if Aphex Twin was entered back in the day or maybe Black Midi.

Maybe no points, but would help catapult them to a bigger audience.

See.... the world's biggest selling artists (which the uk is rather good at and quite lucrative for the country) remain 'fresh' because they often incorporate the esoteric.

We need spotty herberts to push the envelope.

So which entry in Eurovision did folks here like. I liked the Icelandic geeks https://youtu.be/ORDK1XQToAY and the Ukrainian Servalan https://youtu.be/lqvzDkgok_g

Isn’t it the case that those Continentals have what we would regard as peculiar tastes in music (and other things), so unless we deliberately play the same game we are unlikely to get points. We are different. If anything, the Eurovision Song Contest is a celebration of the differences.

I wonder if the commentary in other countries is as wry as Wogan’s and Norton’s.

The Eurovison Song contest has bugger all to do with music and is pure politics, We should boycott it. We should not finance it at all, at the moment we are one of the top financiers of the event. We should not be showing it on on a government outlet.
