Eurovison 2018 (Any sign of Keith Mills?)

VinLieger

So the Eurovision semi final qualifying rounds start tonight and im excited.

I know a lot of people give the competition a hard time but its stupid and crap in a fun way that I really enjoy and think a lot of people are missing out on by trying to be "cool" and really unnecessarily hating on it, like what did it ever do to you I ask?

With a couple of drinks on board it can be great fun to rip the piss out of.

Am I alone?

Prob watch the Irish entry and the voting in the final, that's the best part of it all. Few drinks & that in the background will do

Yer Da sells Avon

I won't be watching it because I am an intellectual and above that sort of frivolous nonsense. I will, however, be telling anyone who'll listen that I won't be watching it because I want them to know that I'm an intellectual and above that sort of frivolous nonsense.

Anyway, it clashes with Holby City.

major bill

Not ashamed to say as a 30 year old mans man that I fecking love the Eurovision and I shall be watching!!!

Wilberto

I would watch it only I've something else on so I'll be missing it. Why couldn't we have been in Thursday's semi final?!! :pac: :pac:


Might just catch the end of it.

I assume our entrant is called Ryan?

It is fun, we can all in Europe have a laugh at each other and enjoy it for what it is, harmless fun.

I might watch, it is a bit of craic but the standard and style of music in it really puts me off. They seem to focus on cheesy pop and ballad, and actually lately more so on the lights and fireworks of the show rather than the music. It irks me but I'll probably watch anyway lol

Nettle Soup

I have a match but I will tape it and watch it later.

You assume correctly.

:pac:

Wilberto

The Israeli Chicken Dancer is the favourite, apparently! :eek:

Why no option in the poll for;

I'd never miss it, it's the greatest show on earth [√]

Its very Gavin James. But is it poppy enough for Eurovision?

It has grown on me a little since I heard it first. Haven't heard the other semi finalists though so have no idea what they're like (apart from Israel above who are actually in our semi final.)

Shenshen

Sorry, won't be able to watch it, I'm afraid.

I've got some paint drying that I want to watch instead.

KathleenGrant

Watching it. Was brought up in simpler times when it was all about Ireland v England (yes, I know it's UK but not in our house) 🀣🀣

# Go Ryan

Hector Bellend

I'll be balls deep in a statement of cash flow

SEPT 23 1989

we could have had Johnny Rotten representing his country tonight but the geniuses in RTE said no

I would have watched that

Mint Sauce

It's also on BBC4.

Damn you OP.

<shakes fist>

kneemos

Only worth watching for the snide comments of the presenters.

EPAndlee

4 female presenters? Where is the equality

Mint Sauce

Well had enough of BBC4s Ryland and Scott Mills within 10 seconds, so off to Marty Weelan on RTE. Might as well make some use of the Licence Fee.

I thought it would be Mr Norton but when I heard those two I had to go back to Marty

Hammer89

I won't be watching, but I will check in here at some point to see people pretend to be horrified when Graham Norton says "we" in regards to the UK entry.

"Did he just? No, he couldn't have. He f*cking did you know. Well I never."

Get over it.

It is a bit odd actually.. I mean it's the eurovision, could they not have a gay fella up there too? It's like we want to pander/be correct, but not too much

Think it's Norton on Saturday, so will be back to him then. That's if I watch it.
































Who am I trying to kid.

gmisk

I do like azerbijiggy but the lyrics aren't good.
I hope it makes it through pity this semi so tough

Mint Sauce

Iceland Boy looks creepy.

riffmongous

Boring start so far anyway

Atoms for Peace

Did he steal Johny Logan's suit?

r93kaey5p2izun

Thought I'd be watching but wouldn't miss Midsomer Murders for the world. Ah well, I'll watch the final on Saturday. What an exciting life I lead!

gmisk

Iceland zero change of qualifying

TheValeyard

Id rather spend an evening listening to Michael D Higgens poetry.

riffmongous

Daycent voice on that fella

gmisk

Bad bond theme zzz

gmisk

Even without the back flips czech rep nailed on to qualify

gmisk

My dog is definitely into the Israel tune

Catchy maybe a bit too quirky for juries coukd defo top 3 maybe win

gmisk

Estonias voice is insane this will defo qualify

Bulgaria song is excellent will do well.
A proper song not really based on gimmicks

We're on!

Mint Sauce

Yay! We're through.

I am so excited!

Damien360

Meh. Thought the Ireland entry was week. Of that lot, Austria is way out ahead. Israel comedy act shouldn't have made it, awful stuff.

Grab All Association

The two gay guys dancing for Ireland secured Ireland the gay vote in Europe

No chance that I'll be hoping for Sweden. They're on 6 wins!!!
