Eurovision Song Contest 2021

Just tuned in for the end of the results and winning song. That's possibly the most forgettable Eurovision winner I've heard to date.

Fair play to the Dutch getting done more or less on time.

Italians will be surprised waking up tomorrow winning a competition they generally know nothing about.

I likes the song.

I watched a bit with my six year old at the start and she was hooked.

So you really think even non EU countries (of which there are many) did not vote vote for UK because of Brexit?

Don't forget because of the border, Brexit makes more news in Ireland then the rest of Europe.

The Netflix movie said everyone hates the UK :pac:

Delighted Switzerland didn't win. He was a cocky singer who thought he had it won before the public decided.

His face every time a big public vote came in was hilarious. "Can they do this?"

Italy won because of the performance. Finland rocked up the chart because of the performance. The French came second because of the performance.

The Switzerland song didn’t do as well as the jury vote because of the performance

It's the Rage similarities which I'm drawn to in the song. Yer man doesn't sound like Zack De La Rocha, but the music is highly derivative of RATM. That riff has Tom Morello all over it.

Lads they have to figure out a weighting system that doesn't stick the knife in like that. Like theres no way in hell the UK and the others got zero phone votes at all from anyone. Brits in Ireland would have phoned, no question.

If you get the lowest volume you should get maybe 20, 30 and up to say 400 for the highest public popularity. Zero is just sadistic.

Germany got 3 points and 0 from the popular vote.

Still infinity x 2 times what the UK got.

I'd thank this twice if it was possible

They basically ripped off Rage against the machine.

Are ye, and those that agreed, tone deaf?

archfi · 23-05-2021 12:01AM

They cut the bloody end off

Well, I'm watching Eurovison since 1973 except for most of the 00's (don't ask and no I wasn't sectioned because I saw it since 1973 either) and that is one of the top winning songs in my time.

The voting drama is fantastic - that has to be kept.
I'm off to look at the insane UK Digitalspy Eurovision forum after the UK's humiliation- and they are totally nuts there ;-)

Thanks for the thread

Italy song had. a Janes Addiction vibe to it but it’s a class rocking song

Daroxtar · 23-05-2021 12:01AM

Ripping off an anti piracy advert... Irony?

The Eurovision song contest is nothing to do with the EU and there's an awful lot of non EU countries in it.

Italy,
glam rock revival in appearance, Rage against The Machine rip off

If you read Nikki de Jager's Wikipedia article that might explain why she is so tall

I thought the same. Its doesn't add up.

23-05-2021 12:03AM

Looks like my 40 votes were all Bulgaria got off the public.

I tuned in late so am just hearing the winning song now. Yer man could be singing away there about a door for all I know, but it's a rockin tune.

He actually is singing about a door

"Mo’ li prendo a calci, ‘sti portoni"
