    The results of the public vote is now just more dreadful reality TV, painfully dragging it out with pauses etc.Horrible to watch.

    I'm repeatedly watching the Swiss lad getting his cough softened. Fabulous TV.

    That was comedy gold.

    Good, she was ****e. Hate all that big sassy bitch music. Sure someone did it a couple of years ago so she was too late to the party.

    Ya the song was awful but to be way up there early on and get F all off the public she looked destroyed the poor kid.

    The French girl too looked for a second like she thought they might have won till her head did the calculation

    I liked the Belgium song. Stunning looking woman too with that tight dress and knee high boots. She reacted well when she got low points from the public. Best way to deal with it.

    The Greece song was cool too and fabulous figure on that lead singer.

    UK get no points from anywhere yet get automatic entry next year

    Germans get 3 points from 'professional' juries and get automatic entry next year

    Spain get 6 points and yet get automatic entry next year


    There's a simple solution but the countries will hate it

    End auto qualification for everyone but the previous winners, make every single country have to earn their place in the final
    Won't happen
    Besides the dosh, it's population numbers/viewing figures.

    Germany failed to qualify once or twice in the 90s and the viewing figures dropped too much so the auto qualifiers came in to ensure those 5 big population centres were always in it
    Italy really doesn't give a fck as they have San Remo, so they dropped out for a long while after they were told they'd have to go through qualifiers! They do their own thing

    For them, San Remo is the top festival and winners can choose to enter Eurovision, some say yes, some say no and that's why Italian entries are usually a notch above the rest. :pac:
    Boards is in danger of closing very soon, if it's yer thing, go here

    To be fair you'd need a stimulant after 3 hours of drinking in the green room and then going on and performing when you won.

    They should test him now. If he's doing that it is a disgrace.

    I found myself singing along to the Belgian entry before I did to the rest.

    Only 2 countries have it as their first language so that's a good ratio.
