    So, tonight is Eurovision..who is going to watch?

    It is dumb, it is stupid, more often than not it is down right absurd and has nothing at all to do with real music. Yet, I will watch if only as a form of car crash entertainment and for Terry Wogan.

    So, who will be watching this year (we usually get a pretty good bitch thread going) as TGF's home country brings us crap music from across Europe.

    Oh and btw, let me be the first to say that the UK entry brings new meaning to the word 'gay'.

      I ain't watching that crap. Last year was the first time I did in like a decade.. but that was worth it since Finland won. This year we're back to our totally, utterly shit music and probably last place.
      ..and I'm off.

              Its become a joke.
              of the 28 countries in the semis 15 were from Eastern Europe.
              9 of 10 teams that went through to the final were from Eastern Europe, its become a joke the last couple of years with neighboring countries voting for each other but this year it will be an even bigger joke.

              My predictions.
              An Eastern European country will win this year.
              None of the "new" countries in Eurovision will give 8 points or higher to a country outside Eastern Europe.

                  Oh, trust me it can't be worse than ours. We had this whole song selection call in vote show and all the other acts other than this one had name recognition..the songs still weren't great but people like Justin Hawkins had a song. Yet, the people that called and voted just proved that the main people that watch Eurovision in the UK are gay men.

                          I have only lived here for 10 years (the year UK won actually) and it has always been a joke to me. I can't imagine living in a country where it was taken seriously.

                              We took it seriously when we won it a couple of years ago :D
                              I've watched it many times, drinking with friends and making fun :D

                              I don't take it seriously but I still watch it cause its always good for a laugh

                                      yeah exactly...just a chance to laugh at other Europeans ...who doesn't need that now and then?

                                      Do you get Terry Wogan's commentary where you are? I know some countries besides the UK take it...he makes it watchable.

                                          Kind of hard to explain..if you are old enough think back to Star Search when they had singers on it competing. Now, think that each country in Europe (and some others like Israel..countries that are part of the Eurovision Tv Network) gets an entry. The songs are very crap it is one of those cases of being so bad that it has become an institution.


                                          Part of the fun of these threads every year is how big they get and most of the Americans not having a clue what we are talking about.

                                                      I think it is safe to say the majority of right thinking people agree.

                                                                                      Let me just say tho, some of these songs make me want to kill myself! No one should win this year.

Never thought I would miss the camp. Only in a year like this could the UK song not sound that bad. The Sweden song had a melody at least but too bad they stole it from "Where My Rosemary Goes".
