It wasn't a great performance from the UK this year. It sounded flat and like an early rehearsal rather than the Grand Final performance. It felt like he didn't believe in the song. When you look at the staging of the other acts we were not really in the game at all. We need it spend big next year if we are serious about getting any points.

It's not even worth entering anymore. You can't tell me that the fact that nobody in Europe likes us and the fact we have left the European union has no bearing on the results whatsoever. Okay, our song was ***** but not last place. We will come bottom or in the bottom three for the foreseeable future.

So you send in an edgy rock band singing '**** the UK, our country sucks, the monarchy is dead' and some such and win.
LMAO.
Eurovision is like one notch above eurotrash with instruments if anyone remembers that show. None of the songs are memorable or havent been for a long time. It's a cheese feast with ham dripping from out the sides.
And it hasn't been good since Terry Wogan getting drunk on air and wittily and commically digging into each dire performance.

Eurotrash was amazing. Europeans talking about their sexual fetishes with the overdubbed Brummie accent.

If anyone watched the last series of UK Drag Race, there was a song called UK, Hun?

Not sure anyone actually cares about winning, it costs a ****load more to host for zero benefit to the host broadcaster.

The UK is a popular music superpower and Eurovision is the village fete. We only ever send in crap because anyone with a career wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. So what if we come last let's not worry about the chip on various European shoulders, we only pay into it because for some reason UK viewers like getting smashed whilst laughing at the crappy Europop.

Pretty much nutshell but I bet if somehow UK managed to win it would go to number 1 and give the winner some decent wedge for the rest of their life.

The lead singer of the Italian rock band that won the Eurovision Song Contest has asked to take a drug test to refute speculation that he sniffed cocaine during the show.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said Maneskin lead singer Damiano David “will take a voluntary drug test after arriving home”.
It said the band “strongly refuted the allegations of drug use” that bubbled up on social media after David appeared to bend over a table during the contest.
David was asked at a post-victory news conference whether he had snorted cocaine during the broadcast. He replied that he does not use drugs and indicated that he bent over because another band member had broken a glass at their feet.
In its statement, the EBU said that Maneskin band members had asked that David be drug tested to refute the speculation.

I see what you did there.
Personally I love watching Eurovision once and year and couldn't give too many ***** where we come in it. We get together with about 10 other friends, get drunk and take the **** and watch crazy, campy European acts. Norton is very good as the commentator and its generally a good laugh. I think some people in here are talking it a little seriously.
