Poll: *** The Official OcUK Eurovision 2022 GD thread ***

[Merlin5]

Shock news. We might not get nil points this time. Apparently Sam Ryder is highly tipped to be in the top 3 in tomorrow's final. We might even win.

 

[StriderX]

It's going to be an awkward Eurovision with Ukraine likely to win by default.

 

[moon man]

I must admit i am more excited about the Eurovision song contest than the fa cup tomorrow

Yeah, a large middle digit pointed squarely at Russia

I'm wondering who will get Ukraine's 12 points.

 

[Feek]

Oh man, early thread!

I've heard Sam's song on the wireless a few times over the last week and it doesn't jump put as anything too exciting.

Ukraine are going to win. They could rock up with a man, sitting on a biscuit tin playing a mouthorgan and they'd win so this year, the real winner will be the country who are the first loser.

I can't make any predictions because I've not heard any of the songs.

Mrs. Feek will be buying Eurovision snacks tomorrow ready for the evening.

Not really exciting no, but arguably the best we've had in a long time. I don't dislike it at all and it's somewhat catchy.

I'll preface this by saying I haven't heard our entry yet but, haven't we heard "this year is different we might do quite well" for the last 5-10 years or so? I doubt this year will be any different.

If the UK even gets into double digits on points I'll be very surprised. I'm sure it'll be a fairly somber night compared to usual but hopefully a good sprinkle of classic Eurovision craziness in there as well.

Presumably a lot of crackers to go with the amount of cheese that the eurovision abomination is made from.

Brexit - why is the UK even in it? So we can free trade crap music but not other goods?

The Ukraine will "win" it because, but it'll be amusing to see the country that doesn't vote for them.

 

[Malevolence]

Why is Australia in there?

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I was never fussed about Popstars, Pop Idol, Fame Academy, X Factor, Britain's Got Talent etc.

However, I have always been interested in Eurovision since 1995 when I was a teenager.

On TV BBC 1 or iPlayer at 8PM tomorrow.

It can also be watched live + retrospectively on YouTube. I have done it this way since 2017, but be careful. If you're watching retrospectively and you don't yet know who the winner was, it might reveal the winner on their YT homepage. I fell foul of this spoiler last year when I wanted to watch it from the beginning. Kinda wish YT has spoiler tags like on here! At least for the first 24 hours after the show has finished.

Where's the pancake option?

 

[The Funktopus]

As I said in the Ukraine conflict thread, Ukraine should have entered that Bayraktar song.

 

[Bickaxe]

Why is Australia in there?

I think it's to do with broadcasting, its very popular over there. If they win, they won't host though so I think its more to do with taking part or something like that.

So if Ukraine win, where will they be hosting it?

The way the Russian armed forces are performing, I’d say Moscow.

 

[Fubsy]

Why is Australia in there?

There was a mistake one year with the entry forms. The Austrians weren't alpy at all.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

12 points for Boris I shouldn't wonder he's some kind of hero over there.

I want to shower you with sugar lumps
And ride you over fences
Polish your hooves every single day
And bring you to the horse dentist

I only started watching Eurovision with my girlfriend and find it to be a fun theatre of a show. Usually I enjoy some of the dafter acts rather and catchy pop songs rather than the ballads. This year I think a few good songs that were along the rock band lines like last years winners and some of the really silly tunes are already out. I think my favourite song to listen to is the Czech Republic’s with Estonia’s being up there for me as well. For the entertainment I enjoyed the Moldova track and the Norway Subwolfer! Ukraines track is pretty good as well. We have friends who are more into it and they are already looking for hotels in Warsaw (probably not a win for Poland)

 

[V F]

I haven't a clue who these entries are. I did just hear one on the radio from the Eurovision, assuming it was this years but I didn't know who's it was. It was like a, not sure how to describe it. Like a small choir of nordic men going along with a somewhat fast beat. It was catchy.

 

[Efour]

Ukraine will win by default.

UK will do surprisingly well this year, NLAWS buy you votes for sure.

Norway's song is brilliant for wtf reasons.
Finlands is garbage
Swedish song would have won if Putin hadn't invaded.

 

[ic1male]

I was gutted Ireland's song didn't get through, that was my favourite this year. Second favourite is the Serbian woman washing her hands in a bowl. I'll vote for that one.

But I think we're likely to see the biggest win in Eurovision history with Ukraine getting all the votes. If the BBC shouts loud enough, we could host it next year because it's unlikely it will be going to Kyiv.
