Hopefully a couple of countries won’t win just because of sympathy. If they can manage to enter I’m sure they can expect it to be fair.

You can never be sure with Eurovision though!

Really don't understand the appeal of Finland. It's trying way too hard to be edgy funny imo.

Much, much prefer Croatia. Catchy, fun, but with an actual message.

the Netherlands one that was disqualified was actually better than any of them

Very low bar though. Daz Sampson would have walked it

leaflywren · 11/05/2024 22:23

awful, sorry. why the need to be so unnecessarily sexualised? I think they watched finland from last year and based the look on that.

Finland this year... my fave so far! (No I'm not finnish!)

AhBiscuits · 11/05/2024 22:23

I actually can’t bear the arrogance of the UK every year making fun of Europe as if we are any better. 🤢

The vast majority are making fun of UK on this thread. All Countries do it. The Italians didn't bother entering for years. You think Parisian think this is the hight of culture and don't look down on it. It's just a bit of fun.

I'm watching on catchup , just seen Ollie, I really don't understand the fuss? Very mediocre song and dancing in a dirty loo? Am I missing something? What was the amazing staging I've heard people banging on about?

It's supposed to be prison showers I think. Doesn't bother me though!

The voting will be interesting this year.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 11/05/2024 22:19

I also didn’t understand the dirty toilet thing. I never saw that at all

Growuppeople · 11/05/2024 22:18

awful song! don’t really wanna see people humping each other either. Although too be fair all of it is boring now

The chorus was very catchy. And in no way screamy.

Show quote history

The harmony and contrast was very creative. The production was spot on and the vocals strong with the switches seamless. Absolute brilliance. The European public will not let us down.

crivit · 11/05/2024 22:18

Outside of France I'd go Ireland or Croatia.

I have tickets to see the French singer this year. I love me some Slimane and I'm hoping that song is on the playlist!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 11/05/2024 22:15

I’m watching this with my 11 year old and although she has made some comments I don’t think it’s as vulgar as everyone making out.

Ireland was just some weird screaming. What on earth is amazing or great about that

MotivationalEater · 11/05/2024 22:15

Estonia, Croatia or Finland for me if you're going for a crazy song. Portugal or France out of the serious songs.

Switzerland was everything Olly Alexander wanted to be and wasn't.

Also really liked Croatia.”

the man who was naked from the egg... he gets my vote.. the most memorable

Egg man, spinny swizz person or the French dude for me

Best book your Dublin Hotels for next May. Only one song in this. The UK was a non entity with very weak vocals. Is the best you can do. The Thug has it.😁
