Ollie is by far the best!

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!

Ireland were great.

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

DrinksbytheSea · 11/05/2024 22:12

The past few years were definitely more entertaining than this. There have been a few I’ve liked but I remember dancing around my living room last year. Maybe I need more wine…

They also loved France - what a beautiful voice.

Agree, loved it.

KatherineRS · 11/05/2024 22:12

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

BearFacedCheek · 11/05/2024 22:11

I now really like France. He was awesome.

Normally like him but thought he was really lacklustre.

I liked Luxembourg, DH liked Finland, both liked Ireland.

SweetFemaleAttitude · 11/05/2024 22:10

The UK will give the most points to Finland!!! Proper Eurovision

The French man made my jaw drop when he stepped back

We have turned it off - it's unbearable. Utter shit. It used to be funny.

I’m genuinely pleased you made that choice! I mean I still find it funny. You’d have enjoyed France to be fair.

Gosh this French dude is goooood

He was awful sorry.

Don’t think performing in a dirty toilet helped.

Probably a bit echoey in there.

KatherineRS · 11/05/2024 22:08

I loved Italy! And my Year 5/6 at school also liked it the most (we did a vote out of the ones I could appropriately show them…).

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 11/05/2024 22:08

Sorry op but UK was utterly shit and will feature low on the scores. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Shade17 · 11/05/2024 22:08

He has some great bangers, this is not one of them. Boring, beige, insipid shite. The anti-gravity gang bang was the most interesting part.

AmusedMaker · 11/05/2024 22:08

Croatia were brilliant!

crumbpet · 11/05/2024 22:08

I think as the staging takes over so much now it's almost more about the performance than the song

And the camera makes it feel more like watching a music video or something.

Purplepepsi · 11/05/2024 22:07

Waaaah. His singing was so weak! And why were they dancing in a manky toilet?!

Croatia, Switzerland or Spain for me!

Jeez it’s lighthearted. Unclench and switch over. Why do you and your dh sit around being tortured? It’s only going to get worse!!

I generally love Olly but the whole visual for the song just makes me cringe. It’s very Troye Sivan. And I know that’s popular but I just don’t know why everything has to be so over sexualised now. Little kids will be watching. It’s unnecessary. The song itself is quite sweet and then you have him looking like he’s in some weird porn type video.

MrDavidLloyd · 11/05/2024 22:02

I mean it used to be a bit of tongue in cheek light camp extravaganza with some vaguely draggy cruise ship acts, now i just feel like it's blatantly for and by gay dudes. I think this might be the end if an era? Graham sounded bored as fuck and again not in a knowing jokey way. Think this format has run its course. It used to be that you'd be mesmerised by how crazily bad stuff was and it would be a laugh but something has changed for me, not sure what!

It's not fun anymore

What on earth is there to like about it? It is a crap song, performed by a weak singer and the whole premise was centred around a group of men having gay sex in a dirty toilet? It was appalling.
The worst performance in a show of utter rubbish. Not a single thing either DH or I would want to see or hear again.
Everything about the show is terrible- the woman screaming just now is terrible.
