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!

He was atrocious

Nil points!

First time I've ever switched Eurovision off, I've watched it every year since childhood (I'm 48 btw). I got half way through uks song and I couldn't take anymore I felt like satanic dark erotica being heavily pushed on Europe, it was boring and depressing.

His singing had no volume to it, it was weak, I thought.

Ireland and Estonia are my favourites so far.

Love Ollie but not a good song for him

Have you actually seen the others 🤣
It's okay but very catchy.

Yeah Im committed to my country’s entry. Had it been shit I’d have not started a thread! Just supported/suffered in silence.

It's gone too far the other way. I wouldn't want to watch this year's with kids.

Show quote history

Really?

our entry wasn’t great but I don’t think the rest have been so bad… Finland was naked but in a funny way.

COPPER3 · 11/05/2024 21:52

For the love of fucking god...I switched on to watch singing and a bit of good ole Euro... (I admit I haven't watched for many a year...plus witnessed Abba winning)..but do I want to witness gay porn in a dirty urinal...??
Utter shite...
So disappointed in our entry.
I like Germany, Israel, Ukraine...

I thought Cyprus were really good

Ollie's vocals were really weak for some reason. Such a shame.

loropianalover · 11/05/2024 21:49

I liked Estonia and Greece!! I’m in bed now though so will wait until morning to see who’s won 🤫

Love switzerlands too

Yeah it was brilliant. Damn not looking great for Ollie! He’s still my favourite though!

Definitely needs scaling back a bit
So unnecessary

It's meant to be glitter, sequins, boppy tunes and yes very camp but all of the near nakedness and gyrating - just why?

PointWriter · 11/05/2024 21:49

Switzerland - SO good!

Catchy, fun, camp, the guy looked like a chicken when he ran across the stage in his chunky trainers.

Brilliant.

Wo-uh-ohh.

Eurovision hasn't been fair for years.

InactionIsAWeaponOfMassDestruction · 11/05/2024 21:48

SWITZERLAND!!! Yes!!

AppaTheSixLeggedFlyingBison · 11/05/2024 21:48

Love switzerlands too

GinAndJuice99 · 11/05/2024 21:47

it's like every song has to sound 'dramatic'

there hasn't been a single one which is just a good song, with a melody. Is that too much to ask for?

Toottooot · 11/05/2024 21:46

He was shite - tellys aff already - canna watch ony mair o that pish inight. Shame as used to love a bit o Eurovision.

Is it me or has Eurosvision actually moved beyond camp?

It's gone too far the other way. I wouldn't want to watch this year's with kids.

Needmoresleep89 · 11/05/2024 21:44

It’s all fucking awful this year. Too much nudity and erotica. I want fun and cheese and camp, not this shit

DrinksbytheSea · 11/05/2024 21:44

Finland was great!! I also enjoyed Armenia.

DinaofCloud9 · 11/05/2024 21:44

I thought he was rubbish.

Ireland was awful too. I liked Spain and Finland.
