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!

Estonia still my fave

MissyB1 · 11/05/2024 21:43

Anything was better than Ireland! Even my 15 year old couldn’t bear that, he left the room!

I love Ollie and Years and Years but this was utter shite.

It's not the simulated sex contest. Though it seems lots of the entries seem to think it is.

AhBiscuits · 11/05/2024 21:42

I like a metal song, where are they all?

Elastoslax · 11/05/2024 21:41

I'm Irish. Hate our effort. I loved Finland.

Also Spain.

StampOnTheGround · 11/05/2024 21:41

I like him, and the staging etc. but he absolutely cannot sing at all

BettyWont · 11/05/2024 21:41

I haven't seen them all but I must admit I loved Spain's song.

I think Ollie is a bit mediocre and too try hard unfortunately.

Sam Ryder was robbed!!

Finland was amazing

I really enjoyed the Lithuanian entry when I watched it in person earlier in the week, but it didn't quite translate to the TV broadcast I thought.

UK was alright, but despite having heard the song several times now it just doesn't stick in my mind. Olly's vocals aren't great either.

So far I'd say Ireland and Greece are my favourites. Ireland because it's so unique/weird. Greece is just a fun, well done pop song, with a nice mix of modern and traditional elements.

The song wasn't bad but he had no power to his voice at all. It needed a stronger singer

MotivationalEater · 11/05/2024 21:35

Portugal are putting on a good show with a good song

MenopauseSucks · 11/05/2024 21:33

Spain was cool!! She looked amazing & a great voice but the male dancers were a bit bizarre.
Thought the UK was terrible...

BearFacedCheek · 11/05/2024 21:32

Finland now my no 1!!!

Cockapoopoopoo · 11/05/2024 21:32

I like Olly but I think he sounds weak, song wasn't catchy in the slightest and I'm finding the homoerotica of this year's show a bit tedious.

Simonjt · 11/05/2024 21:32

He did a fab job, he like the other acts has worked so hard. The audience was so loud we couldn’t actually hear israel, the sound has been a bit tinny for a few acts which is a bit annoying.

AhBiscuits · 11/05/2024 21:32

OK Finland is my favourite so far, could not stop laughing.

Letsbuildazoo · 11/05/2024 21:32

Germany has been my favourite so far.

fungipie · 11/05/2024 21:32

can't say- TV switched off. Bliss

montelbano · 11/05/2024 21:30

He was atrocious

I adore him but I don't think it was his best performance.
My kids were dancing to Estonia.

This maybe my problem. Just genuinely love him.

Ok Finland just came on 😂

His sound was bad, like he couldn't get his breath and the mike was turned too low.

QueSyrahSyrah · 11/05/2024 21:30

Saw Olly's staging described on Twitter as homo-erotic Billy Elliot fan fiction which I thought was fairly accurate.

Not a single one I've felt the need to Shazam and save so far.

AppaTheSixLeggedFlyingBison · 11/05/2024 21:29

Greece and Germany are my favourites
