Bonjour mes amis, Guten Tag meine Freunde, Buenos dias mas amigos Wine
With 100 days to go it would appear the first article is out on Eurovision!
www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/feb/08/eurovision-you-decide-the-uks-song-choices
I have given them a listen and conclude we are going to lose again, colour me shocked, but best of the bunch is the Holly Tandy one, if I had to pick.
Glitterball I picked SuRie last year and she did a bloody good job, bless her.

Singer 3 is terrible.

This is not good at all.

Raahh · 08/02/2019 19:59

(Singer 3 in this group that is).

Petalflowers · 08/02/2019 19:59

To quote dh, ‘this is awful’.

Hoping they are saving the best to last.

After seeing the first 4 live..Michael is the only thing that can redeem us

Raahh · 08/02/2019 20:00

They need a buzzer.

We've seen/heard enough.

Raahh · 08/02/2019 20:01

Oh good - it stopped!

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:01

This is terrible. Wtf. Why am I putting myself through this?
I.love eurovision but GB is always shit.

I actually think we should follow other countries and show off some national dress. Like a boy group in kilts or something. Or like the guards outside Buckingham palace. I bet other counties would love that!

Here, we are just trying (and failing) too hard for a good song and that's not what it's about..

ForalltheSaints · 08/02/2019 20:01

We should be leaving this farce not the EU. Or at least not have it on the BBC.

Country is not what we need.

Petalflowers · 08/02/2019 20:06

She’s got a nice voice.

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:06

I like country but this doesn't sound country.

That being said..I like it!

Raahh · 08/02/2019 20:07

There's a lot of fringing in evidence.

Between this one's outfit, and the first one Grin

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:07

Oh ok got country :D

ilovesooty · 08/02/2019 20:07

I like the song.

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:08

Fuck yeh. This is good!

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:08

Crowd engagement too and good voice!

Petalflowers · 08/02/2019 20:08

Not very country, and a bit repetitive. Probably the best vocalist of the night.

Well that was the best of a bad bunch for me, am always partial to a bit of line dance Wink

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:11

There was a lot of energy in it, line dancing, repetitive enough people will remember. Yep that gets my vote.

SneakyGremlins · 08/02/2019 20:13

Hi everyone! I'm so hyped for this year! But not watching tonight.

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:13

Good but not as good. Although it shows this song is the best by far.

Petalflowers · 08/02/2019 20:14

Don’t think we’ll be winning this year.

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:14

Very good but too serious. We need SOME cheese!

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:16

Well no, because Europe hate us.

Fuck sake they gona put the guy through
