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!

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.

What's with the nipples on the wall behind the judges Hmm

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:17

This is where it all goes wrong. Focus too much on the singing and forget the entertainment factor.

Petalflowers · 08/02/2019 20:18

That was the strongest group.

It's also unfair to holly who is far better than the other 2 shitty contestants. She deserves a place over them.

ilovesooty · 08/02/2019 20:23

Holly is streets better than this girl and the second contestant and so is the song.

RedToothBrush · 08/02/2019 20:24

Michael definitely best.

This one was

Yawnn...

Meh. Don't really care at this point. Quite like the first one if they project the title on a brexit bus, yes I went there Wink
Czech republic sounded okay. France - ye Gods - and more brocade.
But alas no line-dancing cowboys.

Michael was best singer but that's not all whats a required in winning eurovision. It's too serious... we needed lanky country dancers!

Raahh · 08/02/2019 20:26

Well, it shows song 3 is definitely the best.

Is it Eurovision enough though ?

Would be happy enough with Michael doing a power ballad I guess.
We were coming last in any case

It has a big key change and big finale. That's Eurovisiony.

This one is fine. I could live with it... But it's not the best.

Petalflowers · 08/02/2019 20:28

The judges like no 3 definantly but I felt it was a little too contrived. Somehow I like no 2.

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 08/02/2019 20:29

Liking Jordan 2nd time round. It's a wee bit catchy.

RedToothBrush · 08/02/2019 20:30

It's an earworm...

He'd have to do loads of publicity pre-show.

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:30

I still hate it. And i hate the word "freak". It's a no from me.

Raahh · 08/02/2019 20:31

Jordan could be a grower.

But I think Michael might get the nod.

RedToothBrush · 08/02/2019 20:32

Pretty sure Michael will win...

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:32

Let's hope so

I am still sulking Germany didn't send their Lederhosen-clad boys last year Grin

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:35

He's good. I guess I'm vote for him

ilovesooty · 08/02/2019 20:35

It has to be Michael.

PinkBuffalo · 08/02/2019 20:36

Surprisingly, I Love the freak song by Jordan. Really hope that goes through! But the last guys was good too
