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.

It was still hilarious when serious-minded Portugese winner (aka Chandler's weird flatmate) had to hand over title to Netta!

Freaks is the stand out. Sounds original, contemporary. The others were songwriting by numbers, cheesy.

RedToothBrush · 08/02/2019 20:46

Love Surie.

:(

Whisky2014 · 08/02/2019 20:47

Because it's shit! Wink

Biscuit - I agree with you.

I felt the ‘country singer’ could have done a lot better with a different song.

Still don’t like Storm. Didn’t want it to win last year.

I have met Conchita tom at a booksigning. Very nice they were too.
Surie was a good 'un.

Yes I loved surie's song last year.

RedToothBrush · 08/02/2019 20:50

Love Mans even more...

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 08/02/2019 20:51

I still think Storm sounds like a song my dd would make up while singing in the shower. Too basic.

RedToothBrush · 08/02/2019 20:51

Is Mans a UK citizen yet cos of Brexit?
