Anyone else want to chat shit and join me on Saturday night for Not-Eurovision on the BBC?

Or just share opinions on what were supposed to be this years entries to get their Eurovision fix?

Hmmmm .... very earnest

Friend worked on the Eurovision programming - says the Rylan thing is a bit more 'edgy'.

France is an eye candy! Now that's a treat for sore eyes

Russia for the win.
The show is almost too fast, even with my limited concentration span.
But it goes on until 10? What is planned for the whole show?

I quite like the French entry.

I seem to like France every year, even when no one else does.

Oh, I say. helloooooo....

My worry is that next year's new batch of songs will all be earnest

ballads.

Or maybe they will go the other way, and we will get a load of gimmicky stuff?

Phowar mr France is hot and unusually for France singing in English

BunnyandBee · 16/05/2020 20:16

Ooh la la, beautiful french man

PotterHead1985 · 16/05/2020 20:16

I thought he looked a bit man at C&A

dillite · 16/05/2020 20:17

Could they reschedule Eurovision for later in the year?

Raahh · 16/05/2020 20:17

Bunny I think the problem is, they are showing all the acts- including those that would have been ditched at the semi final stage.

So this is the show, til 10. At least that's my take on it.

EwwSprouts · 16/05/2020 20:18

I would wear Portugal's red trousers Grin

dillite · 16/05/2020 20:18

I am still thinking of Mr France, haven't even noticed who has been on since.

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 16/05/2020 20:18

The Hands!!!!!!

EwwSprouts · 16/05/2020 20:19

Yes please.

I think it will be normal mix to be honest - but DH has pointed out there is a general pattern of quirky / sincere / quirky / sincere in the winning pattern.

After this year Europe will want to P-A-R-T-Y

And maybe my flight to Rotterdam won't be cancelled next year unlike this year (sadface)

Mr Lithuania is full of crap

Raahh · 16/05/2020 20:19

Oh- I remember these backing singers!

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 16/05/2020 20:19

Mr France has got me thinking of my probably cancelled french holiday and the summer romance that will never be 😔😔😔

PotterHead1985 · 16/05/2020 20:20

Do they get to host again?
