I dont know why I'm watching it! It needs to go really. How are we behind Israel? They're not even Europe!

You can tell we've missed everybody off, not even points from Ireland this year

Sometimeswinning · 22/05/2021 23:15

Just said this! Just 1 point surely!

Eligibility is related to television broadcasting services, not geographical location.

It's only the jury's views so far, hopefully we'll pick something up in the public vote. It's a shame because the UK sing was clearly not the weakest this year.

The sooner we withdraw the better.

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 22/05/2021 23:24

Because everyone's hates the UK? Look at Amanda Holdens comment after saying 2 phrases in another language:

'I don't even know which is which'

It comes across as very ignorant!

Viciouslybashed · 22/05/2021 23:24

Our song was not that strong really though. But yeah one point please.

WilyKitWilyKat · 22/05/2021 23:25

Does anyone actually think our song deserves to win?

Amanda was bloody rude.
Whammyyammy · 22/05/2021 23:27

Its been political for years, nothing to do with how good the singer/groups is. Can't understand why it's still running.

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 22/05/2021 23:27

Agree Viciouslybashed, I'm embarrassed to be represented by that comment. Plus it was a shit song!

hellsbellswithcherryontop · 22/05/2021 23:30

As dh just said, we're only 267 points behindGrin

m0therofdragons · 22/05/2021 23:30

Amanda was an absolute embarrassment - more embarrassing than getting 0 points!

Viciouslybashed · 22/05/2021 23:30

I agree it has been political but honestly some of the songs have been fabulous this year.

Some English speakers may find it funny, but everywhere else that speak their own language and very clear English just think lazy English people
Floralnomad · 22/05/2021 23:32

It’s utterly ridiculous , the song wasn’t that good but it definite wasn’t the worst thing tonight . Time to stop sending a song at all .

Neither are we, anymore.
Sparklesocks · 22/05/2021 23:34

They weren’t hugely keen on us even before brexit! But yeah, we suck Grin

BigSandyBalls2015 · 22/05/2021 23:36

We’re still part of Europe 🤦‍♀️

user1471457751 · 22/05/2021 23:37

Who on earth thought Amanda holden was a good choice? I agree that she is an embarrassment.

Jchina · 22/05/2021 23:38

I am more embarrassed by Amanda Holden’s incredibly rude comment than our 0 points which I think is fairly standard for us to be honest! Absolutely no point in us paying for this any more I would say, we could carry on joining in in the earlier stages but not getting quite so humiliated!

Sometimeswinning · 22/05/2021 23:38

@3britnee where did we go???? We left the Eu (embarrassed for you)

Ah its horrid to watch. Please let us stop wasting money on this.

How do people feel about the U.K. being one of the big five that have the biggest financial contribution to Eurovision?

Floralnomad · 22/05/2021 23:41

I thought our bloke handled it very well and frankly the atmosphere seems to have changed in the hall .

Biscoffin · 22/05/2021 23:43

@Floralnomad I agree that he has handled it very well.
