To think we have a real chance this year with Eurovision?

[itsnotmeitsu]

I love the Sam Ryder song and the official video. I think that, if it wasn't for politics, he would have a good chance of being in the top five. Whatever the outcome, I think the video for the song should be used for the 2022 John Lewis Christmas advert 🙂. Whatever the outcome, well done Sam > you're brilliant.

Annoyed with myself because I've used 'whatever the outcome' twice' 😐, but still think Sam should win 🙂

No, Ukraine will win.

Nah, it’s too bland. Stuff that works for Radio 2 doesn’t work for Eurovision.

I don't think anyone will beat Ukraine but not coming last is a win for the UK in my book!

Nil points

It's a good song and he's very likeable. He's also prolific on tik tok and was known before this. I'm excited to be in the top 10 for a change (surely).

Heard it for the first time today. Thought it sounded like Freddie Mercury singing a song written by Elton John. I liked it. But the UK will never win.

I like our song! Go Sam! But yeah, Ukraine should still win.

I’m usually quite an unsentimental auld bugger but even I think the winner this year has to be Ukraine - the Eurovision has become a show of support and unity, and actually I think it’s a nice opportunity to show our neighbours that we are with them.

I’ve followed Sam for years; he has an exceptional voice.

i think Ukraine will win but doesn’t that mean they’ll be lumbered with hosting next year?

Would be very surprised if Ukraine doesn't win this year.

Hahaha NO

Oh yeah, Ukraine would have to host it in 2023. I guess another country would offer on their behalf. Think that has happened before?

Will be amazing to be on the left side of the screen instead of the right! Go Sam!

I don't think we will ever be in with a chance. It isn't a music contest, it's a political popularity contest

Ukraine will win in a show of solidarity.

Ukraine will win, but I hope Sam does well.

I hope everyone supports Ukraine. Every single country 👍🏼

It's both musical and political. 2022 is a big political year.

Adele could be representing us with an absolute belter of a song & we'd still be awarded 'nil points'.

Ukraine will win but we won’t be nil points!

This.

Two predictions:

Ukraine win, UK nil points.

It's a good job we don't ever have a chance of winning as we'd probably cock up the hosting the next like everything else.

I probably won't watch. I do find the whole thing a bit superficial, yet awkward. Used to love it years ago, but a bit dull these days and not sure if viewing figures were what they were used to in the UK or in other European countries?

We should have a good chance of a respectable outcome. If Ukraine wins I expect whoever comes second or third might host the next one.

Meant to quote this but it cleared it.

The song is dreadful! Ukraine could sing Humpty Dumpty and will still win.
