Just suffered through all of the songs and come to the conclusion that the whole thing is 95% utter shite and 5% just shite

Yabu
It's great fun.
And a bit shite.

Moveoverdarlin · 13/05/2023 22:33

Totally agree. I couldn’t watch it.

rainraingoawaay · 13/05/2023 22:34

Did someone keep you captive and away from the remote?!

It's glorious crap. Can't go wrong with glitter, hilarious songs and Graham Norton.

boys3 · 13/05/2023 22:34

It certainly wasn’t a vintage year.

plenty of 🍷🍷made it almost bearable

Figgygal · 13/05/2023 22:35

Total shit
That British entry was rubbish
It did give us Sam ryder though who I love he's like a bouncy puppy

DrManhattan · 13/05/2023 22:35

It's total bollocks but predictable and harmless

TooBigForMyBoots · 13/05/2023 22:35

Well I loved it.Grin

MidgeHardcastle · 13/05/2023 22:35

Only turned it on 10 minutes ago because I heard Graham Norton was on. It's ok so far!

AuntieJoyce · 13/05/2023 22:35

Speak for yourself

KnickerlessParsons · 13/05/2023 22:37

Shite, but brilliant fun shite!

Norugratsatall · 13/05/2023 22:38

The songs do seem spectacularly crap this year, even more so than other years.

Fizzadora · 13/05/2023 22:38

Well I rarely watch the songs anyway cos they are almost always utter shite. Caught the last half dozen. UK's was very underwhelming and what the fuck was that from Croatia🤣🤣🤣.
I'm just here for he voting.

Davros · 13/05/2023 22:39

Utter cringey bollocks. I caught a few bits because it's unavoidable. So naff and not in a good way

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 13/05/2023 22:39

I haven't watched it for years. Did due to it being in UK. Still as shite as it was in the 90s, but there's something comforting about that.

Fizzadora · 13/05/2023 22:39

And why oon earth does Mel Giedroyc keep talking over the presenters?

Daffodilwoman · 13/05/2023 22:39

First time I’ve watched it in years.
I feel like I’m in a parallel universe to be honest. Feels like everyone else is high on drugs and has overdosed on campness.

MidgeHardcastle · 13/05/2023 22:40

I love the technology of the scoreboards. I'm in my 60s so there have been many advances since the manual clicking up of the numbers. My favourite bit

besyhgt · 13/05/2023 22:40

Why spend so long watching something you aren't enjoying, that's so weird!

Chispazo · 13/05/2023 22:40

I stopped watching it when countries I'd hardly heard of starting win. whereonearthstan. wonitagainstan. neighboursvotedforustan
Loved it when I was a child though

Daffodilwoman · 13/05/2023 22:40

At least I feel the rest of the world has stopped hating us.

Floralnomad · 13/05/2023 22:40

The songs have been a much lower standard this year but the presenting over the 3 nights has been excellent .

drinkyourtea12 · 13/05/2023 22:41

Awful

Jellykat · 13/05/2023 22:42

Its so bad, its good.. but if you dont like it dont watch, simple..

Paperlate · 13/05/2023 22:42

Why watch it then? Did someone force you to watch it?

FusRoDah · 13/05/2023 22:42

Yabu OP. There have been better years than this one for quantity of good songs, but even so you appear to be taking it too seriously
