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

Yeah I don't get it either,I used to watch .it when there was nothing else on, but its a load of rubbish.

You're missing the point. Of course it's shite - that's the best part.

I keep telling myself that it must get better soon so I keep watching. It is a light hearted post

It's cheesy and camp and the songs are mostly shite. That's why I like it.

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

One of these two have to win Grin
I love Eurovision!

LyndaLaHughes · 13/05/2023 22:45

It's awful. I can judge who will win by which songs I find the most hideous. That Ukrainian song from last year was an abomination and it was horrible having to listen to it again.

Kokopenny · 13/05/2023 22:45

Also the atmosphere in Liverpool has been incredible !

Paperlate · 13/05/2023 22:46

It was worth watching for Croatia alone.

SoupedUpSue · 13/05/2023 22:46

The most unreasonable post I’ve ever read on here. I love it. 🦄🦄🦄

I know I know but I just can't get into it

slashlover · 13/05/2023 22:46

CHA! CHA! CHA! CHA!

LooseFit · 13/05/2023 22:47

It’s SO unbelievably shit, but quite funny. I can’t believe I’ve sat it through it all, though. Sad times.

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

The only thing we can think of is that this is when the rest of the country specific commentators are talking on their national broadcasts?

So like where we’d normally get graham talk over the hosts, we’re getting Sue. Only this year we don’t really need it because it’s all in English.

Kokopenny · 13/05/2023 22:50

Sue as the polish milk maid was genius

StaringAtTheWater · 13/05/2023 22:50

Eh? Why have you spent the last couple of hours watching something you aren't enjoying? More fool you!

Personally I love it

elliesmummy19 · 13/05/2023 22:52

Of course it’s shite! It’s so bad that it’s good.

YABU 😀

lljkk · 13/05/2023 22:53

Why watch it if you are hating it? Don't get why people love to find something to moan about. It's not bonding at all to do that.

LakeTiticaca · 13/05/2023 22:53

Watching tonight for the first time in years. One or two decent songs but the rest is the same predictable old crap. Definitely too many cooks spoiling the broth with all these different presenters shouting their heads off .
It was only Sir Terry Wogan who made it watchable 😢

AppleandSpice · 13/05/2023 22:54

Dh put it on but I Didn’t watch much past cha cha cha, and turned it over as soon as he went to bed!

zurala · 13/05/2023 22:55

YANBU. I've always loved Eurovision but this year all the songs are utter shit so far (I'm behind, on Armenia so far).
I usually watch it all but I'm going to give up and go to bed. They are just so dull.

2chocolateoranges · 13/05/2023 22:57

Dh just came into the living room and asked how the contest was and I laughed and said utter shite!

can’t even think who had a good song! It’s anyones to win tonight.

best part has been the multiple singers while the voting is going on.

AnSionnachGlic · 13/05/2023 22:57

It would have been better if Ireland had qualified 😁
