Ollie is by far the best!

Hopefully a couple of countries won’t win just because of sympathy. If they can manage to enter I’m sure they can expect it to be fair.

You can never be sure with Eurovision though!

I'm watching on catchup , just seen Ollie, I really don't understand the fuss? Very mediocre song and dancing in a dirty loo? Am I missing something? What was the amazing staging I've heard people banging on about?

I actually can’t bear the arrogance of the UK every year making fun of Europe as if we are any better. 🤢

What? No hate needed. Loads of other threads to be this miserable on! It’s Saturday night ffs 🤦‍♀️

FYI we are Europe!

Outside of France I'd go Ireland or Croatia.

The chorus was very catchy. And in no way screamy.

The harmony and contrast was very creative. The production was spot on and the vocals strong with the switches seamless. Absolute brilliance. The European public will not let us down.

Growuppeople · 11/05/2024 22:18

awful song! don’t really wanna see people humping each other either. Although too be fair all of it is boring now

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 11/05/2024 22:19

I also didn’t understand the dirty toilet thing. I never saw that at all

It's supposed to be prison showers I think. Doesn't bother me though!

The voting will be interesting this year.

The vast majority are making fun of UK on this thread. All Countries do it. The Italians didn't bother entering for years. You think Parisian think this is the hight of culture and don't look down on it. It's just a bit of fun.

AhBiscuits · 11/05/2024 22:23
  1. Croatia
  2. Switzerland
  3. Finland
leaflywren · 11/05/2024 22:23

awful, sorry. why the need to be so unnecessarily sexualised? I think they watched finland from last year and based the look on that.

Finland this year... my fave so far! (No I'm not finnish!)

GinAndJuice99 · 11/05/2024 22:24

the Netherlands one that was disqualified was actually better than any of them

Very low bar though. Daz Sampson would have walked it

Rubbish

Alaimo · 11/05/2024 22:26

Really don't understand the appeal of Finland. It's trying way too hard to be edgy funny imo.

Much, much prefer Croatia. Catchy, fun, but with an actual message.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 11/05/2024 22:27

Sweden
Finland
Croatia
Switzerland
Uk
Latvia

TooBigForMyBoots · 11/05/2024 22:27

The staging was amazing. The song was OK. But Ollie's vocals were weak.

DanielGault · 11/05/2024 22:28

Avatars are weird 😬

It’s the same old rubbish that’s been done to death. They do it for the shock factor but it’s so boring.😴

Beezknees · 11/05/2024 22:29

I prefer Croatia and Norway.

CelesteCunningham · 11/05/2024 22:29

Come on Ireland Grin 🇮🇪🧙

Iblinkedandiamold · 11/05/2024 22:30

There are a few songs I thought were really good. Olly was one of my favourites but I love him anyway. He was much much better than he was in the preview in the semis.
I did not like our (Ireland's) entry song wise but loved the preformance.
Finland just cheered me up no end.
I actually voted this year for Olly and for Germany.

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 11/05/2024 22:31

Estonia
Israel
Ukraine
Germany
France are the ones I liked.
