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 feel for Ollie he didn't deserve that.

AhBiscuits · 11/05/2024 23:49

Ah I'm happy Nemo won, he's fantastic.

Our contribution was embarrassingly bad.

HintofVintagePink · 11/05/2024 23:51

Ah the best person won!

Hopefully the UK re thinks soft porn in a dirty toilet cubicle next year.

Pleasealexa · 11/05/2024 23:52

Nothing memorable to it other than some anti-gravity humping in a toilet

Agree with this. Too focussed on humping with his red codpiece.
Glad Ireland didn't win...way too theatrical and tried too hard to shock...would be great for scary show though.

Bring back performances like Alexander Rybak in 2009! When Eurovision was fun to watch.

Now it's just "who can be the most shocking" 🙃 I prefer listening on the radio these days.

maddiemookins16mum · 11/05/2024 23:59

I love a bit of camp gayness at Eurovision etc but our performance was just crude and actually unpleasant. There’s a reason Sam Ryder did so well, we should have learned from that but someone decided the homoerotic was the right path for some reason. I must be getting old, dear Katy Boyle would be turning in her grave.

Olly seems a sweet lad but that song was shit and the staging was embarrassing.

Bambooshoot · 12/05/2024 00:02

Our song was ok but the staging was horrible, why make it so slutty and why only homosexual? Eurovision is about inclusion, no? It needs a good song from a great singer (like Sam, remember that? Second place and no one had to simulate sex or wear a leather codpiece!!) With different staging we could have done better.

ReadySetSit · 12/05/2024 00:03

Ireland was incredibly cringey. I felt embarrassed.

Agree- I was watching with three 11 year old boys and we were in hysterics- to be honest though it was a bit awkward- song was nothing, can't even remember it because we were all so distracted by the grinding and homo erotic dancing- why can't we just have someone with a good voice singing a song? I feel a bit embarrassed of our poor effort!

Not how I spell it. He and I may differ. Glad you edited your comment. I nearly thought you had a sense of humour (the non judgy, fun type)

The whole fucking show is terrible. Accidentally tuned in for the last 10 mins and don’t get how it even gets air time?? I mean I watched it back in 1984 but it’s about 30 years past it’s sell by date🤷🏼‍♀️

Ireland was robbed. It was the best song by Miles.
At least the chances of Switzerland being at war this time next year are slim, so the organisers will be relieved.

ReadySetSit · 12/05/2024 00:08

It is dreadful to be fair. All the political hoo-ha this year was pathetic. You ‘punish’ your enemies by giving nil points not by protesting and turning your backs. Get with the programme! 😆

VisitationRights · 12/05/2024 00:08

Olly was shite. The public have spoken, nil points to the U.K.

BebbanburgIsMine · 12/05/2024 00:11

Ukraine had by far the best song this year.

Switzerland was just terrible, can't believe they got so many votes.

UK was just dreadful too.

He wasn't great, but there were others that were worse and got more points.

Oh come on! Seriously? Irish entry was like a stroppy teenager saying ‘I’m l, like, an emo non-binary vampire, and I’m SO edgy and SO rebellious and so NOT a middle class drama kid. Are you shocked, Mum?’

StaunchMomma · 12/05/2024 00:12

Ollie was absolutely in no way the best.

Nowhere near, in fact.
