To be annoyed at how bad our Eurovision song is?

We have any number of really talented songwriters, singers and musicians in the UK. And yet the best we could come up with is a few minutes of what I could only describe as sonic chaos with three girls yelling
what
the
hell
just
HAPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENED
over and over again.

It’s not even that it’s boring, or not fun or quirky enough. It’s actually annoying, and I find myself getting more and more irritated every time I hear it which thanks to Radio 2 playing it every hour or so is distressingly often.

How have we gone from the fab Sam Ryder to Olly Alexander cavorting in a dirty toilet and now this crap??

My Sky cut out just before Finland started

Mine too but I've downloaded it and watched it since.

I wasn't a fan of Finland at all, tbh. I find the over-sexualised stuff a bit shit for Eurovision.

There was an interview afterwards where one of the hosts took a fondue over to her and she was dripping it all over her lips and pouting at the camera.

I'm not a prude, but just wasn't a fan of either her performance or the over-sexualised attitude.

In fairness, she's not the only one. When the Malta lass was grinding against one of her dancers and humping their back, I did a bit of an eye roll.

I just think that Eurovision should be family-friendly entertainment and there's been a real lurch away from that recently. Weirdly, I'm less fussed about an innocent bare bum (last year) than grinding, Make of that what you will 😂

It's very tiresome, it's like nobody has ever been gay or had sex before. There should be an approved list of do's and don't.

NO to
Arse cheeks
Humping in space toilets
Dropping the mic stand to the ground and straddling it
Standing on a rock
Songs about dead dogs in space

YES to
Memorable tunes (fast or slow, I'm not fussy)
Push the boat out a bit on the choreography (or staging if you've gone for a ballad)
A nod to your folk scene/heritage, bonus points for a balalaika
Mad costumes

I thought our staging was terrible- 3 girls prancing round a wonky chandelier 😂

How very dare you refer to dear old Wizbit in that way.

Yes, his glory days are behind him - and his self-reinvention comeback naturist phase may not be the best-advised strategy - but he is a national treasure who does not deserve such dismissive rudeness!
