Never Kyiv Up On UK: It's Eurovision 2017!

Come one come all and welcome to Suffolk's annual Eurovision bonanza!

Brexit smexit as we join Mel, Scott and Graham for another year of big ballads, unusual visuals and quite frankly bizarre promos.

This year we are in Kyiv in Ukraine after they won with a not so subtle dig at Putin, what will this year bring?

How the hell did this win last year? And just how bad were the other entries?

OublietteBravo · 09/05/2017 21:38

Ukraines win in 2016 was definitely political.

I just gave Latvia their only vote.

Oh, I remember the wailing now.

RedToothBrush · 09/05/2017 21:39

Do you think we will get any pints this year? Or even just booed?

I think a lot of pints will be consumed. Points not so much

I like Montenegro the best performance-wise. DH Moldova.
Song wise I loved Belgium but live/staging wasn't great.
Singing well live makes a huge difference. Still feel for the UK when Lee had a sore throat. It should have placed higher.

Not to be biased but Aus should've won last year. Grin

We would've let the UK host it though. Wink

RedToothBrush · 09/05/2017 21:41

Thanks Guys! I'd never remember which song was which without doing lists, but you lot have most of the ideas for them.

VanillaSugar · 09/05/2017 21:41

Please can I join in? Can I be Czech?
(as in my head I think I look like her, but DH says I don't, bstrd)

SuperBeagle · 09/05/2017 21:41

Moldova is my fav of the night.

dillite · 09/05/2017 21:41

I imagine that we will get loads on pints thins year to make up the lack of points.

GinSwigmore · 09/05/2017 21:41

I don't mind last year's winner but DH has gone to get the babybel.

SmilingButClueless · 09/05/2017 21:41

Enough Brits in Australia to give us some points if they're allowed to vote

Only points we're likely to get I think!

I'm sober tonight. Believe it or not. DH is out. Thursday though...

GinSwigmore · 09/05/2017 21:42

vanilla do you have the bacofoil dress though?!

OublietteBravo · 09/05/2017 21:44

I really like Belgium's song the best. But the staging wasn't great.

RedToothBrush · 09/05/2017 21:44

Its always the female vocal ballads that seem to get voted through.

And the crazy ones only get voted for by the Brits.
