Chucky Mama Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Can't wait for Eurovision tonight We usually import MIL to watch with us but she is not able to come this year so we will be on the phone to each other. Jedward or Blue I like Blue but think their song is awful. I doubt it will be either to be honest but it would be great if Blue won though as would love to try and get tickets to watch live if it come to the UK, it would be hilarious. Apparently they are very popular in Europe so there are more hopeful of not finishing last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Not me. It's not the same without Katie Boyle. I hope the Frenchman wins. Hang on though .... he can actually sing, so that is bound to count against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Nu uh,not me. Eurovision just isn't my thing,I am afraid That bloke Lee from Blue comes into the shop very often & is a right muppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I haven't even heard our song yet! Might have to watch for the Jedward cringe factor - for their sakes, I keep hoping that they do something well, but am always disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 A friend of mine tends to throw an annual eurovision party, where we drink copious quantities of booze, eat a takeaway and have a sweepstake on which of us will have the most points at the end (we each pick a few countries to support). Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ooh, didn't realise it was tonight, yippee I've got crisps and pop in so will be on the sofa watching Hope there's something like Lordii form one of the Eastern European/Scandinavian countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 We used to always watch it but it became so, so, so long. We tend to dip in and out of it now. I watch it knowing that its always highly unlikely (given the way the rest of Europe vote) that we will ever win again. I do quite enjoy the commentary now, especially from Graham Norton. Is he doing it this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I do quite enjoy the commentary now, especially from Graham Norton. Is he doing it this year? Yes . We will be watching it, as usual, until 11:15, at the ready with our own printed off scorecards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Loved Finland's song but then I am an all round Finland fan I havent watched it for years - I blame Joybelle for egging me on in the car on the way to the Omlet meet earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Denmark is tip of my list so far. Estonia I thought was awful. Jedward er...I don't know what to say. I felt like someone had spiked my fizzy water Thank goodness the backing group sang most it for them - hate to say it was very entertaining though.

Seagazer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I was hoping the fact that I've had a couple of glasses of vino meant that Jedward did a good job but secretly I quite liked it. Gosh there has been some real howlers. Italy are currently hurting my ears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Felt like hiding behind the sofa when Blue sang, They were a bit weak I thought and so nervous it showed in their singing. Moldova are hilarious, imagine them and Jedward on the same stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just shows how our tastes differ - I liked the music from Switzerland but not the singing, didn't seem to match. Thought Blue sounded bit underwhelming. I've liked hearing the song on the radio. OH didn't like it at all. Quite enjoying Moldovia. They look a bit bonkers.

Chucky Mama Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Moldova have gone from 150/1 to 20/1. You are obviously not the only ones that liked them. I like Azerbajan, Slovenia and Spain (plus Denmark & Hungary - Germany was almost too good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Well I've voted for Denmark (2), Moldova and Iceland. OH really liked Germany too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
