TigerTedd Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Did you see the Swedish guy’s face when he realised he hadn’t won! Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 We didn't deserve to come last, our song was a bit rubbish but there were plenty worse, too political. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, the latter bit is completely opaque as it was boiled down to a single number. The range was massive from 0 for Germany to 250-ish for Spain and Italy. We got 3 which condemned us to last place..... Unless all the public's are as politically bent as the juries...... Did you hear the booing when the camera cut to the Iceland group and they were holding Palestine banners and flags? Didn't go down well at all funnily..

Didn’t they refer to the Greeks as their neighbours? Completely ignoring all the Muslim countries between them and Greece. You can’t just ignore the fact that Palestine exists. And if Israel’s In it, why isn’t Palestine invited to be in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 In a sad final twist, the UKs score was reduced by 5 points following the identification of an error. Boooo.... We're even laster than we were before ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48375560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the one from last year, though, which was in the bottom 3 also I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The BBC need to stop subsidizing the contest. Then our awful songs can be eliminated at the semi-final stage and we won't have to worry about always finishing last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The UK has produced some of the best music anywhere in the world. Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Floyd and Queen - just to mention a few. You could send Little Mix or One Direction, and we would still not win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 A big part of our problem with this competition is that, for many countries, their entries are established "stars" and them entering in Eurovision isn't seen as negative to their credibility. What we should do is get someone like Erasure to enter for the UK. They've got a huge european fanbase - and importantly amongst the gay community. They're still producing some cracking pop tunes as well, and wouldn't be damaged by association with it. If they can't do well, then we might as well leave & take our ball with us I reckon.
