Carl Sagan Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Once upon a time I wrote the script for Junior Eurovision for ITV! Music should bring people together not divide them. People shouldn't be hating on a 20 year old young woman for nothing she's done, and I hope she's able to sing her heart out, like all the other competitors. This year should be about a celebration of ABBA, 50 years on, while jumping around the room to Baby Lasagna who will win the contest by a landslide, deservedly so (maybe with Igor and Aljosa cheering them on): Edited May 10 by Carl Sagan GB SPORTS, Crewton and Miggins 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The guy in shorts bopping about losing his bits. That says it all. I’ve only watched the clip once, honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called it the 'Eurovision Bong Contest'. I never went. Let me know if he ever brings them back Eddie, Mucker1884 and Carl Sagan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour is that a member of Israeli team mocked his parents who died when he was a child. He is alleged to have hit one of them. If he stays in the competition I wonder if he gets the sympathy vote? If he is kicked out I wonder if any other acts threaten to quit?

B4’s Sister Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I went to one of the semi finals at Eurovision in Liverpool last year. It was brilliant. I’ve never seen so many sequins before. Had great seats. Spent a night in the Eurovision village and saw the Lightening Seeds, local acts and some djs. Met Richie Anderson from Strictly. My favourite act last year was Belgium. Will be having a some tapas and a bottle of wine while watching it from the sofa this year. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 So perhaps it's Joost a case of everyday misogyny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Accused by a female member of the production crew of inappropriate behavior, whatever that means and then the accusation is treated by EBU as proven who then ban Joost from further participation. What happens if in the legal process Joost is found innocent of the charges against him, I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not my cup of tea but if it brings joy to that many people, I can’t see how it’s a bad thing. I'm not sure joy is perhaps what it brings people. Maybe being spoonfed gruel is a relative joy, but perhaps they would really love something they don't know exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 As anyone already voted. Apparently the new voting system allows people to vote before the song is even performed. Which will probably not make an iota of difference to the result. We'll get the usual Sweden and Norway voting for each other, the same with Greece and Cyprus and the UK voting for Ireland. These are just a few of the countries that will always vote for their neighbours irrelevant of how good or bad the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really countries voting for the neighbours though as such....it's migrant populations voting for their home country. Except the Greece-Cyprus thing.... And people in N.Ireland can vote for Ireland. That's why Russia was such a good bet for the win before they were kicked out...they have populations is so many other Eastern European countries. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
