Eurovision 2015

Why do UK even bother?

It's not entering Eurovision that is the problem, The people that inhabit this wonderful island are the problem. On the whole Europe hates us because we are ignorant c***s, look at the result of our GE. They are right.

LMAO!  If we'd voted in Miliband we'd have won Eurovision.

Maybe think a little harder on this one. I don't think you've grasped it.

Please see above. Probably a rant for another time.

Of course.  Let us remember you are a poster who was "proud" of the UK rejecting right wing politics when Tony Blair was in power for three terms.   As long as it has a red rosette eh?

Kush, I think it's time you sat yourself down and watched Frozen.

i didn't even realise this was on earlier, switching channels and saw it.  Why on earth were Australia in it?

60th anniversary of Eurovision, so they thought they'd do something wacky, basically.

[Doobs]

Also looks like after all the piss taking aaron got the last laugh.

Cant see any reason for some of the voting otherwise.

I did see the smiley, but this is kind of mildly interesting. 

Our phone vote voted for the gay kiss and the Poles*, but our phone vote meant Russia jumped a place on our jury vote.  Aaron right about the gay bias of the San Marino jury? 

And how are we splitting the anti war votes from the gay votes in Europe.  Not sure what we can learn from it for next year though.

* presumably Nigel Farage has a theory about this?

Its a rare breed on Blonde for anyone to ever admit they could possibly be wrong.....

I think Russia will likely never win again if they couldn't win this time. They had a top entry and with regional bias they should have hosed up last night. The competition will be won by the vanilla countries for the foreseeable future. I mean UK could reform the Beatles and merge them with Abba, One Direction, Queen and Elton John and still lose. Probably wouldn't top 5 either.

I can see Putin wiping San Marino off the map after that outrage

Wasn't second a fair result for a song that was 16-1 fifth-favourite earlier in the week?

Wasn't it as simple as the best three songs finished first, second and third, same as usual?

If they won, then the whole of Europe goes there! Would have been funny!

no, they would have chosen a european country to host

[Chompy]

Germany would have hosted if Australia had won.
