Yet people are making excuses for it. Was it 0 point bad? Probably not, but can you say it was in anyone's top 10ish or deserving of any points? The answer is also definitely 100% no. Was the guy singing it not a songwriter /record producer who said he ‘fancied a jaunt into singing’? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's wrote a hefty number of successful songs. Should probably stick to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Bill Bailey interested in representing the UK next year, apparently. Very much in favour. Always wanted to hear the full version of Ripped Apart By Badgers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thoughts were that Conchita had let themselves go a bit Being from tiktok I would assume that it will be nil points from the judges who tend to go with the old school proper university degree music composers for the songs (ie their group of mates), but probably catchy enough to get a decent public vote dependent on the staging on the night Edited March 11, 2022 by honestly united 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been doing press all over Europe and comes across really well so hopefully that gets a few extra points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) More than zero would be a start! Worried it will be a bit of a non-event this year if Ukraine are basically guaranteed to win.

welshbairn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Not my thing at all, but the boy can sing. UK are 4th in the odds at around 10/1 with Ukraine odds on favourites of course. Bet Putin backed them in November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Canada is getting its own Eurovision next year. Disappointing that no UK broadcasters seem to have picked up the American version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Jacobsen Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I didn't really enjoy last year. I'm looking forward to this year more. Outrageous that for yet another year, P&B haven't been invited to the finals. Conspiracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 This year's Eurovision kicks off this evening with the first semi final. I've always been a Eurovision fan, but I'm particularly clued up on it this year thanks to my Eurovision-daft eight year old. Albania, Latvia, Lithuania, Switzerland, Slovenia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Moldova, Portugal, Croatia, Denmark, Austria, Iceland, Greece, Norway, and Armenia make up tonight's semi final. 10/17 to qualify. The semi finals look a bit lopsided I think - this is definitely the tougher one. Albania, Ukraine, Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Armenia are all likely qualifiers (personally I find the Portugal and Greece songs quite meh, but still...) Also Norway's entry is 'the comedy one' this year. It's two guys is wolf costumes, and that's about as far as the comedy goes unless I'm missing something. Latvia have a strong opening gambit in 'instead of meat I eat veggies and pussy', but the song (basically about being green) doesn't do much from there. I'd mark them down as unlikely to qualify alongside Switzerland, Slovenia, and Bulgaria. That leaves Lithuania, Moldova, Croatia, Denmark, Austria, and Iceland to fight out the remaining three slots in the final - a real range of styles, you could probably make a case for any of them, and probably depends a fair bit on the voting patterns of the countries who get to vote this evening. Ukraine are odds-on to win the whole thing. They'll scoop up the phone vote due to sympathy over the Russian invasion, and the song is decent enough to make it into the top 10 of a lot of juries. Sweden, Spain and the UK are probably the next most likely if the impact of the war is overstated. In the first couple of days of Russia's invasion I posted on the thread about the war that Ukraine must be a good bet to win this. It was about 6/1 at the time - I wish I'd had a bet. Armenia is my pick for an outsider to watch. It's sweet, folky, a bit Lumineers-esque. Probably hasn't made many waves among hardcore Eurovision fans, but will probably go down quite well with the casual viewers/voters who will tune in on the night. I'll get a decent payout from the bookies if it finishes in the top 4. Estonia might do a bit better than the odds suggest as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a huge Zdob Zi Zdub fan Moldova should be through tonight, and given they have finished top 10 (I think) in there other 2 outings they should be though - the video version of the song is better than the 3 minute version on the official album but should see them through. Agree on Armenia this is probably my favourite song in tonights semi so hopefully they get through. Next through is Ukraine, I really like it, reminds me a bit of Go_A that represented Ukraine last year. Normally would finish mid table but obviously huge favs though Other than that from listening to the album, Albania, Slovenia, Bulgaria (kenny logans esque), Netherlands, Croatia, Denmark, Austria, Iceland are all OK Eurovisions songs so will depend on the night who goes through. I though Switzerland, Portugal and Greece were exceptionally dull so hopefully dont make it through 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Seen the video several times for that reason too.) I hope that they make it through. Shum by Go_A was my top song from last year (from a pretty strong field overall in my opinion) - actually it's probably my favourite Eurovision entry going back several years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
