It's bizarre. Our song was sh1te so no surprises. But Lithuania should be top 5 easily.

I'm more disappointed that Hungary only has 10 points

dpinsussex · Post by **dpinsussex** » Sat May 12, 2018 11:14 pm

Only half way thru the jury. All the public to go ffs.

This part of the vote is based on musical professionals opinions isn't it?
How's fat chicken lady doing so well?

Lithuania 10 points. Quite right too.

They're both countries.

There was massive political voting in much of the jury voting. I thought jury voting was supposed to make it fairer?

Both inoffensive.

Portugal finshing last at their own Eurovision.

Estonia and Lithuania my 2 faves did far better from the viewer's votes. The panels dont't have a clue.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat May 12, 2018 11:38 pm

Denmark just jumped from last to 5th place

I'm glad it was Israel rather than Sweden or Austria. I'd rather a song wins for being weird rather than the country being politically correct.

it was sh***, virtually all of it, israel was a novelty song, sweden, thank god that dross didnt win, a fat michael jackson only white, and 20 years out of date.
hungry was aimed at shocking the viewers with an aldi version done to death heavy rock, it was putrid.
cyprus was a dancing idiot, shakira wannabe, and yet again years out of date.

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Sun May 13, 2018 12:22 am

The SWP though. Guys. Why aren't we talking about the Socialist Workers' Party and their Sharia Rap courts? Clearly you all are supporters if you're choosing to talk about Eurovision instead.

Hope the security arrangements are better in Israel next year.

Saara Aalto polled so low always thought she had a decent following in Europe.

fairly sure Israel security will be pretty good for some reason.

Next year should be fun .... being held in Israel !

Two bob politicians calling for boycotts, artists refusing to take part, security issues, Orthodox Jews complaining about the amount of female flesh on view..... it wouldn't surprise me if the Israeli's declined to host the event, there have been several precedents for this...

I caught a bit of it near the end on YouTube but then the stream ended, so now I'm watching the rest of the "eurovision song contest" on RedTube. I can post a link, if you'd like?

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Sun May 13, 2018 8:21 am

It was the usual drivel, full of terrible acts and atrocious dialogue.......but as usual I watched it from start to finish with my twitter feed open all the way through it.

I don't think anyone on there, or anyone at all (apart from the Cypriot girl) was taking it remotely seriously. Its just a good laugh. Probably why we are so **** at it these days to be honest.

Is Israel in Europe now? I missed that bit of expansion. Are they replacing us? will Iran be allowed a contestant to even things up in the Middle East?

It's to do with Israel Broadcasting Authority being part of The European Broadcasting Union which it joined in 1973

Australia on the other hand.....
