Eurovision (Time To Stop It?)

I can't help but feel it's becoming more of a joke.

Years ago, I used to watch it every year. Get the family together, sit back and have a laugh (usually at other nations expense). Now, there's some actually good songs but most are poorly performed, at least in my opinion. The last song I enjoyed, were 'We are the Winners of Eurovision' by LT United.

For me this one song, it symbolized the event. It's quite fun, simple but most importantly 'you have to win vote for winners'.

Actually, I laughed my head off and joined in. I think they deserved more votes and credit, yet we all know that nations vote for the neighbouring/friendly nations. What with all the politics in europe!

Personally, I would scrap the contest. It's no longer fun for me and we're getting desperate as a nation to get people to vote for us (almost as bad as Ireland).

I didn't watch it, so I am catching up now but Bonnie Taylor's performance was terrible in my opinion. I honestly thought she had been drinking at first! Her video, when originally announced was pretty good and the lyrics are sound. Very well written song, though her performance is wooden and well quite boring. Thoughts?

Personally i miss Terry Wogan's commentary.That was the only thing that made the programme watchable apart from some of the bizarre costumes and comical performers. Even if we entered a really good song it wouldn't stand a chance because of the politics involved.

I understand Bonnie performed live, this was recorded in the studio and I might be taking this a little too seriously but her performance wasn't convincing. This is why I thought she'd do much better.

Personally I thought she'd do better, despite it being impossible for us to win.

I have to say I havent watched Eurovision for donleys years but I think its a bit old now. Let's face it very few of the votes are song based, it's all political. It just nails home the fact that us and ze Germans are the most hated nations on Europe (and Ireland this year!)

I used to love watching, my wife has always hated it, this year I started to watch it but gave up halfway through, I just couldn't be bothered.

All the usual countries vote for each other every year it's a farce now.

I kept popping back in the hope there would be a decent 'standout' song on. Boring!

I never watched it until i went to Joe's parents house... then i thought it was quite funny with some of the odd costumes and songs.

I don't watch it anymore... in fact i didn't even know it was on until my mother in law mentioned it.

As others have said... countries vote for their neighbours and countries they get on with, not for what song they prefer...
