Collymore Posted 13 May 2017 Share Posted 13 May 2017 It's tonight. Nothing really stands out as a winner. UK's entry is relatively good as there are some absolute shockers and at least she can sing. Obviously won't stand a chance though and is 50/1 Portugal and Italy are bookies favourite. Italy's is a pile of shit IMO and the Portuguese one is a bit odd and neither of them are in English. Next favourite is then Bulgaria and it's just a bit naff Sweden and Belgium is the next on the bookies list. Go any further and you're getting into 50/1 shots...

Vacamion Posted 13 May 2017 Share Posted 13 May 2017 Europe hated us enough before Brexit. We don't form part of a bloc of countries voting for each other (The Balkans, Scandinavia, Former Eastern Bloc, Benelux). We always send unknowns, rather than our front rank popular music stars. Nul points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. It's about exposure, Croatian singers are going to be better-known in Serbia for example, and vice versa. Also I don't think a country's performance is an indication of their popularity in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not allied with anyone, nor are Germany and France, that's why we all do poorly. The former yugoslav countries have a bloc, as do all the ones that used to be russia, there's the viking empire with Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark etc.; All we've got is the Irish and a few ex pats on the costa del sol.

Eh, this year I can see it being the case. Russia have always been the pantomime villain, they pushed it too far by trying to send a singer who performed in Crimea during the annexation, not entering through Ukranian channels, while the competition is in Ukraine. With our general arrogance towards the rest of Europe, we will end up filling that role this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk17 Posted 13 May 2017 Share Posted 13 May 2017 Totally with you on Italy....don't understand its almost unbackable favouritism whatsoever. But then again I'm Australian and we're in Eurovision for the third year in a row so I guess logic possibly goes out the window with this comp...

Vacamion Posted 13 May 2017 Share Posted 13 May 2017 When did socks go out of fashion? I missed THAT memo. Nearly all the men this evening are sockless. Given that they are mostly cavorting and dancing about, the shoe cupboards of Kyiv will be stinking tonight... Give me a good pair of woolen socks, any day.
