The one and only time I’ll mention bloody Eurovision on here.
How come Ireland, who I heard has, historically, the best record of any country in the event, has to qualify for the Final and the UK, whose entries tend to be a source of National and international embarrassment every year, don’t?

Because there's about 5 or 6 countries, including the UK, who pay for it every year, so don't have to qualify.

The UK are part of the “Big 5”. They are countries that provide the most funding towards the European Broadcasting Union, of which Eurovision is a programme the EBU produces.
Therefore since qualification started, caused by the growth in countries joining the EBU and therefore Eurovision, the Big 5 are excused qualification and go straight through to the final.
Which is fair, seeing as they pay for it.
And what a day ahead. FA Cup Final AND Eurovision!!
Gonna be a belter. And there is not an ounce of cynical sarcasm in that statement, can’t wait. Best day of the year 🇪🇺🇬🇧🎶🎵

Heard him and the song for the first time yesterday, I was quite surprised, I though the song was ok and the singer had a decent voice.

I’m just surprised there’s something Sludge doesn’t like, he’s usually so tolerant of other people’s interests
Re: The one and only time I’ll mention bloody Eurovision on here.
Complete waste of time. Too political nowadays. It’s all worked out before the first song is sung. I wouldn’t waste any of your valuable leisure time on it.

You don’t have to apologise for starting a thread.
For what it’s worth, the UK entry this yr is a decent song and the singer has a great vocal range imo.
Sod what everyone else thinks about the topic. Be your own man.
Re: The one and only time I’ll mention bloody Eurovision on here.
The voting's actually been a lot less political in the last few years. You used to know that Serbia would give 12 to Croatia and vice versa, Greece and Cyprus, Norway and Sweden etc, but not so much now.

At some point there will be an act comprising of metal and lycra. Thought that was your sort of thing?

When voting was by jury only a lot of the votes were more predictable. Now that the public can also vote its alot less so.
