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?
I don’t know! Who cares??
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 🇪🇺🇬🇧🎶🎵
That uk entry looks like a failed pub singer

Talking absolute bollox again son..
Shall I put my house car and family on Ukraine winning?
Virtue signalling makes it favourite I think
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.
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.
Thanks to you and Bloop for clarifying things. I think my hatred of all things Eurovision stems from being forced to watch our entry in 1966 as a ten year old as a punishment for some long forgotten misdemeanour- it had a traumatic effect on me and I don’t think I’ve ever fully recovered from it.
We used to love it as kids growing up.
Feck the music, was all about the scores.
Power to all our friends, Cliff-tastic!
We always seemed to be in with a shout of winning it, until in recent years being all political. Perhaps it was back then too.
Apparently we are one of the favourites to win it this year.
It's not a bad song but has anything really changed, especially politically, to warrant the optimism?
Well I have a job xx
Just after the black lives matter stuff all kicked off you said that you were a black man and were sick and tired of us whiteys trying to fight your battles . You said that the stop and search of a UK black athlete, her partner and their little baby by the metropolitan police was clearly a case of her playing the race card and of liberal white types jumping in feet first . I have a few black friends and maybe we move in different circles but you seemed to be doing a very good job of defending police brutality which given your apparent background was very odd . Sean Bailey the Conservative wannabee mp is the same sort of ilk . Recently several metropolitan police officers have been charged over those wrongful stop and searches . So either us liberal snowflake types were wrong or you were .
No 1. I don’t know what the fu*k you’re on about.
No 2. Why did you think of bringing up all that guff on this thread and another thread?
No 3. You seem to think you’re an expert on every topic under the sun, and anything you post is gospel, where in reality you are a washed up little fart who appears to get offended on behalf of others on a daily basis.
