The Official Eurovision 2014 thread.

Ok guys the Eurovision semi-finals are under way and some cracking songs (good and bad) have been performed.

Who does everyone think will win?

Put a cheeky bet on Ukraine as Europe may sympathise with them.

Favourite song is the Netherlands so far, reminds me of Lady Anabellum.

by Steffan Thu May 08, 2014 10:59 am

Will any UKIP voters be watching that is the main question...

by Duty281 Thu May 08, 2014 11:22 am

Nah, don't think so Steffan.

I suppose one of those made-up countries from Eastern Europe will win.

The East european women who give the points out from their respective countries are always stunning.

by Dave. Sat May 10, 2014 7:55 am

The last great UK song was Love Shine a Light.

Best Eurovision song was Rock 'n' Roll Kids for Ireland in 1994.

by skyeman Sat May 10, 2014 7:02 pm

And from not me alas, but will the Ukraine and Russia be giving each other 12 points this time?

by Duty281 Sat May 10, 2014 7:34 pm

Isn't Graham Norton a sweetie?

Or... isn't Graham Norton a man who wants to make you put your foot through the television screen? Repeatedly.

by skyeman Sat May 10, 2014 8:09 pm

I must admit, i really like Mr Norton. Bang on comments for Eurovision night.

The good % of Europe will never vote for us and he say's so. Well done Norton.

by Dave. Sat May 10, 2014 8:17 pm

I'm watching it on RTE. You get it in HD automatically.

by Dave. Sat May 10, 2014 8:35 pm

Really liked Iceland!

by skyeman Sat May 10, 2014 8:44 pm

Ireland and the UK will not win for a long time with the current voting system. Even if the songs/singers are regarded as the best by their peers. Shame

We should stop putting the millions into it.

by skyeman Sat May 10, 2014 8:45 pm

Gosh, that sounds much like the EU Wink

by Dave. Sat May 10, 2014 9:00 pm

Have we had a better entry since Love Shine A Light though? I think not.

If Molly wins, i will support the EU. Very Happy

by skyeman Sat May 10, 2014 10:47 pm

This voting is beyond contempt. Pull out now.

by Duty281 Sat May 10, 2014 10:51 pm

Right which European country has the most neighbours? I'll go for them to win.

If only we weren't an island nation...but then, how would we rule the waves?

Rule the waves or win Eurovision? It's a tough one...

by Duty281 Sat May 10, 2014 10:54 pm

Good lord, that Russian woman was a stunner.

by skyeman Sat May 10, 2014 10:54 pm

Come on Western Europe.

Russia getting the expected boos.

by Duty281 Sat May 10, 2014 10:57 pm

France have never forgiven us for Agincourt...that's the problem there.

Some have been for a while, but 90% of the winners and those within 10 places in the last 10 years. Do you think they have been better?

Let's face it. It is a friends vote. Pull out.

by **Hero** Sun May 11, 2014 12:18 am

Austria big on the friends list of Europe then? Forgiven for kicking WW1?

Ah but that was Austria/Hungaria. Sorry to be pedantic.

by Duty281 Sun May 11, 2014 12:27 am

This is a competition for Europeans, not the United Kingdom.

We're not part of that European landmass, any more than we are with Africa.

Let the Europeans compete in this contest, and we Brits shall play cricket.

Chin, chin.

I don't think it is, I think that is a myth. Yes some countries vote a certain way but it doesn't dictate the winner. In the last 10 years Germany, Greece, Finland, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Austria and Norway have won. If it was who had the most friends then the same countries would win but they don't and it usually is the best act on the night that wins.
