It’s been on for 53 years. Does this make it the worlds longest running international tv show?
weither you love/hate it for its beautiful presenters, exotic places, cheesy songs which (barring the occasional oddity) would never been choosen as mainline songs ANYwhere, thinly veiled politics or biting wit of Terry wogan chances are you’ve been drawn in by this carcrash fantastica at some point.
watch it live online. Let it pull you in again with the Elvis wannabes, the fiery dress dancers of turkey and even the jonny logan impersonator of Belarus. After all, they’ve had 50 years practise on making a spectle of themselves
not sold on watching? boys. one word. Tatu
And Supergypsy!! Hahaha =D
oh yes. it’s all good/bad
the show gives me complete split personality disorder!
irelands on second on saturday so at least the pleasure/pain will be over quickly.
yeah second is grand because after cringing from our own entry it’ll be easier to laugh at all the others
weirdly though I think this year’s irish entry will do okay because it sounds just eurovisiony enough…
I’m really confused, is this the actual final? This is usually a serious laugh to watch, especially somewhere like the George.
no it’s the semi’s. batch one was tonight. next batch saturday.
the George is MAYHEM for these. it feels like the gay equivalent of international football in there!
Nah it’s the first semi-final.
Next one is on thursday, Ireland are in that.
The actual one is on Saturday I think…
This was the first semi-final. The next semi-final is on Thursday when Ireland will be competing. Then the final is on Saturday,
I used to *love* with the Eurovision when I was a kid. Then we stopped winning it
ETA: oops Dr Manfattan beat me to it.
@Glinner is hosting a Eurovision Twitter ‘happening’ in the vein of BadMovieClub at twumpet.com. I am anticipating some biting commentary and large laughs.

next semi is tonight. get your flags ready
my moneys on the usual formula:
soul full singer + ballad that can be sung again in a near tear warble = winner
