Eurovision Song Contest

Will you be watching ? 

[Raven]

No, not watched it for years.

I didn't watch it until about three  years ago .
I have always thought that it was full of weirdos in latter years with no noticeable musical talent .
But it has become horribly political .
First was about Ukraine .
Sam Ryders 'Spaceman ' was really quite good  much better than all the others.
He would have won except for the ( understandable ) sympathy votes for Ukraine .
Then after the Oct 7th massacre Israel should have won but for the upsurge of hate and biased judges .
Yet the public vote was overwhelmingly for them .
Even countries like Ireland voted for Israel showing that the Irish public are not behind their govern ments anti Israel stance .
However now several countries have withdrawn because of Israel 's inclusion , these include Spain and Ireland .
Neither will be missed as in the last years their songs have been ghastly
Especially Ireland where one would expect beautiful music from the land of the bards.
Last years entrant was diabolical in just about every way and could not really be described as music .
The ESC has become both a platform for political hatred but also of exhibitionism .

No, I don't watch it anymore and haven't done for a few years.
The  songs seem all just loud noise and rubbish, and the singers are mostly just too weird for me.

[klondike]

Not watched in years.

[Ruthio]

Won't bother
