    I don't mind Justin, he seems like a decent guy.

    The singer of that 'Lush Life' song is Swedish?

    For a long time I thought it was Rihanna :o

    Ok, I'm calling bull$hit on getting in a big US superstar for the half time show.

    This isn't the Superbowl FFS !!!

    :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    It's supposed to be something cringe worthy and awful from the host nation.

    Them's the rules !!!

    (Riverdance the exception, obvs)

    Pretty sure the bands weren't. Maybe the song writers or the bands. Or one member.

    This is sh*te so far. This wouldn't be out of place on a sh*tty Saturday night talk show.

    Compared to the interval acts in the two semis, this is a huge let down, and the first mis-step in what has been a fantastically hosted contest this year.

    Justin managed to plug his song, album, film and employer Dreamworks in that very short interview. His agents will be pleased.

    This is a crap song. Why he's on beggars belief.
    Coz beggars can be choosers
