Eurovision Song Contest 2016

Sad stuff, Sweden

CFlat

Just listening to Justin Timberlake and with the quality of his backing singers he doesn't even need to sing himself. Most of the time he wasn't anyway.

Mans should come on wearing a crown and quote an obscure EBU rule which states he can challenge this year's winner to a dance off to see who is the real winner.

Did I mention Joe from Joe and Jake is Welsh?

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

I remember a Eurovision half time show from a million years ago which had a guy shooting an apple off the top of the head of a woman (Switzerland?). My 10 year old self was looking on in shock.

I am too lazy to switch back to Graham.

My head doesn't hurt from Graham's explanation... which must mean it's better.

Given the way it's going so far tonight they'll get Bruno Mars on to do a duet/dance off no pants off with Mans.

That Israel song is catchy

Poland and Australia also not too bad

Yeah they were doing William Tell, remember it well. Thanks to Celine Dion winning in Dublin.

Was hoping for more references to Petra's vibrator during this broadcast; sorely disappointed thus far.

I bet the Maltese woman isn't even pregnant.

ProudDUB was being sarcastic, as clear from the second part of his post. Get a grip on reality.

That's what superstars do, they perform. If you don't like it you're entitled to say that, but forget about this "advertisement for a yank" nonsense.

Oooh Mans with no pan(t)s would be a perfectly acceptable addition to the show

Austria, Australia and Russia are the ones that have caught my attention during the recap.

I remember the Brit entrant Richard Balls.



Seriously.

Are they doing the musical number again?

Rumour is, Petra was sorely disappointed last night, so won't be mentioning it tonight.









Sorry.

So you're saying she's a Malteaser?

Timberlake is most probably backstage still trying to work out why its called Eurovision ......

Think he said he'd be raising a glass to Terry Wogan when the points are being announced

I like Marty !!

Are they not even going to let the girl sing?

Their best song in years but will probably be in the bottom half.

I'm sure the bookmakers don't even listen to the song at this stage. They look at popularity across europe, computer polls and so on among demographics that will vote, that is the only thing that matters. By now they virtually know already who'll win.

Caoimhgh1n

Wasn't the Young Eurovision thing in Irish this year?

Busi_Girl08

So I learned a lot tonight.

We're all made of stars.
Frans is sorry, but isn't actually.
I no longer have retinas
Australia will rule us all.
Sweden have taken over France in smugness
Eurovision will never be the same again
Marty needs to build a bridge.

BoJack Horseman

Get on with the Machiavellian snake-pit of geopolitical intrigue!

(or 'voting' if you prefer).
