Dalmore 91 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) The juries made me hate this contest. They showed their political directions in the last contest and didn't let people's choice to win the competition. In my opinion it should be people who decide who the winner is, not 4-5 chairmen from each country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't watched it since around 2007 when Lordi won so things might have changed. Same here, Lordi winning it was also a breath of fresh air haha. Eurovision was always more or less political though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nudge 7,787 Posted April 24, 2017 The only Eurovision song that I really like and actually listen to it once in a while is Netherlands entry in 2014: It should have won too instead of the stupid Conchita Wurst garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fairy In Boots 528 Posted April 24, 2017 just going to be a back slapping exercise for the EU countries, we could put out any number of our musical acts that get continent wide smash hits and still come in 20 odd places back behind some gender fluid Hungarian with a Ukulele, it stopped being a serious competition years ago.

Spike 2,587 Posted May 3, 2017 France Gall was always my favourite. Some of those Gainsbourg tunes are real ear worms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no excuse for this and a few others that have been selected... It is TVE's fault though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SirBalon 2,607 Posted May 13, 2017 100% watching it because it's traditional and I'm a traditional kind of guy. Will enjoy it until the eastern European countries all lick each other's arses and forget to vote for the best song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy 4,569 Posted May 13, 2017 I'll watch it too, like ever year. Germany will be among the last 5. I guarantee it. The singer is good and pretty and all that, but the song is just too dull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
