Is Eurovision pointless?

Should the format be changed as western countries obviously have no chance of getting votes.

It doesnt go on the talent of the act anymore.

By the way I am not saying our act was any good :lol:

You still have to have a good act to win it. You can't really say a Western Country won't win it cos I guess Finland counts as that? And they won it last year. Over the 90's Western Europe dominated it.

There is still political voting which is blatently obvious but there isn't many who give max points for crap songs though (Like Malta giving us 12 points? WTF).

Damn right i agree 100% there, you can guarantee the scandinavians will vote for eachother as well as the Baltics ect ect ect.

I didnt watch it, cant stand the programme although i have seen Scooch trying to plug their act on other tv shows....what an embarrasment to the UK! :roll:

unfortunately I watched some of it - about the first half hour and then the last half hour

have to be honest and say that I nearly pissed myself laughing at the Irish entry cos it was nearly as awful as the UK one, which was dreadful and embarrassing! :P




































but then again, the one that actually won it was pretty shite as well :?

I had a quiet night in on Saturday, just playing guitar and drinking beer, then noticed Eurovision was on, didn't think it was on for another couple of months?

So I watched it, the whole shebang. Every song, every single last song, was f***ing shite.

The blonde tart at the end interviewing the singers, was a bint, and i'd have liked to shoot her in the face......with some baby gravy, and thena f***ing bullet.

Terry Wogan made my Saturday night complete, funny, funny bastard.

The voting was comedy, I was hoping we'd end up with zilch, one because our act was wank, and 2, because f**k everyone else. If they don't like us, they can jog on. We could have had anyone performing that night and we'd have ended up near the bottom of the pile.

What does bug me, is how the UK continue to pile money into the shite, to keep it going. If we pulled out our funds, it wouldn't survive.

It's a simple choice really.

TBF i do quite like Eurovision, but it has got stupid over the last few years! i mean its nothin to do with the song, its who likes who!

I think that the Italians had the right idea, not bothering to enter. It should be al about cheesy music but it has got abit stupid! I think we should not bother entering next year and see what happens without our Money! See if easern europe can afford to even run it. That should sort out this ridiculous voting!
