Looks like this year everyone has gone full gay club.
The Dalai Lama has just announced that Olly Alexander is most welcome in Tibet after the ESC Final! He has been quoted as saying: "I took an interest in this poor kid from the UK. Everyone in Europe now says that he sings Flat and Off-Key, but Atonal music is very popular over here in our mountainous area's. We are willing to offer him refuge for Years and Years to come!" Olly's management has not yet responded, but it's safe to say that this is an opportunity he can't miss!
Uk is a music superpower, i don't understand why they send garbage year after year :/

Because the people that actually stream and listen to the music in the UK don’t get a say in who or which song represents us … that’s why we get an underrated basically unknown singer who then pens an underrated song.. last year with Mae this year with Olly

They should make the prize of the voice, to represent the UK in eurovision. I like watching it but Sam Ryder aside, we've been rubbish since the 00's began. There should be reform so we actually take this seriously. We have so many good artists
See you all in Ireland next year for the grand finale.
i like the Luxembourg entry!
Both are fun, good news to listen from

The issue that I have with Croatia on top in the odds, is that I think the juries won´t place it high enough for it to win. If I look at the songs there will be at least 6 songs above of him (purely from a jury point of view). We know how it ended last year with Finland. It didn't win because the juries almost all chose Loreen. Croatia need to at least be third with the juries and then win the televote to get it. How realistic is that?. There are also quite an amount of songs that can get some good points from the televote as well. Its so hard to guess this year XD

I would call it risking ending up bottom 5. I love most of it but straight people especially north europeans are very conservative😢 with nudity and and gay behaviour. Add two guys humping and they will be outraged Same as with Spains Zorra the effeminate😢 male dancers showing their butts willl ailenate many voting f😂or them. Its a conservativenot a perfomance. More in keeping with Gay Pride. humping. homosexualidad
If Croatia wins, the event will most likely be held in Zagreb, which is, unfortunately not on the coast 🙂

Eurovision, the U.K.’s annual opportunity to be as bitter, negative, miserable and unsupportive of our own act as possible, unless we actually do well and then of course everyone thinks they’re the best thing since sliced bread. No doubt if Graham wasn’t forced to be nice about our entries he’d be as rude as he is about other people’s. Why on Earth do we expect anyone to like us when we don’t even like ourselves? I love Olly, it’s great having him representing us, I just hope the BBC has hired extra switchboard operators to handle all the complaints from Mr Angry who didn’t actually watch the show but read it was a bit too gay and naughty in the Daily Mail.

My comment wasn’t specifically about Olly Alexander, it’s about the British attitude towards Eurovision as a whole, which is generally very poor every single year. On social media people will comment negatively about a show they don’t even watch. The most popular comments are “it’s rubbish, I haven’t watched for years”, “I thought we’d left the EU”, “Nil points” - although that’s generally spelled ‘pwah’. Personally I do think Olly has taken it a step too far in the staging and not considered the audience, my point was that Mr Angry will complain in the Daily Mail without ever having watched it. Anyway, a pointless discussion really, nobody wants to read or comprehend anything beyond 3 words these days.
It ain't happening.
Ohhhhh dear. Olly's new staging had me moving him from my top 5, I do like the song, to my #36, Bambi is still my #37. Baby Lasagna, Ukraine, and Italy are my #1, #2, & #3. I for sure will never be bored by Baby L.

As a German: It's a yearly Tradition of us to hate on our own Act (with the Exception of Lord of the Lost because they're awesome) and our Staging certainly isn't great, but if there is one Staging that is by far the worst it's the UK's. If you feel the Need to simulate fxxking on Stage it screams Desperation.

Our song is really boring and forgettable and badly sung too in the live performances. The staging is pretty impressive. Hes up against too many other "queer" performers with better songs and sung better too!! For me the ukraine entry is hauntingly beautiful well sung/rapped and the staging very immotive indeed. Brought tears to my eyes

I really like Nemo's song but that bloody awful shorts/skirt thing he wore was bloomin awful, cheap looking material, awful style, awful colour, its like something my sister wouldve purchased from the $2 shop and ran up on the sewing machine half an hour gefore going clubbing in the 80's. Surely they could have had found some material that was a bit more glam. Like the bloomin awful clothes Olly's team had to wear? 🤯😭

Olly is an OK if slightly overrated artist. The song is a forgettable dud. The desperate to shock staging is self-indulgent, lewd, crude and vulgar.
