FWJ Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The only European competition that matters. The first semi-final is tomorrow at 8pm the second in Thursday and the Final on Saturday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0002fsf Israel is in it because it is in the EBU (European Broadcasting Union). Australia is in because they have a special invite as it’s so popular there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 My BDS stance means I'll not be paying any attention to Eurovision this year, which is a shame as it's one of the best drunken nights in of the year.

peter_hmfc Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Australia deserving 1st place but the competition is weak. Estonia 2nd and a big gap until 3rd with Iceland. Estonia going for a Tom Dice style song, he did very well himself (6th in 2010 for perennially unfancied Belgium).
