Ffs this pair can't sing

 

And what's the boy from Years and Years representing Italy for?

 

One of the bookies' favourites, and expected to score very well in the jury votes.

Love words like this. Does Irish have anything akin to the Welsh 'hiraeth'?

 

'Cumha' would be close.  It means a variation of loss, homesickness, loneliness and grief, depending on the context.

Ukraine were a top 5 bookie's favourite log before the invasion started.

 

Their entry last year was a banger too.

Nice one. And how would you be pronouncing that? Is the 'mh' combo a weird sort of consonant diphthong?

 

Coo-ah, with stress on the first syllable and a faint hint of a 'w' sound between the syllables.

I don’t like the Ukrainian entry.  There. I said it.

 

The Dutch was good but reminded me a lot of their ‘19 winner Arcade

This is why the UK does so badly at Eurovision.

UK audiences don't understand the music that Europe likes.

We've spent 80 years merging our musical culture with the Yanks and Europe has gone in a different direction.

So we act surprised when we send what we think is good over there and get soundly beaten.

Nah.  That was as true back in the 80s as it is now, yet the UK (and Ireland) dominated the contest.

The Liths are always a bit mad.

Good singer too

reminds me of him. reminds me of that time i was absolutely pissed dancing to " without me" and fell on  the dance floor in " The subway" at Lothian road. I got thrown out by the bouncers..fell asleep on a bench at the meadows and lost my mobile phone too. A great night
