It's open to members and associate members of the EBU. They won't change the title.
Make it a world event and it's chaos. What if 200 nations enter, will be logistical nightmare... the number right now is just about manageable.
The poor public vote for an ok UK song shows #Brexit is the way to go tbh. |
It's the Jews, Bluey. You know it. I know it. |  |

A very good show this year and a great Swedish production.
Ukraine entry was dreary let's be honest,but it obviously struck a chord with pre menstrual women across Europe.
My favourite was the country n western song by the Netherlands.
Still don't get why we allow Azerbaijani, Israelis and Australians to participate in a European competition. |
They are in because it is a European Broadcasting Union event. Not an EU event.
Members and associate members are all invited. Some like Morocco, Tunisia etc decline to enter.
Why do so? TV viewing figures for one. |  |

Innit. Da Jooz who run da media and everyfink clearly rigged things to give what was a very good Israeli entry minimal points to cover up their conspratorial ways.
Interesting fact; Hovi Star who sang the Israeli entry sings on Disney films for the localisation of songs in Hebrew. | |

Last post for tonight due to tiredness.
BBC should get rid of Graham Norton. The "bitchy queen" gimmick wore thin over recent years; without that he was dull as dishwater and terminally unfunny.
Scott Mills and Mel Giedroyc were brilliant when covering the semi finals - they should present the whole thing next year. | |

The BBC should hsve nothing to do with it. It gets high viewing figures and as such should be on commercial tv so they can maximise ad revenue.
Your view the other night. Make up your mind. | |

Even Morocco entrered one year; that reminds me of Raja Casablanca having a season in La Liga, only to return to Moroccan football the season after.
I loved the Georgian entry, so different and also an excellent song. There's more to Georgia than running rings round West Ham in 1982 with Dynamo Tiblisi, before winning the CWC that season, they have also given the world brilliant music.
Winning "Eurosong" can mess your career up, so here is hoping the Georgian band realise how many new fans they have made, then go on from there. | | | |

What were the lyrics of the you crane song? Something like 'they came to our house and shot us all and shat in our sink' or something like that. Dreadful song, and a bit of Massive Attack going on in there somewhere as well. But anything that annoys Mr Pootin is fine by me - I bet there were a few bowls of cabbage sliding down the Kremlin dining room walls at about 01:30 this morning. | | | |

Hate his "bitchy queen" comments, it's like he HAS to say something derogatory at every and any opportunity. Sometimes it's better just to shut up, pity that he doesn't know this. Disliked Wogan ever since I found out he was getting paid thousands for hosting Children In Need while asking pensioners to give a donation, however small, but you can't knock him for his Eurovision commentary. I'd give Ken Bruce a shot at it. | |

Nope, that wasn't my view. My point was the BBC shouldn't go chasing ratings - as in seeing the success of X Factor et al then either developing their own poor format in Fame Academy or buying the rights at the time to The Voice.
Bit difficult for the BBC to have nothing to do with it given they are part of EBU... | |

I just found the unintended irony of the Ukranian lyrics amusing. Basically "poor us, look at the russians in 1994 ( and by the way, recently too )" whilst ignoring the activities of Ukraine during 1944 and before. | |

Georgia was the best for me, by a country mile might actually listen to that one again. Very worthy winner in Ukraine though. Best winner of the competition in my time of watching it. Gutted for the Joe and jake, best UK entry in absolutely ages. And fakin Poland like, utter shite and 4th in the popular vote. Leave the public vote out next time, they ain't got a clue. |  |

I think the good part about the new voting system is it exposes the differences between what professionals look for and the partisan voting of the public. | |

They're talent shows ffs. They've been going since TV began. | |

Nothing wrong with talent shows per se. The problem was the BBC seeing a certain type doing well on commericially funded TV so then try to come up with their own "clever" idea which flopped costing the taxpayer a lot of money ( Fame Academy ) or paying quite a bit to get the rights to a show format ( The Voice ).
The BBC went through a period where originality was a bad word. See Graham Norton doing well on Channel 4? Quick, splash the cash to sign him up. Do absolutely nothing with him for two years or so because the BBC had no clue how to use him... I just think that's a dumb approach for a publicly funded broadcaster to do.
Commercially driven broadcasters ( ITV, Sky et al ) can choose to do that. That's stuff they have to fund for themselves. Where the BBC are funded by taxpayers then they should be more circumspect in the spending and generally be a bit more responsible. When even Chris Evans was pointing out talent was overpaid, it shows lessons hadn't be learnt. | |
