Eurovision Song Contest - Belgrade 2008

Yes yes yes can we talk about something more important, like the Azerbijan angel with the contact lenses?

He so cute.

Sorry was too busy playing with the sound to notice.

Although if I was voting entirely on that basis, then I think it's between the guy from Iceland and the Russian vocalist

Yes, as I said in the online chat I just can't say no to a Russian boy. "Da" is the only word that spings to mind.

Looks like we're going to get nil points again I don't know why the BBC continue to fund this rubbish

Not quite nil then. At least you've got that

Again I ask the same question again, Why?

Why the f**** do we even bother? I mean even Terry said it was a good performance from us this year & at present we're second bottom.

We might was well just get a bloke on stage repeatingly hitting a tin with a stick singing arse over & over again if this is the highest we're going to get with a good song.

I know it's disheartening. Is it funded by license fee money?

We're one of the biggest four funders (the others are, I think, France, Germany & Spain).

It should just be the countries in the final that the points come from, why all the countries that aren't in the final?

Because it pulls in the viewers.

Yep but it's so dishartening in some respects, he gave it his all this year & yet we're second bottom even though there are at least half a dozen worse entries (looking at you Spain)

Well, yes, but you were asking why we bothered. Because it pulls in viewers is the simple answer.

Plus we pay to get into the Final! None of this Semi final for US!
