Eurovision has always been a bit of a farce with so much politically-based voting, I don't know why anyone takes it seriously.

We maybe not pull out but just take the piss with our entries in future...or is that what we've been doing for 30 years?

She looked visually shook up but then gave such a powerful performance as if to say "you aint stopping me mate!"

Even when the mike was snatched from her the backing tape was still playing on. It is more about
staging, lights flames dancing and costumes than it is about music.

The Waylon Jennings clone had a backing band who could not play their instruments and were only there
to dance and add to the spectacle. Fake eye lashes fluorescent neon colours, loads of sparkle and glitter
smoke and fireworks, flashing stroboscopic lights. All the gear and no idea.

Perhaps the visuals had more to do with the outcome than the songs themselves. Pathetic pyrotechnics.

Problem is the rest of the world hates us & are determined to make a fun contest all political

Politics should never come into it mate !

Pull out of the damn thing.....the UK, USA, Jamaica know they have the best music in the world anyway

People who want this event to be meaningful by being a honest... blablabla whatever are
a bit deluded themselves. This event would demonstrate the total lack of good taste whatever the circum-
stances would be.
It`s an exhibition once more of human stupidity and bad taste.
