Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Post by Musicman1965 »

Where will Olly Alexander finish for the UK.?
With the power of UK song writing our entry is DIZZY. A delightful tune :shock:
Is it a good song?
What do you think of the dances with the boxing protectors on?
I have my own take on our entry.... :)

That Croatian song has a bit of something about it.

As for the UK, a position on the left hand side of the final table would be a decent result.

Terry when he observed the young Moldovian songstress with her knickers showing above the waistline of her pants quipped that perhaps he was attending the Eurovision thong contest.

I voted Israel because it will piss off some flag waver.

Our UK entry is basically a Pet Shop Boys rip off.

I really want Ireland to win, Lady Ga Ga meets Marilyn Manson.

When the Uk has so many great songwriters why can't we produce a winning song?

Cue Elton

Elton didn’t write that was Turpin, he added the music.

The mrs watched the show and what a change from when I watched as a child.

I can't watch men dancing in basques nor can I watch men dancing erotically wearing a box.

What goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults is fine, but why sexualize music video's? What message does it convey? Imagine the first team walking out onto the Wembly turf wearing fun boxes before the final starts? What message would it send other than a sexualisation of football?

Why does music need to be visually sexualized, gangsterized with violent rap, racialized, politicized, atomised and polarized into as many profitable ventures as possible? Can't we just keep it sweet here in Britain?

Really piss them off by informing them that the Palestinian arabs opposed mass immigration into Palestine. Colonisation is never good for the host nation. Dumb and dumber comes to mind.
