Eurovision 2022

[notaclue]

A shocker. UK getting loads of judges points and now a clear lead.

UK team chanting "we got votes! We got votes!"

 

[alanbeeb]

Do not adjust your set. Azerbaijan gave us 12! Wow.
And France!

 

[notaclue]

12 points from France???? Historic.

12 points from France???? Historic.

When that came on I said to my other half ‘run to the hills, pigs are about to start flying’.

Massive public vote for Serbia. In line with YouTube views. Which would suggest Ukraine and Spain will be getting a more massive public vote than the UK.

 

[notaclue]

A remarkable second. If Russia had of invaded the UK, we'd have walked it.

 

[alanbeeb]

What was that Serbian song about anyway? A lot of nonsense.
UK would have won under normal circumstances... But we should be glad that so many in Europe showed their solidarity with Ukraine, and theirs was a good song. It wouldn't have been right for them not to win this year.

...and fervently hoping Kyiv 2023 will be a great show!

there was a rumor about a cunning plan for UK to win and get the US into the competition the way how australia did it before. the juries votes kinda confirm that.

that would be a bit of a refreshment of the competition, at least. however the politics stopped it, for now. i hope it's inevitable anyway.

Birmingham has just hosted the Commonwealth Games, so NO.

Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester have high crime rates, so NO.

Sheffield not only also has a high crime rate, but has at least one mad cyclist who rides about with a club, there are likely to be more just the same, so NO.

Newcastle is not very cultured or cosmopolitan so I disagree. The many Eurovision visitors would be disappointed.

I would say Manchester. It has the BBC and is a cultured and cosmopolitan city.

Rains too much in Manchester.
