Any other sad person watching, now, on BBC 3 the first of the Eurovision Song Contest semi finals????

I think we stand a good chance of getting some points this year, hoo ra.

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 22:14:38

What's happened????

Apart from one or two we've had some proper songs this year. smile

POGS Sat 10-May-14 22:04:59

Soutra. sunshine

Go Molly.

Seriously they were all very good weren't they.

As Merlot said now comes the AAAAgh moment. grin

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 22:00:24

Well done, Mollie. Sorry Soutra I thought it was good.

Soutra Sat 10-May-14 21:58:54

UK song oh dear sad

Soutra Sat 10-May-14 21:52:27

Grace liked the Swiss entry it made her prick up her ears!

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 21:51:57

Some good songs in the second half.

Much higher standard this year I think.

POGS Sat 10-May-14 21:51:55

Heck The Netherlands was good wasn't it.

Ana Sat 10-May-14 21:50:54

Had a look, and realised why I haven't watched it for the last few years. Terry Wogan's commentary used to be the best part...

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 21:47:57

We wondered that, rubysong grin

Malta was good.

Denmark are right up there I think.

POGS Sat 10-May-14 21:47:39

Now I like Denmark the best so far.

rubysong Sat 10-May-14 21:42:50

Malta. Is he playing a skateboard?

POGS Sat 10-May-14 21:36:26

Merlot. grin

Charliegirl

I wouldn't bother reading it if I were you. confused

I like Sweden, Romania, Iceland and Finland. Mind you the Spanish girl was a brilliant singer.

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 21:34:32

We haven't got to that yet, Charleygirl. Shouting at the telly is the best bit.

WHAAAAAAAAT?????

You cannot be serious!

Fiddle!

Oh, they won't give us anything.

Why do we bother?????

I'm going to bed (in a huff) wine grin

Soutra Sat 10-May-14 21:29:54

What about the Cheeky Girls for Poland thenhmm ?

Charleygirl Sat 10-May-14 21:26:40

I will find out who won tomorrow when I read the newspaper. I cannot stand it because of its political overtones.

merlotgran Sat 10-May-14 21:23:19

I think the French song is the best so far but I quite liked the Romanian entry as well.

papaoscar Sat 10-May-14 21:16:08

Some good songs so far. Like Iceland, Greece, France and Russia.

POGS Sat 10-May-14 21:09:43

Good point of view there Papaoscar. Indeed better to be enjoying themselves not fighting. Enjoy.

The production is good and it is moving at a good pace me thinks.

papaoscar Sat 10-May-14 20:19:20

Just started and the good old English language has won already! Wouldn't mind being there. Much better to see European young people enjoying themselves instead of fighting each other. Good luck to Molly!

POGS Sat 10-May-14 20:10:36

Good Luck Molly

A good excuse for a drink me thinks. wine

Tegan Sat 10-May-14 16:10:05

Molly goes last I believe; prime spot. Definately will place I think. A good performance the Europe can't not vote for her [can they confused]?

rubysong Sat 10-May-14 15:38:23

Let us know which country you draw Sparky and we will cheer for them. We especially liked Switzerland. Shame about Ireland not qualifying.

sparkygran Sat 10-May-14 15:18:03

Can`t wait for tonight`s extravaganza at DS we are a mad Eurovision family and always have a party although all of can`t get there this year. We start off with a Chinese Takeaway followed by drawing a country out of the hat £5 each into the kitty and winner takes all. Bring it on.

GOOD LUCK MOLLY

DARN IT; have realised the show is on at the same time as the German series I've been watching on Saturday night.
