France (eurovision)

ITS YOKO ONO

It's because the public kept voting for their neighbours

Mrs Mangle didn't age well

Wow that came from nowhere

I can't hear what Norton is saying above all the background noise!

wait a minute - portugal won the euros and now eurovision..

italy are the scrotum of europe

Spain & Germany with 0 so far

I visited Italy for the first time last year. I loved it

Love the dog

I can't even remember how the portugal song went, it just washed over me. Strange it's getting so many votes imho.

Shi Tzu or Lhasa Apso

eire couldnt give a f*ck about the uk

Ireland gave uk zero points

GEorgia guy looks like he was in Shameless

Portugal, again!

The greek entry was pretty good I thought.

The Georgian bloked looked high as a kite.

Germany only country with 0

Glad it wasn't Sandi Toksvig.

disney song is way ahead. please reverse it listeners.

spain was a terrible song

It's Spain with no points, money.

to many drinks

tuned in to watch a load o d i c ks

this is cr^p so the jury has more power than the public vote FO

So jesus wins. It's fixed.
I wouldn't mind slipknot winning but topknot? F1x!

sweden made a lot of winks and gestures.

boxing is less fixed

2 quid on moldova ;)

Booooo.

I really don't get this with Portugal. Maybe I will change my mind if we hear it again but I don't think so.

sloppy joe and disney tune wins? 

away to watch the lady and the tramp.

that tune is painful to listen to.

That was confusing. I thought Bulgaria had won. They looked like they had.

It was nice enough, but not a runaway winner surely?? I mean I could imagine it on a film soundtrack but it was not that special.
It's unusual for our culture but I think ballads like that are still common elsewhere.

that was disappointly un profitable

I didn't think much of their song but good to see a country win for the first time

victory for music

Good speech

Yes I thought I might be able to trade but it was one way traffic and all the ones I took a punt on were wiped out.

Can't believe pievarotti was rejected so harshly.

i understood all that Portuguese he was saying.

Miming. Did he mime 1st time?

hes not miming

wtf is this now a duet thou

did we vote for a duet no

This has to be a joke.

I'm not a happy bunny.

I demand a recount.

I need to get a life, probably.

Certainly looked like it first couple bars

portugal is the homeless mangey dog of europe

he sings about the love he left behind when he had to go over to the uk to pick Brussel sprouts for minimum wage. a tragic love story.

is this woman pre or post op ?

hello hello

Where has she sprung from?!

Was she on stage before?

Ok not miming :)

Zorro

hand then ronaldo statue

Bring back ABBA...

Zorro must win post of the evening.

i don't like brussel sprouts - go home.

I reckon Russia hacked it :P

That was truly weird. There was me thinking the public vote would sort it out and look what happened.

best comment - was it my illumanatti GHOST theory, involving ginger aliens and monkeys.

"the lesbians have landed sir " - zorro wins tonight

Belgium - City Lights

Goodnight guys, it's been fun

aus guy mooned just as austrailia was eating crackfest

Apologies to anyone who took notice of my original post.I'm totally flabbergasted that pile of Jazz doggy doo came top of the tree.When i first heard the "song" it got totally dismissed  from my list of potential winners.Without trying to sound like a sore loser i did my absolute coconuts last night. Anywayi have made a vow to myself that  i will never ever watch or get involved financially with this over hyped politically motivated so called "competition".

Surprised it's taken you so long to come to that conclusion.
It's always a complete ' fix'

After initially going to bed thinking my conkers were done in, I woke up this morning having only lost £15. I clawed some of it back laying UK for top 10. In hindsight Lucie sang brilliantly and had I known that she would deliver that performance I would never have touched the market. I also back Moldova in running, I can't fathom the reason why but it helped me get some losses back.

I was disappointed in Romania and Croatia. I thought Croatia especially done well. It was quirky, unusual and the reason Eurovision exists. Just a pity the rest of Europe didn't see otherwise.

As others have noted Portugal's song was a pile of cack. Normally when I look back and something stands out to the reason why. Dana International, Lordy and even last years winners, chosen because Russia had invaded their country all had reasons to pick them. When you look at other factors there is usually something that you can think of that wins. I still can't fathom a reason for Portugal.

I will be backing next year and probably lose more money as usual.

Enjoyed this thread, unlucky Pieverotti.

Not saying Portugal was awful but others were better, wouldn't have put him in the final 10. And Portugal over 50 years with no top 5 result, and now a SHOCK WIN ! At least we got points this year and we weren't at the bottom. Lucie gave a great performance and deserved top 5 at least.

I wouldn't touch these markets, too unpredictable. Somehow simplicity of song won it in the end, no big stage presentation, no flashy light shows, and no dancing gorilla, would never have predicted that, but well done to him.

In his winner's speech, Salvador said “Music is not fireworks, music is feeling." (Slightly insulting the rest of the competitors with that comment, but true, although this competition is not about meaningful music it is commercial trash and fun.)

Fair play to him, well done...... still can't believe he won !

Been with my missus for fourteen years and in all that time I haven't watched Eurovision this year the worm turned. We had friends over. No one could believe how bad it was which was missing the point. It's how bad it is that makes it so great. The irony wasn't missed by the Cyprus judge when they gave Greece twelve points

and most eu participants take it very seriously

If anyone is remotely interested here are the English lyrics to the song Amar pelos dois: (wife said "I think this could win it," I said "don't be daft, no way......" But the way he delivers the song, and it's so out of Euro style, but he grabbed it with feeling, just didn't think it could win ! Watched it again and liked it more the second time.

Love for the both of us


If one day someone asks about me
Say that I lived just to love you
Before you, I only existed
Tired and without a thing to offer

My dear, listen to my prayers
I ask you to come back, that you come back to love me
I know that we can't love alone *
Maybe little by little you can learn again

My dear, listen to my prayers
I ask you to come back, that you come back to love me
I know that we can't love alone
Maybe little by little you can learn again

If your heart don't wish to do so
To feel the passion, If it don't want to suffer
Without making plans about what will happen
My Heart can love for the both of us

She told me to "Fu ck off"
