March 29, 200718 yr Terry makes the show worth watching..he is funny , otherwise it's a load of c**p! Agreed, I dont usually like Wogan very much tbh, but when he does Eurovision and starts getting drunk on the complimentary vino, he's pure gold..... :lol:
March 31, 200718 yr Agreed, I dont usually like Wogan very much tbh, but when he does Eurovision and starts getting drunk on the complimentary vino, he's pure gold..... :lol: Pi$$ed or not, Tel is still the best part of this crappy show! :puke2:
March 31, 200718 yr Pi$$ed or not, Tel is still the best part of this crappy show! :puke2: Not the best thing to say in a subforum dedicated to it -_-
April 1, 200718 yr Not the best thing to say in a subforum dedicated to it -_- ..But an honest opinion.... This aint an O.F., so criticism of the contest should be allowed IMO....
April 5, 200718 yr ..But an honest opinion.... This aint an O.F., so criticism of the contest should be allowed IMO.... Too right , why on earth should we say something is great when it obviously is not! :angry: This show should have been scrapped years ago, the content and quality of some of the singers each year wouldn't get past the boot camp in X Factor, c**p is about a fair description. :lol: Last years entry from the uK was a joke. Terry is brilliant and always worth listening to..pi$$ed or not!

Terry is brilliant and always worth listening to..pi$$ed or not! Yes, SOME of the singers, it doesn't get past the fact that it also provides lots of great entries each year - I cannot think of a contest in the last 10 years in which there have been less than 10 good entries. You refer to the UK's entries as an example - well, the UK is quickly becoming infamous for sending dire crap, the entire country seems to think it is a joke and still be stuck in the mentality that it is a camp bubblegum pop-fest when in reality that pretty much stopped about 8/9 years ago (depending on how camp you classify 1999's winner...), which is WHY the entries we send are jokes, which is WHY we haven't sent a good entry since 2002 (Jessica Garlick, who finished third, showing if you SEND something good it will actually be acknowledged...), which is WHY we do bad. People tend to focus on the bad of the competition (these days only about 5 songs out of the 40...VAST minority) more than the good, hence why people seem to think it is a joke. And why do you think it should be scrapped? :huh: It's not a talent contest by any means, that wasn't the original reason it was started up, and viewing figures show that Europe would HEAVILY diagree (as well as places like the USA and Australia which also view it about a week later...) with any cancellation. Anyway, there's not much I can do as this is clearly opinion based, but I'll just leave a few entries to show that Eurovision DOES produce some good singers each year... iVbPjEyJ-oE 2003, Greece, Mando - Never Let You Go yOA8qWRgbk4 2005, Sweden, Carola - Invincible GMkL1fMwCDo 2007, Slovenia, Alenka Gotar - Cvet Z Juga 0b3ywwJMZLQ 2002, Malta, Ira Losco - 7th Wonder KtyTpZ8rT7s 2007, Armenia, Hayko - Anytime You Need ByJ3eeBsktw 2004, Serbia & Montenegro, Zeljko Joksimovic - Lane Moje Still think that Eurovision doesn't show quality singers/talent?
