Grrr they're not putting the semi on Radio 2 again :angry: I don't get BBC Three but at least this year I'll have broadband to watch it online, it was very inconvenient last time lol. The program on 16th looks good and as for the 20th well :cheer: it's gonna be great! :lol:

Btw Rob you get BBC, ITV1 etc don't you do you watch the Eurovision on BBC1 or RTE1?

I look forward to the semi final should be interesting viewing!!

I used to always watch it one RTE1, but I've defected to the Beeb in the last few years as Terry can be really funny sometimes - I remember him calling Chiara "a fine lump of a woman" last year :rofl:

 

We also get the semi-final shown on proper tv too (RTE2, our BBC2) :funky:

<_< Well that's fair enough I suppose you're always in it we never will be! :P

It just means we can potentially get to perform twice ;)

It's actually really unfair how a country like Ireland or Netherlands isn't guaranteed a place in the final. They've been in the ESC for over 40 years (?) yet they can get pushed out by a relatively new country who might never have been in it before.

Wasn't the semi-final on Wednesday in other years :unsure:

It was Wednesday in 2004, but last year it was a Thursday.

Oh right, I thought it was a Tues in 2004 and then a Wed last year ;)

ireland should automatically go through, hope the eurovision is in england or ireland next year

I shan't be watching if it's on the same time as BB. -_-

Marty Whelan. It's done in pretty much the same manner, but he's rather dull. Thankfully he doesn't talk over the performances either

I remember watching the Juinior ESC a few years back with Tara PT doing the commentary, she was awful - talking over the presenters, performances :puke2: when Wogan stops doing the British commentary it will never be the same again.

Boom Bang A Bang is on in 20 minutes on BBC One. :)

Feck, I missed it :( My fella said it was hilarious, though :lol:

I watched the Boom Banh A Bang. They showed clips of other countries entries in this years Eurovision. Begiums entry sounded very good, could be the winner <_< Finlands entry is unusual, kind of like Marilyn Mansun Meets Darth Vader!! :lol:

 

The last time we entered a rap song into the Eurovison song contest was in 1995 with Love City Groove and we came 7th.
