I don’t think they were

Oh definitely dream sir and you seem realistic enough to know it’s out of reach! I’m not gonna start reciting dream the impossible dream cos neither of us want that ;)

“People” are stupid. Any Eurovision fan worth their salt knows Sanremo is for Italia people and seeing them at Eurovision is an additional prize. Mind you “people” are generally clueless social media idiots IMHO

That being said, however, the BBC production team were very enthusiastic, the bosses and board, less so because they’ve been ingrained that Stenders > established musical contest. Therefore less willing to release the spends needed.

You also need to remember that YLE and BBC are completely different beasts with totally different priorities. In Finland this is a huge tv event in itself. The BBC has a gamillion other televisual priorities under its rules and charters and PSB fulfilments. You’re not comparing apples with apples.

55.7% of the televote - that's one hell of a win

There is an argument all national finals entertain a nation in some way.

I wonder if they did the same when Croatia committed genocide against Bosnians in 1993?? Anyone??

So you do something invalid which you can’t get marked fo. What would be your, clearly, genius solution?

This is exactly what they did!! To. The. Letter.

She failed to perform a required element. It’s the rules.

I know nothing about him BUT I hear he’s big on the YouTube and has done festivals and knows how to perform. That’s a start!

and fans make up a very tiny part of the overall viewership of the contest, unless you live on social media in which case they are literally all the people that watch the damn thing ever and no ones contra opinion matters.

I think that the "corrupt decisions" is only a very small part here. I think the stadia were too large and they overreached themselves. Also, remember, without the EBU, you'd have no show to complain about....

Not done a personal post for a while. Amputation sites are healing nicely. Plastic leg is doing its job. All good. Apart from when I fall on the floor

not provided by any italian TV company - but you knew that yes?

Yes - but you can't see those two going to the cottage can you?!

yes - but as a heated rivalry fan I prefer ginger ale.

#eurovision #moldova never have I been thankful for a girl banger even if the girl is singing about alcohol like she's had a nip before taking the stage. This is all about booty shaking than the song.

#moldova #eurovision i've had two lower leg amputations and they were funnier than that! please move on.

#eurovision #moldova here comes the "funny" entry. excuse me whilst i pick my nose as its going to be more fun than this shit. It seems to be about Tomatoes.... anyone got any to throw?

#eurovision #moldova do all moldovans have short memories cos they are recapping the four songs we've literally just seen!

a pre-requisite surely?

For those of you interested it seems that the HD stream has 45 viewers.... I could probably name them all. #eurovision

Four songs in and we've going for a small pause so our hosts can talk to people! #eurovision #Moldova

And now on #moldovan television - some Gaybait that looks suspiciously like Rylan. Apparently he's calling me - can confirm i've blocked his number #eurovision

Some vodka stashed away?

#eurovision #moldova here comes your strong independant woman slaying in a skimpy dress.... Adelisha isn't helping the cause of feminism.

God almighty do they really have to?!

I’m the oldest biker in the world, Lurch.
