It's the final of Eurovision 2017 tonight. Tell myself every year not to watch but I know I will.
UK bookmakers are making Italy's Francesco Gabbani the favourite. I can see why, its totally infectious... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmpc3fcrNJQ The UK doesnt stand a chance and will be lucky to get into the top 20. This despite us having a decent song for once; Lucie Jones' Never Give Up on You... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ6K-EvqccA I think Azerbaijan and Moldova will also do well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY1fN0R5vXY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prqZ8MSAPh4 and second favourite is the sweet Portuguese entry... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0td62XxnjBk

The Azerbaijan one is a tad bizarre bat a good performer. The sax guy from Moldova truly is epic. The UK girl from X Factor is good but she has the same problem of Italy's girl of the last year, who also was from X Factor; they're generic good crooners. As you said Gabbani's Occidentali's Karma is infectious, but also upon listening more closely to the lyrics you can discover that it's a smart and ironic song, there are also a couple of nods to famous works of science literature among the new age cultural references. I'm glad for once it's not a stupid song to be on top of the national charts. Also he's proven to be a good showman, the Gorilla idea was very smart.

Well, all the songs have been performed now. I'll stick my neck out and predict the winner will be one of either; Italy, Belgium, Austria, Moldova, Portugal or Romania.
I reckon the standard was the highest its ever been across the board this year. Having a semi final system ensures quality songs in the final. Good that you get quality (and some quirky, off beat performances) but sad also you miss out on the genuinely bizarre, naff and downright sh!t songs.

Final result:
1) Portugal 2) Bulgaria 3) Moldova 4) Belgium 5) Sweden 6) Italy 7) Romania 8) Hungary 9) Australia 10) Norway UK: 15th out of 26  At least Australia gave the UK 10 points. I think its time to rope in other English speaking countries; USA, Canada and New Zealand can now become part of Europe.

WAAAAHEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY Eurovision 2018 is almost upon us.
I love the UK entry; Storm performed by SuRie... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLGEx2x8xoo Sadly the bookmakers dont rate her chances of even being top 15. Bookies favourite; Cyprus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DRsfNObKIQ I just don't get it  PS I'm loving Ryan Reynolds' Eurovision rant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTxD5y75FZQ

I like UK's song and I really don't like Cyprus song, the girl reminds of the lead singer of that US group named Pussycat Dolls whose timbre I found irritating; however she's very beautiful, I'll give her that. Italy entry this year is an engagé song from two Italian singer songwriters that revolves around the theme of terrorism and peace, I liked it but I haven't heard it much on the radio: P.S. Ryan Reynolds just gained my respect Last edited by SisterNightroad; 05-11-2018 at 11:52 AM..
