Thank you @Avon I had forgotten all about HEY! That one was right on top of our list of favourites! I will put it on my YouTube playlist, to listen to it over and over!

So ,I wasn't a fan of the winning song...
The previous two contests were much better than this years!

And this is the first song I watched and it ruined the coming songs and Eurovision 2023 for me. How did this boy ever get into the finals?

I sorta like the song, but don't like all the theatrics that have developed in Eurovision over the past fifty years. At one time it was the song, now it's the show!

They,apparently,have the backing of Elvis Costello.

The only contestants I remember winning were ABBA, back in the day.

Thank goodness that's over for another year.. I didn't watch it,but I had heard the UK entry which was pretty dire - not surprised that it flopped miserably. It reminds me of an episode of 'Father Ted ' where Ireland was looking for a song so bad that they wouldn't have to host the show the following year.

Fantastic contest, all the usual fun and absurdities and Liverpool should be proud. I liked Belgium best.
I am not sure about the winner but it's all political voting but we'll, that's how it is.
Eurovision is an annual tradition I wouldn't ever miss. I watch with friends, have a few drinks and a good laugh.

Looks like Cha Cha Cha had the biggest vote on the night, but votes were decided prior to the final. So now they are screaming, fix.

Just curious, who does the deciding? So the vote by the general public doesn't count? That does indeed sound like the results are fixed beforehand!

Just read it on the news, folk are not happy. Afraid it is on the news, I cannot copy and take it in small doses.Just curious, who does the deciding? So the vote by the general public doesn't count? That does indeed sound like the results are fixed beforehand!

Looking around my other forums the general consensus seems to be that this was the worst song contest for some years.
I am inclined to agree.
