silver Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yes, it's the thread you've all been waiting for - Eurovision 2019 Any selections made yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 The UK entry will be chosen on Friday 8th February. The BBC are going in for a strange approach this year, there are only 3 songs to choose from, but each one is being performed by two different acts, so you choose not only the song, but the style in which it will be performed. Which might be an OK approach if you were choosing from good songs to start with ...... You can hear them here, if you're interested https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0070hvg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemz Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yay I loved Eurovision last year! I am looking forward to it this year aswell. I've heard all 6 songs from the UK and they are OK but not winning material! My favourites are Sweet Lies by Kerrie-Anne & Bigger Than Us by Holly Tandy. I am looking forward to watching the live performances on "You Decide" on Friday! Do you have a favourite of the 6 silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irem Aytepe Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I love Eurovision but Turkey won't enter. Last years we were but not this year. The reason is so absurd, there is one guy, who entered last year, he wore a skirt and he cannot choose his gender so my lovely TV boss says this is so bad for children. Everybody wants but... anyway, good luck other countries! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found this article http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-to-return-eurovision-if-no-more-bearded-divas-135427 Which basically says what you have said and also said the TV boss doesn't like the 2014 winner Conchita Wurst for their appearance.

Yes, i was wrong about last year, it was 2014 My country always like that, not as good as like other countries about brains. Annoying Winners are good, "winner" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bigger Than Us by Holly Tandy too, but I don't think it has any chance of winning. However, my record of picking the winning song is pretty poor , so what do I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Well, the UK entry has been chosen, it's Michael Rice's performance of the song I liked, Bigger Than Us. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06ysvkh Can't see it doing much in the competition though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping Kerrie-Anne would win but I wouldn't have been annoyed if Jordan won. It''s a dull cliche song and I agree I don't think it will do well, will probably be the same place as Storms from last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffeandy Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 If anybody is interested, this is the Czech song: I have to say it was probably the best choice from the national round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominika Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I relly like the French song. The British one is so so. I mean it's correct, does not stand out, it's like I've heard such song before on the radio. It's pleasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominika Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 This group TULIA will represent Poland. Girls are singing folk covers of great hits. Don't know the song for the contest yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Apparently all the songs have been chosen now, so I've started listening to a few. Iceland France Poland Was looking forward to this as I like Tulia's sound, but the song itself is pretty ordinary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Well, Eurovision is upon us - the semifinal voting starts tomorrow. Anybody got any favourites? I like Azerbaijan's entry so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 I think Italy will probably win, but Spain could do well. Malta's entry is quite quirky, and I also like The Netherlands, Slovenia, and Romania. I think the Swiss entry could surprise people too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominika Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The only thing I like about this year eurovision is the theme: DARE TO DREAM And I change my opinion about Czech Republic. They present themselves much better live than when I watched their video clip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
