FabSwingers.com forum: The "I Hate Eurovision" Thread

Seeing that the Eurovision is around the corner, I thought I'd start this thread for anyone who wants to discuss why they hate this contest.

What are your reasons for hating the Eurovision?

I just don't understand why people get worked up about it. The music is pants, the other countries obviously hate us with a passion and it's boring.

It's not how good the songs are it's all political and it's a shame for the actual singers. They'll never get the proper credit they deserve if they r any good

I hate it. I went last year to the final because my friend gets on the corporate gig.

I had to pretend it was brilliant while internally dying a little inside every act.

Luckily there was a lot of wine to drink.

He wrote a song about me and we had great sex, but, ultimately, no.

We are good at other things like the Olympics and other kinds of worldwide events but Eurovision will never be one of them.

I think there is very little effort and passion on our part plus we sort of know we'll never do well anyway so we're probably just trying to get through it as quickly as possibly.

It's not the singer's fault and I'm sure he did his best but like I said about our part in this contest, very little effort and passion.

we did very well in the 60s and 70s won it 3 times and 2nd at least once i think. Its only since its got political and for some reason our songs got crap we lose. Boombangabang, making your mind up and walking on sunshine where all good catchy songs. This years was like something from a funeral.

He also lacked stage presence. The other nations performed. I don't blame it all on the politics.

We did much better when our entrants were already chart toppers at home. These days they pick total unknowns. We were only outside the top 10 places 3 times between 1957 and 1999.

Sir Terry Wogan was British, if he wasn't he couldn't be called "Sir". He was born in Ireland yes, referred to as Irish yes, but he carried a british passport and was Sir so Ireland was a "them" to him.

I think that kind of mentality needs to stop and we should just quit this contest.
