Are You Excited about Eurovision 2021?

Eurovision had to skip 2020 due to the pandemic. But it is back in 2021! The finals are on Saturday. You may not realize the contest's importance. It has launched the careers of performers such as Bucks Fizz.

I am. :)

I'm not. :(

Wait, what? 😕

Not at all, but since you bring it up i thought i would have a look.

I looked at my own country and the winner.

Neither of these seem to get what I had thought Eurovision was about.

To my mind, the entry is kind of supposed to be shit, or at least sort of fun and not taking itself at all seriously.

The UK entry was certainly shit but not in a good way and the winners are clearly taking themselves far too seriously and could almost be considered to be cheating on the basis that they actually turned up with something you could listen to all the way through without cutting yourself.

Hopefully some of the other countries got into the spirit of the event and rounded up some vaguely musical homeless people and dressed them up like clowns before firing them onto the stage out of a cannon along with far too much glitter and poor disco lighting.

Lets face it, Eurovision peaked with ABBA and we will never see their like again.

[supercutebutt]

Don't forget about Bucks Fizz.

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly, that is just the right flavour of garbage which should be featured on Eurovision.

[andreasderjuengere]

I watched it the last time in 1980.
I clearly remember the Turkish contribution that made me refuse the whole spectacle.

Only once I 'appreciated' the show later: when a German comedian punk manipulated/exploited the pre-elections to ridicule the contest. Much to the dismay of the 'establishment' :D

The only one who could top that -and did- was Roseanne Barr (I love that one)

[supercutebutt]

You stopped watching the year before the incredible Bucks Fizz? You must have regrets.

[andreasderjuengere]

I was busy with Led Zeppelin, Scorpions and such; is that an excuse?

[supercutebutt]

It's an excuse... but a weak one.

[spuitkaas]

Yesss I went live to the second semi-final. It was really fun. Excited for tonight. It's a big thing within our family. I don't have a clear favorite this year though. There are some very strong ones.

[DaisyM23]

Yess I’ve been watching the semi finals (this is the first year I’ve watched eurovision) and I have my favourites- russia and cyprus! System is definitely rigged/unfair though

[supercutebutt]

It's rigged! Maybe you can organize an audit and do a recount?

[DaisyM23]

Oh no, not like that (i think) but the fact that the ‘big 5’ automatically get into the finals is unfair for me

[purplepoppy]

I'd love to go and see it live. One of my friends went and said it's a great laugh

[supercutebutt]

Maybe if you had a time machine. Dial it back 40 years so you can be there in the front row to see Bucks Fizz bring home the gold for the UK! Could it really get any better than that?

[purplepoppy]

I don't need bucksfizz to whip my skirt off lol

[supercutebutt]

I guess not but it would be pretty awesome.

[HHHHIHHHHHIHHHH]

I am soooo smitten by the performance of Switzerland, Finland and Italy

[supercutebutt]

ITALY!!!

[karaspara]

As a European I can't honestly think of a worse music competition

[supercutebutt]

well maybe now it sucks. But 40 years ago there was Bucks Fizz!

[karaspara]

Very true I just find most of it awful and cheesy lol

[menina]

I never cared about Eurovision and in my case watching it makes no sense since I'm not European. So no, I didn't watch it.

[Lottifan]

Watched both the heats and all the songs are absolute crap

[supercutebutt]

I think the problem is that how is anybody supposed to top Bucks Fizz? Every other performance looks like crap in comparison. Am I right?

[Lottifan]

That’s true to a point but the judging is all to do with politics these days.

[supercutebutt]

That sux :(

[Lottifan]

@supercutebutt
I bet you’ll have your super cute tight butt shaking to the music 😉

[supercutebutt]

[Lottifan]

Phew!🥵

[7771999]

He's mad Israel's song is trash 😂

[ImSparkly]

I got dragged into becoming a fan back in my early teens. Its an unserious music festival of community and kitsch. I got to go to the finals in my late teens in Sweden, in a lot of ways, it was more exciting than Coachella.

[kannettava]

No. I don't like the kind of music that is popular in the Eurovision and the political aspect of the contest makes it even less appealing to me.

[Daniela1982]

I bet you love it as long as you can show your butt, right?

[TommyMountainFigure]

I'd like to give you an answer. I just can't make my mind up!

[Levin]

Highlight of my week this.

I mean, what else bugger am I supposed to do?

[Anonymous]

I have never cared about Eurovision. Best thing to ever come out of it was Riverdance, an act so impressive that even Terry Wogan suddenly remembered he was Irish.

[jshm2]

No.

It's bygones trying to be someone's again.

[maryisbreathing]

si usis isusiis isisis isisisi yessssssssssssssssssssssss

[humanearth]

Never heard of it. Kinda looks like the Brady Bunch from the 1970s

[cth96190]

Nothing about that talentless freak show excites me.

[Redxdevil]

I don't understand why people watch this shite to be honest 🤣🤣 I would much rather stick pins in my eyes than sit down and watch that for hours 😂😂

[deeks1121]

Weirdly I am always excited to watch eurovision, simply because of the variety and quirkiness of some countries

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

I don't know what it is, maybe because I don't live in Europe.

[supercutebutt]

Yeah maybe. And maybe it's time you started learning about other cultures? You aren't getting any younger.

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

@supercutebutt it is quite ignorant of you to assume that I don't know about other cultures by just one answered question. I have been to 146 countries in the world and have been exposed to many more. My answer states that I don't live in Europe and it isn't on my daily view seeing that I live in the United States. That is the same thing as me asking what do you think about who is going to win a certain MLS match this evening. It isn't in your daily vision. I also don't see how a single event has anything to do with culture my friend.

[supercutebutt]

LOL. I was just teasing you. As long as you aren't a dirty Trump person, we are cool. :)

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

I am my own person, I despise politics

[Nikolai2004]

I'm boycotting it after the terrible propaganda advert they put out.

[OddBeMe]

As excited I am about the Kardashian’s new line of slut perfume!
