Eurovision: Come Together (BBC) (16 May 2020)

[AGinAg (37)]

It will ALWAYS BE WATERLOO

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Was the vote reveal pre-recorded?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

SHOW. ME. THE VOTES!

 

[Tisch]

I thought they would announce the actual placings. Otherwise what was the point?

I feel like the Waterloo bit was already filmed

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Do we have a thread?

No.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

DID WE EVEN ACTUALLY VOTE?!

 

[Ellie]

Well I won £1.44 for that bet.

 

[lolly]

Oh well it's a few more sales for Gold in Asda tomorrow

 

[Raining on Me]

Well that was fun.

Really surprised at the winner, big upset there

 

[Tisch]

 

[ButterTart]

Waterloo, though.

 

[Peekaboo]

Do not underestimate EVER the British ability to be basic.

There's NOTHING basic about ABBA. Basic was half the SHIT in that "selection"!

 

[COB]

OMG ABBA ARE REUNITING FOR THIS

 

[Beverley]

There's NOTHING basic about ABBA. Basic was half the SHIT in that "selection"!

There's nothing basic about ABBA, but EVERYTHING BASIC about the British public behaving as if its the ONLY Eurovision song in EXISTENCE!

 

[Lucille]

Johnny Logan REALLY.

 

[Beverley]

Johnny Logan REALLY.

Change threads babe

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Is he taking over from Kenny Rogers?

 

[OutSynk]

Ha knew it would be Waterloo.

Conchita snatching 2nd place from Loreen is quite a surprise. Conchita is absolutely the most famous winner from the last decade.

 

[SDF]

It is the right winner but Conchita coming second is

 

[Alla]

As if Rybak is going to finish 6th, ahead of those 3 UK CLASSICS, they made it up, right?

 

[dmlaw]

Heroes coming fifth does rather suggest that the basics were out in force. It didn't deserve to come as high as fifth in its own contest.

 

[lolly]

All four of the UK entries finishing top ten again makes me pleased we had no choice but to split our vote.

 

[Alla]

But who in their right mind was going to vote for that diabolic Rybak in 2020?

 

[lolly]

But who in their right mind was going to vote for that diabolic Rybak in 2020?

Have you not seen how public votes go on this godforsaken rock?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Is he taking over from Kenny Rogers?

As what?

 

[Diddy]

As what?

the shadow transport minister, and yes.

but that leaves a vacancy on the panel of Ireland’s Got Talant. A press conference will be held at 13.00 tomorrow to announce his replacement

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Just reading up on Johnny Logan. He seems like an absolute dick. To be fair aren't ALL the Irish winners TERRIBLE PEOPLE?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

How have we ended up talking about Johnny Logan in a topic about POPULAR ENTRIES?

 

[Zu]

Just reading up on Johnny Logan. He seems like an absolute dick. To be fair aren't ALL the Irish winners TERRIBLE PEOPLE?

Linda Martin is blatantly DISGUSTING but in a way I can only describe as

 

[Zu]

There's nothing basic about ABBA, but EVERYTHING BASIC about the British public behaving as if its the ONLY Eurovision song in EXISTENCE!

“Oh Ken, I know this one! Press the vote button! PRESS IT AGAIN!”

 

[Zu]

Heroes coming fifth does rather suggest that the basics were out in force. It didn't deserve to come as high as fifth in its own contest.

Tit vote

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I voted for Waterloo

 

[Zu]

Yes but you didn’t ONLY vote for Waterloo

 

[Soldi]

I ONLY voted for Soldi

 

[Zu]

Some of the songs in that top 10 (not referring to ABBA here; more their inferior UK equivalents) would suggest that the voters were quite elderly. Not that I’m not

 

[Halli]

I loved this last night. My votes were:

Abba
Gina G
Loreen

Was a good show - however was fucking pissed off by the end. It was like 'Oh Waterloo is the winner, BYE'

Really bad end to a decent and nice idea.
