Potentially a bit spoilery but interesting.

You should see my living room, it looks like a BNP meetings happening, tons of bunting and flags

i've stopped watching now.
the only entry i fancied this year "beauty never lies", didn't even make it through

i guess that's the end of a 3 year run of picking the winner of the contest

Are you surprised? This is wiwibloggs we're talking about.

besides, it confirms nothing. All that interview tells us is that they want to compete, not that they will or that they will even be allowed.

True. It does confirm their intention of competing thought and EBU hasnt told them no.

And They Will broadcast the shows live for the first time.

Katie Hopkins is spouting bile about the contest on twitter

I wonder what she will say About Serbia's entry considering it features her most hated group. One of these days she will fall foul of inciting racial hatred.

da33431 · 22/05/15 - 14:19

This thread is very surreal today, Serbia haven't qualified, will China takeaway the prize next year and suspect BNP gatherings

Overweight women, gay lords or foreigners?

Crikey, what was that racket on BBC R2 Eur just then?

BBAnne · 22/05/15 - 14:27

I'm just watching Lovers on the Sun by David Guetta (yeah, never heard it before!) it's very similar isn't it?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPiW0tkWfeg

Can anyone here point me in the direction of the video that Mans was meant to be plagiarising just so's I can have a look please?

Verses similar, wouldn't say the choruses were. I think the chorus is more in John Newman's style.

Here's what you are looking for Anne

I actually saw about China on ESCUnited forums this morning, perhaps I should have posted it here and got my ow exclusive.

BigBmad · 22/05/15 - 14:36

I get annoyed with these eurovision sites and bloggers now. Always looking for controversy over any little thing, I prefer just sticking to forums for esc news now

Cheers Ulfie, I do agree, the verses are so similar - I was watching on my lappy and hubster came in and said "Oh, that's Sweden isn't it?" :cool:

In respect of that video, I don't really see the problem - seems that they've expanded a concept rather than big fat nicked it
