Oh this political argument is so boring now. If Ukraine should've been dqed for being 'political' then Russia's peace songs should've been dq'ed as a song about peace is not political no? Also so many different songs could be interpreted as 'political' as well. Your Not Alone could be about the Britain's membership of the EU *rolls eyes*

Nicky still blaming the Eville Eastern block. He said only Western countries finished in the bottom 4, forgetting that Norway beat Slovenia and Albania. Also, I was reading the tweets about his performance too and the vast majority of the positive comments were from Irish people. A lot of people thought the song was bland and that his singing was bad. Maybe Ireland, Denmark, and UK failed because all the teenage girls were busy drooling over Donny Montell for some inexplicable reason. I just want to be 'bitch, really, you think you were going to do well singing THAT SONG now. He works in radio, surely he most know what a modern sounding pop song is, which Sunlight was not.' |

I have a feeling they might show some of the new voting - tension potential but also comedy potential if the Gogglebox-ers find it confusing.

Exactly, there are loads that would have to be disqualified as they 'could be political', the winners from 2014, 1997, 1982 and 1990 as well as all those songs that had to do with the Berlin Wall coming down plus many more over the years. Most countries have surely been guilty of this at some point.

Oh dear. Trial run on one of their insecure polls?

2004 and Liam Fox was my first "half" contest. By half I mean I was sent to bed after the songs ~9pm was bedtime on Fridays and Saturdays when I was 10. That was the same for 2005. But 2006 was my first full contest as I started going to bed the same time as my parents at 12 onwards. So technically 2016 was my 13th contest.

Nicky Bean fans, look away now...

well, 1999 is the first contest I have any memory of, I fell asleep and I thought Charlotte looked 'scary' even back then as a 6.5-year-old. First proper contest memory is 2003, I remember I nearly cried at us getting null points.
