cajal Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Well here we are again approaching another major and formidable election requiring, where possible, your vote and what do France do? Their entrant for Saturday's eurovision extravaganza will, again, not be performing her rendition in the English language. Tsk!From this preview she certainly looks the business but I don't think that will be sufficient to cut it with the voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Why should she sing it in English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindal1000 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 France is in with a good chance this year. Quite a nice song and everyone loves France at the moment. Worth a bet I think. The British song this year is quite good but she will probably get zero. Italy is the favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm backing Australia [8-|] They sing in Strine and that's nowt like English either.I heard a rumour that they are applying for EU membership and to join €€€ too. Well, if they can get in the song contest for Europe then why not [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The lyrics are usually so banal, that it's better if you can't understand them IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindal1000 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Lovely winning song from Portugal, sung in Portuguese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Portugal? Part of Europe? WOW, they will be letting the whole world in soon? A bit like the EU I suppose?I saw about 15 seconds of that program and decided that whoever it was in the spotlight came second to the light show and switched the 'haunted fish tank' off.

lindal1000 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Australia now take part. The truth is no one really wants to win because they have to foot the bill for the whole shebang the following year. It's just a bit of fun for those who enjoy it. The French song was half in English and half in French, meaning she will now get more airplay on French radio.The Portuguese song was one of the few that didn't have an over produced stage set with lots of lighting and was just a very simple and traditional song. The UK song was said to be about the EU. http://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvfilm/eurovision-2017-viewers-mock-lucie-jones-ironic-song-never-give-up-on-you-after-brexit-a3538541.htmlWe watched the whole lot with friends and plenty of booze.
