I thought the singer reacted well and took it on the chin given the circumstances and there was so much support for him in the venue which was good to see.
Even if he did look like he was off to an illegal dog fight straight after.D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

How prescient of them to give the UK nil points in 2003 too. So forward thinking these Eurovision types.
If a song is rubbish and / or performed badly it generally does badly. There are exceptions, of course, but it's the general outcome.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Irrelevant.
The high ups at the BBC need to take a good long look at themselves for continuing to this farcical tv show

Why don’t we just send them the money and stay at home to avoid the embarrassment and humiliation?Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.
despite my best efforts ( 3 beers, a bottle of VC and a whisky ) I somehow managed to not sleep through the event. I hate it with a vengeance.
My Italian wife * hated the Italian entry and wanted France to win.
* no, this is not "as against my other wife". one is deffo enough.

Yes Derek - guarantees a place in the final and a chance every year to get Nil Points
German and Spain the same and fared barely any better.
Italy and France on the other hand got good value for their contribution and guaranteed place in the final!Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

With six points, we have doubled you six times, so I firmly believe that you should seriously think about give us back Gibraltar !!
