Are there any petitions I can sign or organisations I can write to to make sure Amanda bleeping Holden is not allowed anywhere near Eurovision ever again?

I mean what an absolute cringefest, the ridiculous outfit, the embarassing attempt at Dutch and then her crass joke about languages, topped off with full cringe "I'm Amanda Holden". Just duck right off you talentless cowbag.
 
I actually think they should remove automatic qualification completely. Just make everyone qualify (apart from the winners and hosts who get automatic qualification - like the World Cup). If anyone deserves automatic qualification, it's Ireland for winning it 7 times, and we don't even qualify these days. On that point, I think it was bad form out of Ireland not to give the UK a few votes last night. You don't see this kind of carry on from Greece and Cyprus - douze points all the way guaranteed. UK song was bad but not the worst - that was Germany. Before you all come at me, I am Irish and fully qualified to make this statement. Lol. Bad form!

Why should Ireland give any points if they didn’t like the sone. You give the points to the song you rated the best.

Lol! That's really not how Eurovision works. Just ask Greece and Cyprus who give each other douze points every year without fail. It's a running joke. When I was a kid, UK and Ireland always used to throw a few points each others way, but I guess we don't care to do that any more now that we're never even in the contest.

I think there should be a way of hiding the countries so it’s a genuine song contest. I sure on the logistics given you can’t fart without the internet knowing though 😂😂😂😂

So you don’t know which country they’re representing? They should all sing in English so they can’t sing in their native language or alternatively sing in a different language to their own
 
i was very glad the italians won i thought the swiss act was shite and i liked france's song but it wasn't very eurovision. malta i thought was great and i wish she'd have got more points.

Might be an unpopular option but I think Britain would do better without automatic qualification. It’s the song is good enough it will make the final and have more of a chance of getting points.

I agree. I know the argument is that the poorer countries wouldnt be able to afford it if the big 5 didnt pay more, but the BBC still get huge ratings for quite a cheap show, so just because you pay more, doesnt mean you should automatically get through to the final. Or give the Big 5 slot to Sweden. They could pay the extra and they love Eurovision whereas here, its just a joke and cheap TV

i'm sorry but we weren't bad enough to be last and the staging wasn't as awful as it has been in previous years. i felt really sorry for james it just isn't fair and he knew what was coming but he absolutely took it like a champ.

Agreed. It was duck all to do with the song. There were much worse songs there who received points. He took it absolutely brilliantly, if it was me I would have left the premises lol. I hope he got nice and drunk afterwards

Lol back to you. I Grow up watching it as a child in the 90s in Ireland. I still enjoy watching it even when Ireland don’t make. If the song isn’t popular it will not go to the final.

yeah - just so you can’t see which country is which? Maybe pick 4 languages or so to pick from? Like I say it would be impossible in this day and age but it’s always going to be political isn’t it?

Sometimes I think it would be better if the U.K. just quit entering so we could sit back, drink and judge everyone else without having to deal with the harsh reality that everyone hates us

Germany were terrible but only got any points because Austria automatically gave them some out of pity. Ireland didnt bother doing that for us. James sang out of tune and ran out of breath halfway through. Its nothing to do with everyone hating us. We just don't put in the effort! Agree we werent the worst song, but at least pound shop Billie Eilish looked like she'd rehearsed more than once, as did that dreadful Belgian dirge!
I think Brits still have a bit of an Imperialist mentality, like 'Oh we're soo important everyone is jealous of us because we are so powerful, and they hate us because of Brexit, when most Europeans just don't spend that much time thinking about us, or Brexit, or how grateful they should be 80 years on that they don't live under the Nazi's!
