Eurovision 2025

Eurovision 2025 is soon to be upon us, with the semifinals on Tuesday and Thursday (8pm GMT) and the finals on Saturday 17th - anyone else watching? Any favourites or potential winners?

I'm usually terrible at picking winners, as I tend to go towards the quirky europop type tunes that don't do as well as they should (my fave last year got disqualified ). This year I'd kill for Australia to win as their song is just pure bonkers. Failing that I'd go for Estonia or Sweden but here's quite a few banging tunes this year. I like the UK's song but I doubt it'll do well which is a shame as they can sing really well.

I always pay attention, even if I pretend not to

 

[Bad Pink Tink 2.0]

Looking good for Ireland this year, a Euro Dance song with a singer from Norway. Should get the Norwegian high points as they will be supporting her. Last year we had our best result in years, 6th in main show. Ireland are in the second semi final so hopefully we get through to the main show again this year.

Agreed I do like Ireland's and last year was great, if a bit unusual! Am I right in thinking Ireland have failed to qualify for the finals quite a few times in recent years, excluding last year? Will keep fingers crossed they get through, be shocked if they don't with that song!

Yuval Raphael! Beautiful sound and beautiful soul.

Any thoughts from anyone on the first semi-final? I have to admit there's a couple of songs I liked that didn't get through which I was quite disappointed about - Belgium was a shock!
