So, the uk entry has been pushed of for the next one. I ask you, how do they find such awful emo noises to fill the space. I can see a historic first negative coming up! No I won’t post links to it, don’t want the association. I would say however it is a missed opportunity, with brexit (which I couldn’t care less about either way), they had the opportunity to use:

The song you suggested was very emotional. I see myself as a quite stoic man, but I had a hard time keeping my eyes dry. It spoke to the very core of my humanity.

Missed opportunity for sure.

Yep, me as well.

On the topic of (past) missed opportunities in the history of Eurovision, this may have been one of the biggest:

Funny. What’s more funny is “The lyrics in ze Englisch language”. Was that done by Allo’ Allo’? I don’t follow?

I could swear I recall hearing as a small kid some Eurovision winning song where the in the lyrics there was a part where the singer (I think he was a man) kept repeating "Eurovision... Eurovision...".

The reason it blew my mind back then was how differently he pronounced the word to what I was used to hearing ("Eurovision"). To me it sounded like he was repeating "Öööö-hooo-viiz-jo". Who the heck pronounces the word like that? Maybe he was singing in French or German, not sure.

I just checked the winner songs by year from Wikipedia, and I couldn't locate such song. I could swear it was a winning song, but maybe I remember wrong. Hey, I was a small kid, kid's can make mistakes! Maybe he became second or something.
