Eurovision 2021 - Grand Finale discussion thread!

Excitement :woo:

I don't have a favourite entry but I did like lithuania's one from last year so I think they might still be my favourite. They seem cool :yy:

This years UK entry seems much better but still not good enough to win
idk one of the favourites probably, that's what happened last year with the guy from the Netherlands lol I didn't like his song (boring :bored:

)

I've only seen a few entries, but my favourites so far are France, Ukraine and Lithuania (will they do better than LT United in 2006??).
Of those, France probably has the best chance.

I like Ireland’s entry :yep:

Who is the Spokesperson giving out UK’s douze points?

How will this years Eurovision work because of coronavirus/be different

-This year ESC had 4 scenarios to try and make Eurovision happen.
In the end scenario B was decided which is a socially distanced smaller audience of just 3500.
- Artists have the choice to have backing vocals to be recorded on tape to reduce the amount of singers on stage
-if any country cannot travel or has to quarantine all countries have been asked to give a live tape recording of their performance

SO

Who's excited? :biggrin:

Nope! This is me :tongue:

I never watch the semis!
I admit I did watch the lithuanian and UK entries out of my own interest but all the others are a mystery to me so can't wait to hear them tonight :woo:

Hope you enjoy it too!

Yea i agree :five:

I watched one of the semis once out of curiosity when I was younger, just to see what it was actually like but it didn’t really add much apart from getting to hear some of the songs which didn’t qualify for the final
