Nul Points ...... The End Of An Era?

As you know, we found ourselves well and truly otherwise engaged on Saturday night, re: Eurovision ........

....... discovering that we were double booked after Chris McCausland rescheduled his shows, due to him accepting and subsequently winning Strictly 2024.

Let's just say he did not disappoint in any way, shape or form, he was brilliant  .....

...... however, I don't think the same can be said for the goings on in Basle!

We got home having missed every single song and trust us, we missed nowt, sitting ourselves down on the very cusp of the voting.

The only saving grace, which we caught and believe was the highlight of the four hour show for almost everyone, was the absolutely fantastic interval "Song Battle" between Kaarija (2023) and Baby Lasgana (2024) which was tres emotional, as both acts were grotesquely robbed of their right to hold the crystal Eurovision trophy aloft, because of, in our opinion, some very biased voting in their relevant years! 

In fact it was Kaarija being denied his deserved moment of triumph by a most unsavoury looking Loreen singing Tatoo in 2023 that prompted our Eurovision malaise. Even the audience was beside themselves in disbelief, were still chanting "Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha!" as the eventual unsavoury one took to the stage! 

And, it happened yet again this year for Estonia who ended up in third place, behind the "political" voting .......  

..... with Austria pipping Israel on the very last vote but by this time we'd all totally lost all interest and were in bed or brushing our teeth before the winner hit his first note! 

Yes, JJ could certainly hit the high notes, but with a song that no one else will ever be able to sing, let alone chant (or dance) to in years to come, whereas all three of the above will be remembered very fondly and make guest appearances in the competition for many years to come.  

At the moment it truly feels like the end of a televisual era for us, not helped by another nul points for the UK from the televoters?  "What The Hell Just Happened", seems a very poignant song with which to end said era. 

I think, we'll just park it here until next year and see if the mood happens to take us again!
