I fared better this time

Armenia , Estonia , Cyprus , Iceland , Poland ( fabulously melodic) , Australia .

Only Iceland missed out

Catherine Tate facing calls to step down from Eurovision role over 'racist' sketch

Despite the honour of taking part in the voting of the Eurovision Song
Contest On Saturday, Catherine Tate is facing calls to be "cancelled".


Shortly after her role was announced, fans of the song contest demanded
Catherine be fired from the job and branded her "racist" after a previous
comedy sketch was recirculated.

The Offensive Translator, which was shown on The Catherine Tate Show,
mocked Britons' inability to speak other languages and Eurovision fans
claimed the comedian should be "fired" over it.

Twitter user @CRobertsUK fumed: "This is racism. Mimicking an accent,
especially a white person mimicking a non-white accent is racist."

Agreeing, @Oldeknight said: "I didn't find it funny at all. Anyone else would
get fired for this act."

@Nickeh added: "Please take this down. It's a racist video and by posting it, you're contribution to the system of racism."

The sketch in question was aired in 2006 and saw Catherine pretend to speak
in several different languages.

Eurovision Song Contest airs Saturday, May 13 from 8pm on BBC One.

Every single one of those Twitter users quoted need to see a Therapist if they're getting that worked up over a Comedic sketch from over a decade ago.

Seriously what is wrong with some people.

Sweden is massive favourite to win this year.
Loreen can do it again. I think she's awesome and I would love to see her live!

Vanessa 12-05-2023 08:40 PM

I'm going to watch all the performances, then go to bed. I can't stay up to late. I have work early morning.

I still like Poland but I presume it’s still a political voting nightmare so anybody can win

An educated guess would be Ukraine ( if they are in the final)

They will do well, but would they win again? I'm not sure.

Well everyone loves or feels like they should love Ukraine ( Russia aside ) so just presume most will mark their song ‘generously’

Finland a odds favourite, don't make me laugh


i reckon that one is bottom 5 at juries, maybe even 0 points therefore no chance at winning whatsoever


:laugh3: :laugh3:

Nicky91 13-05-2023 07:49 AM

i'm voting for Loreen tonight, to prevent a generic gibberish finland win

The jury will hate it, but the public will love it.
I still think Sweden could win this. Depending on the staging, it has to be spectacular to match Loreen amazing voice.
