EUROVISION 2023 - General Discussion thread

[ESC United Mod Team]

This thread is for any general Eurovision 2023 discussion not limited to or specifically about any country's national selections or song choices.

Ive worked it out Alesha Dixon's marriage was ruined by Javine ( 2005) so this is some form of elaborate revenge

That reminds me of how this old Never Mind the Buzzcocks clip came up on YouTube the other day:

I really do hope that this year is like last year in the sense that the songs drastically improve once the internal selections kick in.

Like and ?
It's already happening, imo xD

 

[HarryUK]

Isn't BGT always around the same time as Eurovision??? The girl can't do both. I actually quite like Alesha so don't quite get the hate. Although I think the actual presenters will most likely be already contracted to the BBC.

I want a drag queen host! Plenty from Drag Race UK who are BBC contracted… Tia Kofi perhaps? She’s a super fan!

Tia isn't really a great host... but... Lawrence Chaney absolutely is

Tia would be great in the green room! Lawrence would definitely warrant subtitles for most of Europe haha

That is what I meant and I want that to continue happening.

This year started weak but at this point I actually like it more than 2022. I really like how unique and experimental some songs are (Eaea, My sisters crown for example). The potential Top 5 this year (so far) is pretty strong.

Sorry everyone but I had a dream last night that the flag ceremony was set to Scooch’s flying the flag

Well, wouldn't BBC?

A dream

On another note, BBC, give us the tickets NOW

 

[MopManMoss]

Im so glad Graham Norton is actually hosting

 

[HarryUK]

Hannah Waddingham!!!!!! I am obsessed

I do hope our commentator this year will be decent in place of Graham though

Surely its just going to be Rylan and Scot mills seeing as theyve been doing the semis since tel aviv

 

[Looren]

Hannah Waddingham!!!!!! I am obsessed

She played in Les Misérables, can only approve that choice

 

[MopManMoss]

So even when eurovision is here Norton doesnt bloody do semis???

According to the eurovision website he'll also be doing what Wogan did in 1998 hosting and commentating??? "For the Grand Final commentary on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom, Graham Norton and actress and comedian Mel Giedroyc"

 

[Looren]

Oh and Alesha is also one of the hosts ? Excellent UK

 

[HarryUK]

Surely its just going to be Rylan and Scot mills seeing as theyve been doing the semis since tel aviv

I just read the article in full and it’s Graham and Mel Giedroyc taking it in turns

 

[Synergise]

Hannah Waddingham!!!!!! I am obsessed

I do hope our commentator this year will be decent in place of Graham though

She's such a leftfield choice but I think she'll be great!

 

[FilipFromSweden]

GRAHAM NORTON YAAAAY!!

 

[12Pointsgoto.....]

All of the BGT Judges rub me the wrong way, especially David. I really really hope she (or any of them for that matter) is hosting. It will make the shows a bit too unbearable.

Well ok, at least we have norton
