    Finals are on Saturday Night.

    I'm stopping the night at my friend's to watch it.

    Anyone else watch this amazing annual event?

    I'll probably be stressed out with exams but I'll still probably make the effort. I remember watching it a couple of years ago and enthusiastically yaying and booing and very loudly accusing the Polish point-giving person of kidnapping people and raping them in his basement even though I was in a bar and not my living room.

    I'll be watching it if I can find a way! We don't have a TV license or TV aerial so I can't watch it on TV. I have been trying to find if any of the local pubs are doing anything, but haven't found anything yet.

    Hopefully there will be streaming video online and I can get the sound from Radio 2 - and they won't be too far out of synch! Any ideas, anyone?

    It's the one day each year I wish we did have TV. The other 364 days I don't care.

    I have been listening to the CD this evening. Our song is hopeless, and I suspect we'll be coming close to last again. I think we have given up trying.

    It should be on http://www.eurovision.tv That's where we'll be watching it from.

    There is a "watch again" for Tuesday's semi-final on there now.

    In the UK, yes. It pays for the BBC, which doesn't have adverts. You need a license even if you never watch the BBC channels but watch other channels. You don't need a license if you have a TV for playing DVDs or gaming though.

    Eurovision is to me a show where some of the shittiest song ever are sung, but I will still watch it.

    Lordi is the worst ever mix of people that cant sing nor play instruments ever. I'd listen to anything over that

    I tried to watch the semi-final through the streaming video on www.eurovision.tv this evening but it kept cutting out and losing connection etc. Hopefully it will be working better on Saturday, but I doubt it.... :frowning2:

    The first semi-final has just started on the television here and I have it on in the background. There really isn't much else on, hence why I am watching Eurovision.
