Eurovision: Come Together
BBC One

BBC One and Graham Norton bring the country together for a special Eurovision broadcast - Eurovision: Come Together on Saturday 16 May.

Produced by BBC Studios the show will feature classic Eurovision performances, a look at what would have been in 2020 and entertaining interviews, including this year’s UK entry James Newman.

  • Eurovision: Come Together will be produced by BBC Studios for BBC One
 
Oh god, it's just going to be what they used to fill the national finals with

Katrina and the waves DELIGHTED
 
I thought the EBU were putting something central together? It would be a shame to miss out on that because of whatever drivel the BBC decide to do (just like interrupting semi final interval acts to show Mel Giedroyc driving people around in a taxi)
 
I think the BBC thing will be the same clips we are QUITE USED TO SEEING tbh

It will definitely be aimed at a light entertainment audience rather than the hardcore fan base. Don’t expect anything from this year to be much more than the YT videos of Iceland/Russia/Lithuania + Bulgaria, Sweden and Malta if they are LUCKY :eyes:

If the BBC are doing it I doubt they'll mention much of 2020 apart from James Newman. I hope I'm wrong.
 
If this is to fill the schedule void, then I wonder if this is just one programme, and whenever the EBU come up with will also be on? It won’t need to be a live show, so they can slot it anywhere. I doubt it would be 3+ hours anyway

They've both announced things for Saturday 16 May, but hopefully there's flexibility in that.
 
I wonder which well know Eurovision they could be singing with altered lyrics in a show entitled 'Europe Shine A Light'?
 
There seemed to be/have been some live performances popping up on YouTube. Should’ve checked before I posted this but I need the post count
 


Ryan Shaughnessy from Ireland a few years ago with the gay romance
Tamara from FYROFYROM last year
Zlatko or whatever his name is from Montenegro with the spinning ponytail
Rasmussen the flop Viking from Denmark
 
Tamara slumming it on the floor in some nasty hoody. :D

Is that woodchip wallpaper I spot as well?
 
BTW an open call - I know the CD is a while away but I have been abstaining from the 2020 entries (with a handful of exceptions).

does any kind soul have the whole lot in CD quality (not Spotify, japan has different rights issues :()

I don't think they're all out in a proper form, I've been relying on Youtube which isn't great as some of them have the 'Te Deum' sting at the start.

Presumably all acoustic versions which really suck the energy out of anything?
 
Is there a rate the entries that never were thread? Such a shit year to be fair so quite fun they are never to see the light of day. Weirdly enjoying imagining The Mamas shock win in my dreary quarantine run eurovision fantasies.

Not a banger in sight.

There'll be a contest at some point soon.
 
The official CD's been pushed back to Friday 15 May now.

I know it was suggested we hold off on Moopyvision until it's out and on Spotify, but that means we'd probably be extending into June! I propose we do the semis from the start of May in the couple of weeks leading up to the contest date, and then can run the final in the week after the 15th when the CDs out?
 
The official album is finally out!

I'd love it if they did the usual karaoke version too as I enjoy those, but I guess that's a long shot:

 
The EireVision Song Contest is tonight from 8. International voters can take part.

 
I notice the Germans did a review show as well that came up on YouTube.
 
I'm totally out of the loop on what has been on where and when. I've not watched anything broadcast this week.

Here for Germany though, particularly if it heavily features Joy Fleming.
 
So pleased and genuinely relieved that this is all nearly over :tongueout:

Mind you, Sweden did us proud with a truly glorious extravaganza last night :disco::D:disco:
 
Can anyone explain to me what the hell is this and why is this person giving the UK points? :D:D:D (14'20") DEAD.
