'Eurovision Has Become A Cultural Dustbin' | Mike Graham BLASTS Song Contest

- Mike Graham and Virgin Radio's Steve Denyer discuss the controversies surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, including the over-sexualization of performers and the lack of attention given to female acts.
Steve Denyer argues that the event has become too controversial and that the BBC should rethink its approach for coverage, while Mike Graham suggested moving the contest to BBC Three. The conversation highlighted the perceived bias towards certain countries and the need for a more inclusive and respectful approach to the event.
It comes as Bambie Thug has accused the Eurovision Song Contest organisers of not supporting them over a row with Israel.
The “ouija pop” star secured a sixth place finish in Ireland’s first grand final of the music event since 2018.
Ireland attracted the top 12 point allocation from the Australian jury vote, as well as a 10 from the UK audience as part of a total of 136 from the overall audience vote, but ultimately failed to catch eventual winner Switzerland’s Nemo.

Total freak show.
It was fine outside of Ireland
Yes twat TV is
Disgusting sh*t show
You should be in it.😂
It was this year, feel sorry for the likes of the French guy!
Humza would have hated it... Estonia white!, Germany white! Spain white, Netherlands white!.. 😂
I know. How dare all those Europeans be on a show about Europeans. It really is shocking, not a Burka to be seen.
😄 At least it surved ONE purpose then.
You have plus 150 IQ
😂👏👏👏👏
Of course white,this is Europe!
The gap between the European public voting for Israel and the juries ignoring it is crazy
"rather unsavoury" is a bit of an understatement in my opinion.
just a gay pride parade and the silent majority are fed up with it, hence the UK got nil points from the audience, we do not want these exhibitionists
They might have cleaned that toilet up before they held their orgy there. No wonder VDs are rampant...
I laughed when Olly got Nil points from the people’s vote, well deserved. 🥴🥴
You’re not the silent majority, hon. Hence why the majority voted for the ones you dislike most. 🙃
Yet we are probably the gay capital of Europe.
@@brendomiryr Israel got the second amount of votes. I think that says a lot.
Get rid of the euro vision as its not a song contest anymore all that money that gets spent on this, its filth now it really is
It was more like The Rocky Horror Show.
Like most things the lefties get involved with, they decend into filth or violence
@@GlenRoss-ug5jmIreland hahaha
Shame on you BBC disgusting show
"All of this is only possible because of the unique way the BBC is funded". (their words) 🙂
If only you could blow a raspberry on here, if you don't like it don't watch it, I wouldn't watch songs of praise and so steer clear.
@@chrisredding6673I’m not funding the chomo company.
And we pay for most of it.
@leeburkitt1442 ...but why should people have to switch off ? This was supposed to be a family show. We pay the BBC and they chose this gay P*rnfest
No longer a family show
Families are overrated
@@martinspeer262 Stop the family and this s**t is what happens
Debauchery at its worst . Sodom & Gomorrah.
Who ever said it was a family show Chrissy? You? 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@robertdexter5342 it used to be yeah
UK's entry looked like men cottaging in a tiled toilet, no wonder it scored Null Points. 😂
Lol Strangely that's what I first thought... I was like... Are they supposed to be in a toilet block or something
it was absolutely disgusting
"A cultural dustbin", Ive' been looking for a description like that for ages. Well said.
It used to be a show of bad songs but it used to be a for all the family to watch whereas it was just a sleaze fest on Saturday prime time absolutely disgusting.
Just a queer cabaret now.
Go back to bed grandma
@@suepemrather than what exactly??
Surely Palestine will be invited to take part next year.
@@scabthecat is Palestine in Europe? maybe you need an atlas
Should be called the European Wrong 'Un Contest
Totally! Genocidal contestants obviously not welcome!
@@userfile007 Hamas didn't front a contestant though.
Soooooo Very Very Seriously
TRUE!!!!!!!!!
plenty of wrong uns to choose from
Hilarious! Did you think that up all by yourself?
Horrible freak show and shameless!! As a gay man I am shocked about the over sexual soft porn style and diabolical shows , especially from UK, Ireland and Finland ! There is so much hate from the audience to anyone who does not agree with them . I loved the entry of Israel! I won’t watch it anymore, Eurovision died this year !!
This year's no different to previous years so it's probably best not to watch it going forward. Not sure what being gay has to do with it, I'm gay and wasn't offended at all. Bring on Eurovision 2025!!!!

I remember ABBA, Brotherhood of Man, Lulu, Cliff Richards , Dina from Ireland. So many others who just sang their song with no woke agenda.
This is the reason I stopped watching the travesty many years ago.
When I found out that the Israeli song was placed 5th I watched the video of the performance.
Then I decided to watch the video of the competition winner.
I only managed around 6/7 seconds of the "winner " before I had to switch off.

Dana
@@personalcheeses8073 Yes Dana with "All kinds of everything", Johnny Logan, Linda Martin, wonder how they enjoyed Ireland's entry this year ...
Sandie Shaw - puppet on a string
Cliff Richard!!! Yes! That crumbly old gal. She entered twice!!
The Israeli was the only one with a class
No france too..acapella no backing or dancers. I voted israel tho or else id vote france on song
France and Portugal too !!!!!
Boring as hell yes
@@PastaSauce.Fake edgy is boring too
Boooooooo
This should have had a warning for children not to view.
Broadcasting standards were broken.
Exactly what I thought. Even normal gay people hate to see this. They push this in your face and that is so bad for the imago of gay people.
@@joe.my-strow I know, one of my best friends is gay and she is horrified at the whole recent expression of the movement.
It was either gay or goth 🙄 Gagoth 😂
I get the impression that this is exactly the type of thing the popular culture wants children to absorb and internalize.
Did any of you grow up with MTV in the 90s? stop being dramatic
Where's the problem? Ireland returning to its pagan roots with that song.
It’s just cosplay, in her case. She’s just today’s version of Twink or Lulu masquerading as alternative.
“The Irish entry that didn’t do very well at all”
It finished 6th 😂
My personal favorite of the show!
Sorry but this act is just another Kate Bush wannabe.
Can't let a pesky little thing like facts get in the way of a TalkTv culture war
The Irish entry did well and it finished 6th but its funny that the UK got 0 points and it finished 18th place so the irish all ways wins🤭🤣🤣😂😂
It was a fab, fascinating performance.
Comparing it to a dust bin is offensive to dust bins, more of a sewer in the London plagues era.
I agree it has become total freak show and political theatre
I haven’t watched in years, Terry Wogan must be turning in his grave, God rest his soul.
He used to be the only thing worth tuning in for ! Bet he would have loved Bambi Thug or whatever it calls itself.
I adored Terry Wogan❤️
Terry was an awful commentator
Wogan, and Ken Bruce, replaced by a pair of mincers from Gaydio 2.
Get your art correspondent (if you have one) to critique the Irish performance.
Gone are the days when we used to sit with our children to watch it. Scrap the whole thing
😮
I was horrified that a contest that was about the song and the performance had become this grotesque hideous monstrosity. UK entry was at best embarrassing in every way. I felt ashamed and disgusted.
It was actually a composer's contest in the past and the turned into something else, I don't know what but it's deranged now
I cannot even watch UKs performance, shame!
Disgusted! There are many things in life, of importance, to be disgusted about. Over a song though????
You still pay the Pedophile BBC No Excuses
@@leeburkitt1442Join the English Club Who also Dont Care if England Tops the EU For Pedophiles Child Abuse Grooming Gangs Wake Up With So Many Perverted Acts this Was Planned by Pure Evil Pedophiles Trying to Corrupt Pervert the Minds of Children As you Don't Get this ?????????
Whole competition is a joke I'll sign a petition now, not to enter it again
Snap
Instead of trying to change things to the positive, you Brits always just throw the towel and quit everything. You could start improving things by sending a good singer...
No need for a petition just stop watching and leave others to have fun.
@@peter84624I don’t think any good singers would dare. It could actually be worse for their reputation.
@@peter84624 right in some aspects to us throwing the towel in but I thought this years singer was fine, he's no Sam Ryder and I feel it might be a long time before we find another Sam.....
The feeling of being dragged to a sex dungeon.
I could almost smell the urinals during our entry. Yuck.
I laughed so loud at your comment.
True though. For us non gay people.
Still love Eurovision. Everybody knows it's never been a fair system, but it's too entertaining not too watch.
@@chrisredding6673 yet there were no bogs in the set?
I object to my license fee paying for this trash.... I dont watch it but did catch the UK car crash...dismal garbage from him. Time to stop it now...bloody awful.
I couldn't watch the clown.
Well said 100% agree with you it should be renamed LGBT Euro Freak Fest!
You still paying for this crap omg
Shameful
I have memories of family gathered around the TV 📺
Now I don’t want to watch and you would never let children watch it disgusting 🤮
To think we went from ABBA to this!! Music has regressed by centuries
There are age limits on films, why not Eurovison? Eurovision is no longer a family show, take it off the air, you can see why Turkey banned it in their country. Its adult only! Eurovision has turned into an "LGBT fest freak show", only applicable to a minority of people. Far too many artist drama and politics. I live in England, I tried to vote for Israel and the phone land line wasn't working when I tried to vote at the start of the competition.
I wanted to select zisrea
Exactly how the left likes it, they have become the European version of the Grammy's. Degeneracy in overdrive, paid for with our tax money!
Jeez lighten up. People act like it’s the 1950’s
it makes me so angry that Israel have to put up with all of this hatred. I am not Jewish but I am 100% behind Israel. For goodness sake it was hammas who started the war , why all this palistine bilge making the headlines
I guess you can cut LG out, most of them won't have anything to do with these clowns either.
Then why does the media refer to the winner as "they" instead of a bloke in a miniskirt?
Scared of lawfare by the queers. I agree with you.
Nemo expressed that preference for their pronouns in English. However, the artist started this only a year ago. I would expect that Nemo returns to a male identity before long.
@@erikt1713 I don't think so. "They" thinks "they" are making a statement and being oh so cool and appealing. One can only wonder in dismay how far society will have sunk by the time "they" eventually grow up or grow out of it.
@@purplefee9210 I think an artist can be allowed a bit of eccentricity without endangering our society.
In recent years my daughter only had one classmate who changed to a boy for about a year before changing back to a girl. In Switzerland we do this exclusively with hairstyle, clothes and pronouns and there was no damage to the health of the school kid. The other kids were very flexible with this choice and I think they all learned something, e.g. how to be inclusive, and that the human condition is liable to change.
for the same reason you are not referred to as that bigoted bloke that drinks all day in Wetherspoons! 😆
Eden was the only true talent there. The rest dressed and acted slightly deranged like the protesting. Yisrael Chai 🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🇮🇱
👍👏👏👏👏👏
I didnt watch it, i knew it would be trashy, its digusting
Just like the common market, the original concept has been totally altered
I think the common market always have World Domination as it's goal. It just didn't tell anyone back then.
Far too sleazy now
Ok grandma
You give it too much credit, it rivals the program Eurotrash on steroids.
Eurotrash was funny, this was just trash.
We use to laugh at Eurotrash , now it is trying to be mainstream
I used to love Eurotrash, it was a fun show.
3/4 of the contestants were avowed freaks. Beautiful women with great voices and good choreography hardly got any points - Cyprus and Austria. Normal women such as Italy, Portugal, and Georgia were hardly in the run. The French contestant had a great voice and song, no scandal, and managed to get into the top 5 while winning Israel's jury 12 points. I voted for Israel, first time I've ever watched and voted in my life- you can't vote for the candidate in the country you're voting from.
Eurovision needs to be cleaned up, by the right people!!!
It just needs to be cancelled
It Absolutely
Most Seriously & Completely
Damn Well Does!!!!!!!!!!
The israel contestant Eden was the only normal looking person with an emotional ballad. That is probably why she did so well with the public. Total freak show.
Oh, what about Latvia, Armenia, Ukraine? Or you just endorse putin fans?
Yes. She was classy. Dressed well, pretty, no message, and the song was good.
@lr2550 lol. What has Israel got to do with Russia. Golan's mother is of Ukrainian-Jewish descent, and her father is of Latvian-Jewish descent.
The German guy was pretty decent too. Not the best looking but a great voice
@@lr2550 I just checked, Russia are not involved in the Gaza situation
A cross between a Pride March and a really naff Goth Weekend
The Eurovision song context has become too political. Disgraceful behaviour has taken over. Why are certain contestants booed?. Stop bullying people you don't agree with.
Well it was only Israel who were booed and unless you live under a rock we all know there's a war on. There are many differing views around Israel participating but Russia being banned. Just putting context, it was only one country booed, far worse happens at football matches etc
It was about isreal celebrating and singing while they committed genocide.
Most of the 'songs' seemed to be without a time signature and were a cacophony. The Croatia and Israel's entry were quite acceptable, but I gave it up at 10.00 p.m. Too woke and gay too!!
It is not worth watching it. It is trash. 😢
Euro trash😂😂
Word for word only song that hit me at the heart was Israel she was good
All visuals, no music. A descent into hell. I voted for Israel because the bullies were out in force booing them. Only watched three performances. Awful. Grim. Only broadcast after 11.00pm preferably on Sky or Netflix.
Israel was all about music and love.
No visuals, are you blind?
My prayers answered. UK = 0
Deserved!!
BBCrap.
They should rename it Eurovision Clown Festival, it was so ridiculous, full porn and occult images. It has become the same garbage as the Grammy's..
Totally grotesque, not fit for television, if this is what humanity has become then god will abandon us all
Have come to the conclusion that anything shown by the pathetic bbc isn't worth watching.
Eurovision a complete load of woke garbage.
Even Dr Who, have waited 5 months for the new series, watched the first 10 minutes, was totally fed up , all the Dr. did was ponce around like a fairy. It certainly wasn't worth the hype and it was a far cry from the original series.
Actually I turned over to deal or no deal, it was more interesting.
I've been a follower of Dr Who since 1963 this present bell 🔔 end is a massive joke.
Dr Who? Is it not dead yet ?
@MsStack42 . Not quite, but with present incumbent it won't be long. He prances around like a fairy on steroids.
Exactly. Rtd is now a political activist and along with most of the cast happily tels anyone wanting a sci fi show to f off because he wants to push dei.
You are absolutely right very disappointing load of over-hyped nonsensical rubbish
I only lasted ten minutes too .
Rename it. The Indoctrination Song Contest.
Exactly
Im 42. For all my life I did not miss the eurovision until this year .. Its just mostly disgusting to wach . No talent ( ish 😊 ) no fun 😢
Turns super Gay... now it's sexualized and super woke, left wing. Strange that.
The DEVIANTS contest
'A bit dark!' Did he miss the Satantic ritual?
Celtic paganism is not satanic.
Abra kadabra is satanic? lol
@@candidapple Avada Kedavra is what she says and that's straight from Harry Potter.
Datk, Freaky,Hateful ..,
Lack of talent. Nemo was good - but not THAT good!
France good, but what was he doing on stage ? Like some male stripper.!
Israel truelly talented,beautiful natural girl,
Croria also very good lots of energy, rhytthm !
But what with the judges - supposed to be music experts ?
All pulled a Biden, totally betrayed true talent!
So corrupt !
Did tvey have an agreement to mostly vote for
Swtzerland ?
A joke that jury !!!
A great build-up and a total letdown !
Kudos to swedish police that secured the place !
It’s new to Swedish police to have to deal with this level of hate and destructiveness ! Sweden used to be a rahther quiet country !
Not any more !
Malmö has become an all muslim city with all the ramificatilns !
I'm so glad I haven't had a licence since 2003 😊
What happened to Long live love? It was shocking
More like a horrid heaving hatefest.
Olivia is dead. I suspect you’re not far off either?
Sorry I am broad minded, but a song contest we enjoyed in the 1960’ and 70’s has been high jacked by a minority representative of the overall population. The production, dancers and general sleeze seems more important than the music. What music there is seems so similar to all the rest (ok so was BOOM, Banger Bang Boom by Lulu). The voting is political and regional and takes for ever.
Let the Gay and Trans people have their own contest and either scrap Eurovision or make it just about the song again.
Then how do you explain dear Cliff Richard? She entered twice.
Our entry was awful.
Last time I seen it bucks fizz won it now it's full of freaks
The only freak here is you 😂
I object to this being compared to a dustbin!
My bin(s) sure way cleaner and perform a benefit to society and the environment.
😁👏👏👏👏
It's all about getting your PERFOMANCE noticed. It's not about the song. Be shocking, be diverse, be inclusive, be PC, but at all costs virtue signal how with the times you are.
This 'discussion' is so full of factual inaccuracies it's laughable 😅😅
Ireland was the only act i liked and Ireland have been making fun of the Eurovision for years because of how political it is.
It's clear now more than ever who is the side that comes from hate and who is coming from love.
Eurovision aka Blue Oyster Bar.
Hilarious!! Did you think that up yourself?
Raunchy is not the word. It was just disgusting in every sense of the word and left a nasty taste in the mouth. I only watched it so I could vote for Israel.
If you don't like it don't watch it? 🤷♂️ 162 million people enjoy it though, so leave them to it and watch something else. Problem solved 👍
The BBC sent two gay men (Rylan and Rob Rinder) on a trip to Italy to be.....well...gay, put on a show called "I Kissed a Girl" for Lesbians, hosted by Danni Minogue, who apparently has suddenly decided after MANY years that she is "queer", continually plugged The Eurovision Freak Show and and course given us a new Dr Who.....it almost seems like a theme.....and all have been heavily promoted over the last couple of weeks.
The world is changing, it's called .living with the times. Equality is vital because if you remove our equalities someone will come for yours next. I imagine people made these types of comments about black people years ago. If you don't like something stop making yourself angry by watching it. Otherwise, get with the program and have some fun.
@@leeburkitt1442 Yes the world is changing, but not for the better. Whilst I am all for diversity and equality there needs to be common sense used. People are following blindly because they are scared to saying anything that doesn't fall into the current social contagion. I have no problem with "representation"......I do, however, have a major problem with "over-representation" which is what we have currently. I feel very lucky that I grew up in the 60's when quality and talent were the markers not "box-ticking".
Every program the BBC now does is about sexual identity. Where will this nonsense end?
@@MrGettysburg44👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@MrGettysburg44my only last thought would be you mention "over representation" which I assume is towards gay / binary people. 10% of the population is gay / binary etc, if you added up the hours of TV do you think there would be more than 10% is actually a representation of this world? I'm assuming you're straight and so enjoy never having to question your identity etc. Eurovision is 4 hours in one year, give us a bit of a break please.
Eurovision is an opportunity for odd people to exhibit themselves and their fantasies. Normal people just get on with life.... so glad I'm not a TV licence payer, who contribute to this freak show...
Talk TV completely misses the point. The buhing by the public was because of Joost Klein not allowed to attend the final. And why simplify this to woke or not woke???? Exactly these simplifications create tensions. Just listen to each other.
To be fair the nude ones scored very low points.
Croatia, Switzerland, Ukraine, Greece, France and Italy were very good performance wise and song wise, hence they scored highly.
A sensible person on here!!!! Have you fallen into here like i did and now I'm trapped by reading the comments, each one gets funnier.....
Bambi thug was actual voted 6th so that’s pretty good compared to the rest
I'm sorry, but the UK entry this year was appalling. I do take some pride and thank god we, Portuguese, try to remain tasteful in our selection. And the UK jury recognized that, as did with Salvador, back in 2017. 🇵🇹🤝🏻🇬🇧
Not worth discussion. Time to ignore.
It’s had its day! It’s now a political ‘thing’, has been for a number of years. British tv should end showing it.
These boomer are so funny. Music has always been political.
David Bowie, freddie Mercury, the cure, KISS… they all thrived in the 70s.
When britney spears or madonna sexualise music, it’s fine but when men do it it’s wrong. How laughable.
It was a big load rubbish, bring back good music, and family friendly!
Sound boring to me
it was still too family friendly for me
The outfit for the Slovenian singer was so transparent you could practically see what she’d had for her lunch!
Damn I missed that .
@@chrisgoff6544😂😂😂
They did always tell us at the end of who got the most public votes.
Overrall Ireland and Switzerland got the most combined points
Israel had the best song, not that much freakshow either. They have been a member of EBU for many years, that is why they have been participating since the beginning of the seventees.
Bambi Thug was on Irish TV yesterday cursing that she hadn't won. Bizaarly she blamed the organisers for her fail, which seems to suggest she was promised a win.
Revolting satanic act
She was horrible. She did far better than she deserved to and her attitude says it all.
The cultural hellhole that used to be Ireland. Yeah, great.....
@@MsStack42 Bambi wasn't born in Ireland, her parents are Swedish. She was selected by the WEF controlled RTE. It's all very suspect.
@@outoforbit00. I think her father is Swedish and her mother is Irish from County Cork. She was educated in Cork.
7 minutes and 30 seconds of grown men reflecting on their own insecurities...
Poor babies... 🤣🤣🤣
Thank god ABBA had the good sense to give it a wide birth
Is it wide berth? Not a native English speaker so I wasn't familiar with the expression. Did ABBA refuse to partake in the 'celebration'?
@@renatopinto3186 yes wide birth just means they didn’t want to take part 👍
Absolute rubbish will never watch it again , and the great Britain song whoever chose that should be ashamed of themselves it was awfull the guy can't even sing 😂
Not worth the air time now mate it's over for another 12 months...thank god !
I can't stand Switzerland winning!
Political Broadcasting Union, or LGBTQES-CONTEST
8 million viewers in this day and age is extraordinary, it was a fantastic show,
Best of freaks
Didn't one of them dance with his nob out!
The sexual innuendo overruled the songs ....also the political messages from audience and certain singers spoiled the whole show .
Time to call a halt to this farce .
This is not music it's computer generated noise, computer generated light shows and mindless choreography. The only way for this to change is for the public to switch the stuff off
We live in a sick world.
When I was young, it was up there with the Philarmonic, the Royal Opera and the National Gallery.
Imagine getting upset about something you don't care about and that doesn't impact your life.
Ireland did better than most…..sixth
PORTUGAL was the greatest loser of this show. Amazing performance in the middle of so much filth. They were exemplary.
Its simply a load of shite.
"In an Amsterdam nightclub'. Ypu mean in a London Nightclub.
Ireland didnt do very well 😂😂😂
None of these idiots bet haven't even watch the show
BTW ireland come 6th 😂
Due to the incident most Dutch people want to leave the contest. Same sentiment as in Britain lives in the Netherlands.
"it's on at midnight" "prime time television when kids are watching" get a grip
