Eurovision Song Contest 2017 -- 23 June 2017 - Blu-ray Forum

McCrutchy · 04-15-2017, 06:17 PM

Universal Music will release a Blu-ray edition of the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest on 23 June 2017. This will be only the second Blu-ray edition since EMI released the 2011 edition. It seems that it will be a three disc set (as with the DVD), and include "more than 8 hours" of content.

The contest is not until next month, but the pre-order is already up at various web sites, and the EAN is 0602557380095. Amazon pre-orders should go live shortly, too.

Huge eye roll!

I have the feeling that Europe won't like us much this year

Why? Just because you don't like it don't make it bad.

I'd certainly much rather watch and enjoy Eurovision 2017 than listen to the latest album by or see in concert Radiohead/Ed Shearing/Kasabian (just saw an ad for their new album, surprised they still exist)/Rag and Bone Man or whatever shite's being hyped by the BBC/Guardian/NME (does that still exist?) this week.

I always look forward to the contest each year.

CouncilSpectre · 04-16-2017, 08:41 AM

I used to enjoy it.

As easy as it is to blame Europe for not liking us, we don't do ourselves any favours by constantly picking a shower of sh*te to represent us year after year....

That being said, I look forward to our bottom of the table finish this year.

Ben_C · 04-16-2017, 09:06 AM

The show is usually a good spectacle, but jeez, the voting is predictable shite, with the same countries voting the same every year. When are they going to learn that you have to vote for your favourite song, not your neighbour.

Coming soon to a Poundland near you.

I just assumed the UK organisers watched the Father Ted episode "A Song for Europe" and decided that was going to be how they would choose the UK entry.

I watch it for a laugh, but there's not enough metal or punk for my liking!!!

And when there is it's, to be honest, usually musically mediocre.

But give me the above entertaining silliness over Gary Barlow on Children In Need or Kanye West at Glastonbury any day.

NovaNaut · 04-16-2017, 01:49 PM

Think I'll skip this one

MechaGodzilla · 04-16-2017, 05:16 PM

I love Eurovision! The cheese and questionable musical quality of a lot of the entries is part of the magic, you can't take it too seriously.

That said, it feels like a one-time experience to me. It's the fun of seeing the performances for the first time and the excitement of the voting and seeing who wins. After that, how rewatchable is it? Not that I've ever tried.

TheOneWithThePrize · 04-16-2017, 05:37 PM

For once I skipped the Swedish contests entirely and I might just skip the ESC entirely as well. Last year I only watched the Swedish finale of the "Melodifestivalen" and the ESC and came to the conclusion that Justin Timberlake should have won.

McCrutchy · 05-24-2017, 01:42 PM

The Amazon pre-order is now live at £29.99, release date is now 30 June 2017.

I wonder if they'll retain the mooning.

The Eurovision Song Contest AKA The Annual UKIP Fundraiser.

Seriously, it's a good laugh, but all it does is prove that Mainland Europe knows bugger all about good music.

Corrupt voting is inherent and the winner is ALWAYS crap (this year being no exception).

Britain's entry was well sung, but dull.

I found myself rooting for Romania's original hip-hop-yodel:
