pronounciation

Eurovision - Julia & Sam

Julia & Sam were funny and entertaining. It was great to see them talking to the contestants and the Aussies even scored a shout out during the event. Well done SBS and thank you. ps: I'll never look at a scarf the same way again :)

Julia and Sam

I loved Terry Wogan's commentary for years, was really sorry when he retired from it, so although I didn't expect anyone else to be the same I didn't expect to enjoy the show as much again in future. Last year Julia was okay, Sam wasn't bad but just seemed like he was not really into it. But this year I think they had their act together and they'd improved out of sight - they were great, I loved their commentary and I want them back next year! Congratulations to them and SBS!

Terry Wogan has retired from ESC!

To the posters complaining about the lack of Terry Wogan, this is the second year he hasn't hosted BBC1's coverage of the ESC. Sir Terry cracked it after the 2008 ESC with the continual bloc voting from the Balkans, Baltics and ex-Soviet countries and will not host ESC ever again! Graham Norton now hosts for the BBC and is equally as witty and funny. To get the best of both worlds, we must have BBC1's LIVE coverage next year (instead of Weatherwatch at 4am!). This would pacify both camps who enjoy both sets of commentators - there's many positives from the coverage of SBS and BBC1.

Please Sbs, do something with these commentators

Another great Eurovision, and thank you to SBS once again for being one of the globes greatest channels. But please do better with the commentators as I have never witnessed a more hopeless performance than that of Mr Sam Pang(whom I have never even heard of before). His excessive self righteous, and arrogance definitely did no joy to the event. Not to mention him and Julia rambling on as votes were being given. I would have expected a more professional performance by the established Julia, but please dont put this Sam joke again as his remarks were even borderline racist such as; "its no surprise howmany votes Turkeys recieving considering theres alot of Turks in other parts of europe. Well done mate you have pinpointed the success of Manga which is MTV's european act of the year down to Turkish voters in foreign european countries. You are a musical analyst at its finest. But thank you none the less to SBS again....

spoiler

SBS: "There was a "spoiler alert" in the news. In fact, Lee Lin Chin suggested "making a cup of tea" before she went on to announce the winner." Maybe, but not during The World Game when Santo's mate said that Germany would be going for the Eurovision - World Cup double. My daughter looked at me incredulously and said "he just told us who won!!!" Give him an uppercut for me please.

Nice one SBS

GG SBS for announcing the winner through the news before airing the final. Has anyone there heard of the phrase "Spoiler alert"? Are you planning to do the same with the World Cup?

No more Julia or sam, please

Can SBS please pay heed to peoples comments regarding Julia Zemiro and Sam Pang this year? They are completely out of their depth when it comes to Eurovision and I shan't be watching the SBS coverage any further should they continue to be involved. Just awful.
