I am not the fan of Eurovision, but stumbled on some of the material which will be there.
IMHO victory should go to the Norse.
Here:

Can't get the bloody song out of my head. Argghhhh!!!
-
when is the crack pot event on?
i've always had an interest in watching it for some bizarre reason. Its all rigged by them nothing Balkan / eastern european states. a bit pointless but i do like seeing some of the weirdos performing.
Its like a classy britains got talent/ X factor combination.
-
I really hope he loses lol. Been hearing this song all over now and i cant stand it. I havent watched the show in years though. Worst part is that if we win we have to host the damned thing next year.. ugh
-
Hehe, he could of course surrender :devil
Anyway, can't get the bloody song out of my head.

hmmm looks like he is faking it. But, good luck, I never watch it anyhow.

Looks like the audio is out if sync. Pretty good tune. What is Eurovision anyway? Some kind of talent show? Europe only?
-
NM, I figured it out.
-

I'm not sure what you mean by that; according to wikipedia (i.e. add salt) the last five years Russia, Ukraine and Serbia have won the contest (+ Finland and Greece).
-
Last year (or was it the year before?) there was a minor medial outrage in Germany about how the central and eastern European countries are "cheating" and winning by voting for each other only.
Then someone took the time to compile a new chart counting only the western European votes.
The same title won. :lol
BTW... this years German entry is featuring Dita van Teese...
-
Israel hopefully can't say I love the song but its very eurovision friendly
-

-
Youtube had a better variant, but I couldn't find it when I posted.
Anyway, good tune, and the lad wrote it himself AFAIK.
-
Terry Wogan isn't commentating in the UK this year so i doubt i'll watch it, he was very cynical. :)
-
Who will win?? Belgium, of course :P. It's sooooo bad it's awesome... NOT!

:confused: :huh :rolleyes: :cry
-
I didn't have a clue who was representing the UK. I just checked, the girl is a decent singer, but the song doesn't do anything for me.
-
Its official already. Norway is not going to win the MGP :D
Reason?
Some norwegian football judge prevented Chelsea from beating Barcelona in some football match by judging it poorly according to the Chelsea fans. The fans have now launched a campain to stop brits and others from voting for the Norwegian MGP entry :D
I wish them good luck as i dont want us to win the eurogay either :rofl
-
Who's turn is it now anyway? Poland's perhaps, or will Turkey's babe be allowed the eastern votes :D
-
How about iceland?
-
The UK hasn't invaded anyone recently so we could be in with a shout.
-
As an American, I was aware when ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest...but it was a real treat to see the 1979 one first hand in Germany. Kind of like an "American Idol" for bands. Very cool! :aok
Good luck to all you guys pulling for your home band! :salute
ROX
-
Belgium didn't qualify! I'm shocked! :furious ;)
-
Hehe i voted for Iceland. She was hot :D
-
Hehe i voted for Iceland. She was hot :D
Me too. :aok
maybe Im getting old because I did like the song also. :D And ofcourse I lost control... :devil

It's the babe factor which decides Eurovision winner this year :)

YOU ARE ALL GAY.......................... ............................. .... according to BBC... :D
The competition traditionally has a large gay following and Russian activists are trying to hold the country's first ever gay pride march while thousands of Eurovision fans are in Moscow.

Is the Norse singer gay? No troll, just curious.
The Icelandic babe AFAIK is quite straight.

The article doesn't say that the competitors are gay, just the fans and followers...

Well, what I saw of the semifinals, the Icelandic song definately is the biggest ones. I also liked Estonia. The Finnish one this year sucks!
Was it Belarus that had the chick with almost no clothes and the three gladiators? That was the low point for me what I saw of the semifinals. (I blame the wife, I wouldn't be watching them otherwise!)
Hooray Iceland! (Btw, Angus, I'll be coming to Reykjavik with my wife, 5th of June to 10th of June - any ideas you'd have for us or even set up a meeting?)

I'll look into that. Do you have some plan of points to visit? I am just an hour away and run a guesthouse ;)
-
Oh, looked into my bookings. I only have 3 slots free in the period, the 5th, the 7th and the 8th.
look here:

Well, we already have a hotel reserved in Reykjavik for the duration of the trip - too bad I didn't ask you about this earlier.
Other than that, no we don't have any plans at all yet, but it would be great to see Iceland outside of Reykjavik as well.
Now back to the Eurovision topic after a brief hijack...
-
Norway wins.
-
WTG Nilsen!
Jarski, I hope you did bet on Norway winning. :)
-
Hmm.. they won by the most points in the history of the contest.
I dont get it...
I hate the song lol. Sais everything about the standard of music i guess :D
If I get the chanse ill burn his fiddle :o
-
I found it extremely boring this time. Last year we had more freaks (Sebastien Tellier :D), and to my utter surprise even a song I did like very much
This year... yawn. I can't even remember the tune of the winning title now. And they did a fine job of keeping Ditta Van Teese of the screen for most of the time ;)
-

Yeah, I noticed that too, they only showed her at the end of the song.
-
WTG Norway! As much as Nilsen dislikes the song, I think it's pretty cool. Now I have a song I can play for my daughters (3 & 5) :t
And our Johanna came in second. Did not expect so from that 18 years old girl, but she has a lot of talent and hopefully a good future.
Was a cool show, well Moscow always did well there ;)
-
I voted for Estonia, I should have voted for Iceland - although the two points wouldn't have made a difference (IIRC Estonia got 12 points from Finland and Iceland 10? Not sure about that though).
offtopic, Angus, I'll reply to your PM sometime next week when we've decided what to do each day, but looks like we're going to get a rental car anyway, so I'm looking forward to seeing you. :) /offtopic.
-
I really feel bad for you Nilsen. My condolences for the win. :P
Didn't like it at all. But with those point it must have been something special with it. :D
Was an extremely bad year. I wonder when they are going to start singing :lol

Uhh.. don't say you actually used the paid service for voting? OMG :O

Norwegian singer is actually Belorussian,Russian singer is Ukrainian citizen(half of song was in Ukrainian)
What the hell is going on......
-
I didn't sense Ukranian there. Just English :confused:
-
Funny how all the euros talk crap about american idol but have some big arse ceremony for a show that's no better, just because its for them.
Ah well, i hear they all suck. (I wouldn't know i don't watch any of them)
Ah well to each they're own, wtg norway!
-
If you want something cooler than American Idol, look at Britain's got talent :devil
The main referee at American Idol is British by the way. Or did he quit?
BTW, Eurovision does not feature cover songs.

Nor is it for new "talents". Patricia Kaas for example is very successful singer since two decades.

Eurovision is a competition between countries, not between Shaniqua, Jimmy, Billy and Latisha.

Years ago, when I was younger
I kind a liked, a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweet hearts
That was then, but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
Cause I don't care if I lose my mind,
I'm already cursed
Every day we started fighting
Every night we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
I don't know what I was doing
When suddenly we fell apart
Nowadays I cannot find her
But when I do we'll get a brand new start
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
Cause I don't care if I lose my mind,
I'm already cursed
She's a fairytale yeah
Even though it hurts
cause I don't care if I lose my mind,
I'm already cursed

Dude, you scarring me,i said "Russian singer is Ukrainian citizen(half of song was in Ukrainian)".
Norwegian singer is from Belarus, he is Belorussian. We know that he sang in English.
BTW Belarus translates "White Russia". I just think its funny
