She's better than Blue! :amazed:
OMG ADELE SHOULD'VE PERFORMED FOR US THIS YEAR. She could've sung Someone Like You. That surely would've won. :bored:
You'd think, but then look what won this year? I bet Adele would've done crap. I love her, everyone knows she's brilliant, but she is far too good for Eurovision. Plus it's not based on talent anyway, let's face it.

I still don't think she'd do that well though. :(
Wouldn't be surprised if we have someone like N-Dubz next year. :joker:
No artist who's actually successfull right now would ever enter, it would completely destroy their credibility and reputation

I thought it was a really good contest this year, some good quality songs too, I liked Blue's song but really I thought Lee Ryan sounded awful tonight.
Apart from about 5 Countries I would have been happy with anyone winning tonight, I really loved Germany's,I'd buy that, also well done Jedward, finishing 8th getting 3 or 4 top votes too.

I agree, the songs and peformances were really good this year, usually Eurovision seems to drag on but this year I was sad when the last song was on because the time had gone so quick.
It was a real good one.good singers, good songs and good performances apart from 4 or 5.
Also the voting was better particularly the middle votes 8 down to 5.

Denmarks is great,it has parts that are a bit like Shine a Light by Katrina and the Waves and sounds like lots of other songs but it is a song that could be a hit over here.
Azerbaijan was really good, a classy song, I loved the German entry, but a definate well done to Jedward, they performed great for Ireland and deserved the top marks they got and all the other votes that got them to finish in 8th place.
They did really well for Ireland in a very good set of entries in Eurovision this year.
All I could think of when the UK was on, was why did they give so much lead vocal to Lee Ryan, he sounded awful,strained and like his voice had gone. I was disappointed with Blues performance although the song is a really good one.
It was a good Eurovision an many of the songs and performances on the night were better than what we have in our charts at present.

AZERBAIJAN were rubbish. However I am glad they won over Italy. Why did Italy even come 2nd? Political correctness again.. Was Europe genuinely happy they are back in the competition or just another dig against the UK? Italy withdrew from the competition 14 years ago when the UK won. They were throwing their toys out of the pram. Pathetic.
The UK still did reasonably well. 100 points :) Eventhough they sounded flat on the night.
Jedward were allright and still did well.
My favourite was.. Moldovo?? Was that the one when there was that girl cycling on stage with a unicycle? lol and I liked that one with the girl.. and like a city set behind her. Lol sorry getting mixed up with the countries.
France didn't do well and were favourites to win. Glad he didn't win. He was boring.
Still not a bad show over all.
The UK should have got more votes from Ireland though. We gave them 12 :nono: lol

Really like the pic on your post Niamh.

Also loved georgias :D
Liked a lot of them actually, missed irelands and englands because my mum told my dad I would walk to his instead of him giving me a lift(which he offered :bored: )
Gutted jedward didnt get higher, can you imagine how they would have went on if they won :laugh:
Watched blues performance this morning, lee ****ed the song anyways, he cant hit those notes like he once could. We still did better than I thought we would and I dont really give a **** about eurovision anyways, but well done ireland.
Dos seem eurovision brings out the need in some people to be racist/prejudiced/whatever though. Just a general observation. Chip...on...shoulder :wink:

this
its just meaningless banter in the heat of the moment
Personally I find all the paranoia a bit ridiculous. Of course we all know that neighbouring countries give top votes to each other regularly. UK and Ireland have done that often too. But its not a hate thing and nobody can vote against a country. They just prefer others more. The UK has one of the best records(still) in the competition with 5 wins and many 2nd places. So the conspiracy theories are nonsense. Other countries like France and Spain always do much worse but you don't hear them whinging about europe hating them! Its just typical paranoia and mistrust of europe. Truth is, europe is a hugely diverse block of countries and very few of them think alike or have much in common. Its not all of them aginst us...its more about certain regions having more in common.
Have a feeling if the boot was on the other foot though, it wouldnt be took as a joke ;)
Yeah it would be, annoyingly trivializing wink smileys aside. Whatever about Facebook but everyone on TiBB is just having a laugh.
We have Jedward for christ sake. You think I haven't heard all manner of abuse about them representing the micks? It's all good fun.

Johnny Logan,I looked back at his 2 entries,he really did the business for Ireland,is it right he also wrote a winner for a Female singer from Ireland too,'Why Me' or something.
It is rumoured Jedward may go for it again next year for Ireland, there is a massive buzz for them around Europe apparantly and Louis Walsh has said he may put them forward for it next year again.
Great. I loved that song and their performance. I also loved that the UK voting viewers also voted them their choice for the maximum mark.So much for the UK not really liking Jedward.
Louis is doing a really great job with those two.
The UK viewing audience for Eurovision also near doubled from its 5.5 million last year to nearer 10 million this year.

17-05-2011, 02:00 PM
I don't think I mind winners or acts entering more than once, a few have done so but only as is stated above has Johnny Logan won it twice for the same Country.
The UK put Cliff Richard in twice,although he didn't win.Also putting the previous winner in for Germany didn't work out for them this time so it really isn't likely to make much difference.

Jedward certainly did deserve the 12 and they got 2 more 12 votes as well as the UKs, also people in the UK were voting as to who got the maximum points so the viewers made the decision really, it's not surprising as the UK viewers voting kept Jedward in the X Factor all those weeks too, so its clear Jedward are still popular with UK viewers.
Blue, well I wouldn't have voted for them had we been able to for the simple fact Lee Ryan totally ruined the song and performance as Vicky pointed out.
He was awful, his voice if it was ever there at all has well and truly gone now.

Blue were rather poor performing the song in reality,Lee in particular, and anyway even if Ireland had given the UK 12 points it wouldn't have made any difference, the UK would have then got 106 votes instead of 100 votes and would have still been in 11th place,well behind Jedward.
The UK actually got about 28 votes from the former Soviet Union Countries so the votes were more well spread out this year.
