Eurovision Song Contest

[ThaGazBoi]

Eurovision is on tonight, 8.00PM on BBC1.
How do you rate Daz's Chance?.

[Pipergun]

Lots of the papers seem to be jumping on the bandwagon and saying we've got the best chance in a long while... maybe... but I still think the Eurovision votes are cast too politically for us to come anywhere near to winning! :rolleyes::laugh:

I'm still watching it though - for the sheer hilarity! :bigsmile:

[cc100]

After watching his documentary on BBC3, Ive come to the conclusion that Daz Sampson is a living legend. We should cherish this man as the future of British Mc-ing. Move over Dizee Rascal.

Other European countries will never vote for the UK in large numbers, so we could enter with Oasis and we still wouldnt win.

Lets face it, we are the second most hated country in the world after the Iraq war.

[ThaGazBoi]

Yes i guess that is true CC.

Daz is a legened i watched the documentry 2 and thought it was brilliant!

[Arneldo]

I think the UK song is crap lol

But so is the Irish one .. But im ovasily supporting Ireland to Win! but we have no chance! We will get 12 points of UK and tats all id say.

[Pipergun]

We'll have to make deals: Ireland gives us 12 points, and we'll give Ireland 12 points, then we're both off the mark! Hehe! :joker:

... And then I go on and say political voting is wrong..... :blush2:

[Mark]

Appanrelty he bet £8000 on himself winning or something... crazy

Thats true. I think he won £85,000 after betting that he would be chosen to represent the UK in March.

[Pipergun]

Yep - mad! I think that was on the outcome of the UK Finals though, so it's slightly more believable than Eurovision itself! :hugesmile:

[BigSister]

i think it could go either way v good or v bad apparently hes big in eastern europe

[Amy]

Nil points! Woo hoo not long now... love Eurovision!

Not always the case. I remember the year Geminin got 'nil points'.. the UK gave Ireland 12 points that year and everyone was expecting us to give them something, at least. But ye got nothing.:tongue:

I think because our entry is from Belfast that the UK points for Ireland will be high tonight as Northern Irish votes are counted for the UK.:thumbs:

[BB-Rocks]

Why Finland. I should be supporting the UK but i dont care

[steve-g]

[InTheHood]

Netherlands didn't even make the final.

I'm looking at it as a blessing in disguise :laugh:

You don't really see people walking around in ridiculous masks every day either but that doesn't mean I want to vote for them. Slipknot, eat your hearts out.:bored:

[BB-Rocks]

I hate all heavy metal music. Cant stand it!. It might do well depens what knid of people are watching

[ThaGazBoi]

Im off to watch this now- Theres a woman singing in the introduction..And she is CRAP!

[BigSister]

:laugh: Gazza

[steve-g]

Lordi won, woo :colour:
i said they would and they did
:bigsmile:

[BB-Rocks]

Did we come 6th?

Wow j got bored of it hearing all the countrys numbers:sleep:

[Pipergun]

We officially came 19th out of 24, yay! :joker::rolleyes:

[Legend]

We came 6th then? Was he any good?

That answers my question then. :laugh:

I'm made up he done crap, he's such an arrogant ****! He really thought he would win, soo glad the tit didn't!

*Try tone down the language, Legend. Lance:wink:

[BB-Rocks]

We were 22nd last year werent we?

[Lance]

Yay, we came 10th! I must say, Brian did a good job on the song tonight. I was very surprised.

Thanks to you UK people who gave us 8 or 10 votes (can't remember which!)

We qualify for the final automatically now next year. Whoppeeee!

Boo for political voting though. We gave our 12 to Lithuania. Mind you, it was probably because the country is flooded with them now.:bored:

[BB-Rocks]

Ireland done great

I dont get this semi final stuff

Can you explain it to me:conf:

[Lance]

Basically, because there are so many countries that want to enter it would be impossible to have them all in one night.

So two years ago they started a semi-final where countries except a select few (including the UK, France, Spain, Germany etc) and the top 10 from the previous year would have to get through first to get into the final.

[BB-Rocks]

Ohright

Will we get to see it?

Dont think ive ever seen it

[Lance]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Eurovision was AMAZING!

LOL, anyone who didn't watch probably won't get that...

[Pipergun]

We gave our 12 to Lithuania. Mind you, it was probably because the country is flooded with them now.:bored: [/quote]

LOL, Lance! :tongue:

And the show sure was AMAZING!

Plus, what was with the weird bird people, and the girl stuck in the piano!? :rolleyes:

I had the lyric function on (red button) and the Croatian entry was called "My High Heel", and the lyrics included "Before the grass has sprouted, where I have trodden with my high heel..."

"You nibble me but nobody sees..." :laugh:

[Lance]

It was amazing. Truly amazing.:spin2:

Fearne actually said aswell. Cheeky lil' devil she is!

Woah, at those lyrics, how strange. Mind you, with them Norwegians winning, nothing seems strange anymore.:rolleyes:

[InTheHood]

Uk 19th

Netherlands, who were not in it, had a nice mad presenter with the results of the Dutch vote :laugh:

[chucky]

I thought Daz would have done better than he did, but I guess its still down to politics on the voting.

[Amy]

Sooooooooo, Finland won :shocked: Again :shocked:

I guess we can't complain really. The UK and Ireland always give each other high points.

And it seems to be becoming more and more of an excuse every year for countries who do poorly.

[cc100]

Its all politics. We would lose with Paul McCartney performing, all because of Blair.

[Lauren]

All the Baltic countries vote for each other. And the Balkams (Or however it's spelt). All that poor Ireland and UK have is each other :bigsmile:. But thats all good, I'm 1/4 Irish and 3/4 English so :thumbs:

And I'm quite glad Finland won. It shows a drastic change from all the cheesy pop ballads. :spin2:

[Lance]

Sorry to generalise here, but all these "less well off" countries seem to be the ones doing well of late.

Ukraine, Greece, Lithuania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Latvia, Estonia, Israel.. I think they all control this show now.

[James]

I think the voting is as much to do with culture as politics. People vote for the country that is culturally close to their own.

Terry Wogan's commentary is so mocking these days... that's stopped us ever taking this contest seriously.

[cc100]

Its impossible to imagine the UK ever winning again. How long will the UK continue to pump money into it? And how long will the UK audience continue to watch it, when we keep getting trounced?

[Lance]

Terry is hilarious, James. I always watch BBC rather than RTE (Irish channel) because it's much more entertaining.:laugh:

I don't know, Chris. It all seems a bit ridiculous to be pumping money into it and getting nothing out. That money could be used more effectively.

[Kaz]

I only watch the Eurovision Song Contest every year to hear Terry Wogan's commentary ......... pure class! :thumbs:

He's AMAZING! :tongue:

Loved the Finnish song. :wink:

[ThaGazBoi]

Finlands one was crap.

[BigSister]

same here Kaz Terry Wogan is so funny!

[BB-Rocks]

I didnt think he was funny:blush2:

[xWee-Babezx]

I think the Uk should pull out instad of embarassing the country

[cc100]

Lordi have been confirmed to play at the heavy rock Download festival at Donnington Park in June.
