Ireland will bring back Jedward for next year.

[Vanessa]

Italy doing better than i thought they would. Not bad! :cheer2:

[Benjamin]

I came 3rd, Matt came 2nd, Lee 1st.

[Marcus.]

aye they need to

[Harry!]

Well done Denmark!

[Marcus.]

mine did bad

[Ryan57]

Ridiculous rankings for some. Ireland behind the UK. Estonia not doing better.

Even more pissed at the UK giving just 5 points to Ukraine. http://i.imgur.com/q4jyOWt.gif

[Kazanne]

Well done Lee

[MTVN]

Good old Azerbaijan, knew they would do me proud even if they didn't win

[Ammi]

..Italy did very well Vanessa..you should be proud....

[Marcus.]

lush lass one more time

[King Gizzard]

Finland's placing is the biggest travesty of the night

[GypsyGoth]

:dance:

[Jordan.]

Oh well Loreen and Euphoria remain unbothered by this forgettable song.

[Vanessa]

..Italy did very well Vanessa..you should be proud....

I am. Italy will be celebrating tonight! :amazed::banana:

[Marcus.]

Finland's placing is the biggest travesty of the night

aye it was nathan

[Smithy]

Oh well Loreen and Euphoria remain unbothered by this forgettable song.

[Benjamin]

Can't believe Ireland came last.

[King Gizzard]

this girls got natural beauty

Eric Saade is probably bedding her tonight

[Marcus.]

may look at the backsage bit

[MTVN]

This is a pretty nice song tbf, that's two good winners in a row

[Brother Leon]

Great winner. Better than last year.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, I like this song.

[King Gizzard]

Doubt this would be as catchy and noticeable without that flute thing

[Marcus.]

aye it was
can wait for next years

[Vanessa]

I'm downloading this song tomorrow. :dance:

[Black Dagger]

Finland flopping and Azerbaijan being 2nd ruined it.

Good night though. Copenhagen here we come <3.

[Marcus.]

good song

[Ammi]

..it is a good song and a deserving winner...

[King Gizzard]

Wonder if we'd win with Paul McCartney

[Benjamin]

Oh, I'm near 40k posts.

[Vanessa]

Wonder if we'd win with Paul McCartney

You would! :amazed:

[Marcus.]

well we never know

[Benjamin]

Well most previous winners have been sexy younger females, why are we not doing this?

[Marcus.]

cool ben

[Marcus.]

Well most previous winners have been sexy younger females, why are we not doing this?

aye it could help

[King Gizzard]

we might as well send someone credible next year, someone would do it surely

or let Simon Cowell take over the selection

[Ryan57]

A good night for Ukraine in the end. Shame they didn't win. Third is a respectable spot though.

HOW DID WE BEAT FINLAND :( wtf

:joker:

[Black Dagger]

HOW DID WE BEAT FINLAND :( wtf

I was so gutted for them, not even close to being B3 :sad:

[Marcus.]

poor ireland though

[Ryan57]

may look at the backsage bit

Just on BBC Radio 2, Marcus. Which sucks.

[MTVN]

I don't know why we've reverted back to putting no effort in, that year we did a nationwide search and had Lloyd Webber write the song we actually did really well and came 5th, should do that again

[Ryan57]

Just send One Direction and walk it on the looks vote.

[Benjamin]

Was that with that Jade woman?

[Marcus.]

Just on BBC Radio 2, Marcus. Which sucks.

oh booo
puts it on

oh and thanks

[Shaun]

Europe likes pretty, tuneless women. And folkish sounds.

Is Diana Vickers busy?

[King Gizzard]

Jade Ewen was even particularly 'sexy', I think if somehow ITV got the rights to do the talent search it'd be good, BBC aren't very good with these reality voting shows

[King Gizzard]

Just send One Direction and walk it on the looks vote.
they'd probably do it as well, wouldn't harm there rep

[Lee.]

Doubt it

[Ryan57]

Indeed.

I don't get why we've never sent anyone that's current and selling records. Are all our best selling artists busy, xD?

[King Gizzard]

and I don't think it's so cheesy anymore and career destroying, there's been credible winners who do well in the international charts for a while now

[Ammi]

I don't know why we've reverted back to putting no effort in, that year we did a nationwide search and had Lloyd Webber write the song we actually did really well and came 5th, should do that again

..I think that's it though..I think with the effort we seem to put into it, we probably get the points we deserve...

[joeysteele]

Stunned Ireland were last this time, it was a good song and performance too.

Denmark was as worthy a winner as anyone else and although sad for Bonnie Tyler, the way the voting goes, getting votes from 6 countries is better.

Really enjoyed most of the show though, some really good performances all through.

[Ryan57]

Or maybe, we're just **** at everything? This feels like when England, once again, play 'effin **** at a major tournament and we all say what should change... then the next event comes around we have some faith and again we're left embarrassed.

[Novo]

My reaction when we gave Ireland just 1 Point

[MTVN]

..I think that's it though..I think with the effort we seem to put into it, we probably get the points we deserve...

Yeah I think so, even though it's quite popular I think we'll always have a bit of a piss take attitude towards it

Like that Italian entry had had a single at the top of the charts for 8 weeks in a row, we'd never send anyone like that

[Shaun]

in our iTunes chart, Denmark are doing best atm at #66

Malta are second, down in #89. Finland third at #118. Then Sweden and Russia are the only other two in there.

[Marcus.]

Where are we? Even in the chart? rofl.

Also, how about Ukraine? :suspect:

[Shaun]

this is just the top 200 singles, no Ukraine :p I didn't see Bonnie but I was just looking for the songs with (Denmark) etc. after them

[Benjamin]

:laugh:

I think most of the UK viewers felt that.

[Harry!]

By the wait it was great talking to you guys in this Eurovision celebration.

[Shaun]

ah, Bonnie is #74 (so second of all the euro acts :p)

[Benjamin]

This time next year everyone? :hugesmile:

[King Gizzard]

this has probs been my favourite one since 2010, didn't watch last years one and the year before that I think I recorded it then watched it

[Ryan57]

this is just the top 200 singles, no Ukraine :p I didn't see Bonnie but I was just looking for the songs with (Denmark) etc. after them

'effin UK again. http://i.imgur.com/q4jyOWt.gif

First just 5 points and now this.

[Marcus.]

aye ben

[Shaun]

sorry I couldn't live-post, we were using my laptop to stream it...

[Ryan57]

This time next year everyone? :hugesmile:

Nah. I'm performing for us.

[Benjamin]

Nah. I'm performing for us.

Well you can't do any worse than we usually do, lol.

[Ryan57]

Well you can't do any worse than we usually do, lol.

I intend to win, Ben.

[Ammi]

Yeah I think so, even though it's quite popular I think we'll always have a bit of a piss take attitude towards it

Like that Italian entry had had a single at the top of the charts for 8 weeks in a row, we'd never send anyone like that

....I don't know why it's not taken more seriously..it does have credibility and we have some great song writing talent..probably some of the best in the world...it would take nothing for one of those songwriters to produce the Eurovision song once a year..and then maybe we would have a real chance to do well..

..but a rubbish song and a singer who isn't really that good a performer anymore...?...I think we got exactly the points we deserved..in fact we might have even been lucky to get them...

[Ryan57]

I'll be singing:

XLwW7ZDWn5Y

Whilst wearing:

And if Zlata is performing for Ukraine again, I'll get her out on stage and dedicate it to her.

[Shaun]

Believe in Me isn't rubbish tbf, it's quite nice.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, but it is forgotten amongst the other stuff.

[MTVN]

Yeah even though they were similarly awful I think I preferred us sending the likes of Scooch than the old past it artists like the Hump and Bonnie singing quite forgettable ballads

[zakman440]

Next year it'll be steps for the uk.

[Lee.]

This time next year everyone? :hugesmile:

Eh ..... No

Ill never ever ever watch this again!!

[Ryan57]

Believe in Me isn't rubbish tbf, it's quite nice.

Yeah. I think the song is pretty decent. Issue is, Bonnie was as pissed as a fart. Probably thought she was on Countdown when the numbers were read out.

[Ryan57]

Yeah, but it is forgotten amongst the other stuff.

Whereas I wouldn't be. I could win. Petition for me.

[Marcus.]

Next year it'll be steps for the uk.

yessssssssss

[Brother Leon]

Looking for someone to Produce a beat for me and Nathan to freestyle on for next year. PMs sent to both of us please.

[Benjamin]

Eh ..... No

Ill never ever ever watch this again!!

Well you won't win again then.

You should play a drinking game. The country you get everytime they get points have a shot.

Thank god you didn't do this tonight, you'd be smashed.

[Jessica.]

:bored: We should have got at least 20th place for having topless men.

[Benjamin]

Next year it'll be steps for the uk.

I can actually see that happening.

[King Gizzard]

just send Dizzee Rascal

[Ammi]

Believe in Me isn't rubbish tbf, it's quite nice.

..nice isn't good enough for the Eurovision though Shaun..UK are capable of producing much better songs and it should have been much more than nice...and Bonnie just wasn't good tonight...

[King Gizzard]

or..not

[Ryan57]

Looking for someone to Produce a beat for me and Nathan to freestyle on for next year. PMs sent to both of us please.

I called it first tbh. :suspect:

I'll allow you to free style in the background, however.

..I didn't notice we had topless men Jess..was that the UK...?..

[Jessica.]

Also, Bonnie was a complete mess, how did she even get there?

[Benjamin]

Jess is Irish. :tongue:

aw bless the simple things that please some, how many years did it take for the penny to drop...:joker:


and then when it finally did Ireland reward Bonnie...:xyxwave:

[Jessica.]

..I didn't notice we had topless men Jess..was that the UK...?..

I don't live in the UK, Ammi. o.o
These are the men.
http://puu.sh/2WetU.jpg

[Benjamin]

Meh, they were not as hot as I first thought.

[Ryan57]

Do they usually release the amount of votes received from each nation?

[Benjamin]

Also Cascada did **** too.

[Ryan57]

Also Cascada did **** too.

Gave off an air of being a ***** with an STD. Off putting.

[Ammi]

I don't live in the UK, Ammi. o.o
These are the men.
http://puu.sh/2WetU.jpg

..oh sorry, I did know that Jess, but I just forgot..it's been a long evening...mind you I didn't even notice the topless men for Ireland either..the song was ok though, I thought it would have scored higher...

[Jessica.]

Also Cascada did **** too.

Yeah, I agree, that performance was just terrible. :/

[Shaun]

..nice isn't good enough for the Eurovision though Shaun..UK are capable of producing much better songs and it should have been much more than nice...and Bonnie just wasn't good tonight...

uh, it's about the best eurovision manages... these aren't songs of brilliance, Ammi. That Danish one is a pipe tune repeated 20 times.

It's as good as the Ukranian and Azerbaijani entries, that's for sure.

[Brother Leon]

just send Dizzee Rascal

No level of selling out is beyond him, but even he won't do this :joker:

[Ammi]

..I think our will be much better next week Shaun...and you will totally outshine Petra Mede or whatever she's called...

[joeysteele]

I would look for some much younger talent coming through, not necessarily a big chart name but someone who has had modest success and more to the point maybe has had some current success in other European countries.

It is a gruelling contest for any artiste, there are so many rehearsals and then the show itself.
Bonnie was always likely to be out of her depth becasue she doesn't perform that much still.

She was miles better than Englebert and after all this year we did beat Germany and France in Eurovision so we got the better of them in something.
Pehaps we should also look for a singing talent in this Country that has Russian connections rather than just UK ones,maybe they would bring in more points.

I just really can't see the UK winning this again because I cannot see any major credible artiste wanting to do it now.
No one wants to appear to fail and Eurovision,even in the past had major stars like Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black,Petula Clark,Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones always making sure they would not do it even in the UK's more successful years in Eurovision,so I would say very little chance of getting any current singer/group to agree to it.

I sort of also like the idea of an X Factor,to choose an artiste to represent us in Eurovision too though, they would also gain publicity from the series too which could help get them noticed abroad and with the right song could be more successful.

[Munchkins]

Well my Danish half of the family is having an absolute party :dance:

[Ryan57]

Let's send Gamu. She's come back on the scene now. Great voice on her also.

[Shaun]

#rylan2014

[Ryan57]

#rylan2014

I said this. Should of sent him. Bet we'd of scored higher.

[Black Dagger]

#rylan2014

Then I wouldn't get his Eurovision commentary and he's been amazing all night :sad:

[Kizzy]

Romania was robbed!

[Shaun]

I'm pleased Norway and Malta did well. But still baffled by Azerbaijan (I guess because he's easy on the eye) and Ukraine (ditto)'s successes.

[joeysteele]

Actually like Graham Norton, I can't get the Hungarian entry out of my head,there was something about that one.

[King Gizzard]

I literally can't remember any lyrics/tunes to any of the songs

[Munchkins]

Norway...Finland...Denmark...Sweden... I can remember lyrics too

[Shaun]

UH-OH UH-OH-UH-OH A DING DONG \bate

[Ryan57]

I literally can't remember any lyrics/tunes to any of the songs

Totally remember Zlata's. Listened to it numerous times.

[Munchkins]

Hopefully i can go and see it live next year.. if i go to meet family at that time hmm... but it will be exams at that time so idk.

[Shaun]

oh and MISHMUSHMASH from hungary. (did like that song, could've done with a singer though).

[Benjamin]

UH-OH UH-OH-UH-OH A DING DONG \bate

:love:

[Marc]

For I win

[Shaun]

i just bought the finnish one lmao

-isn't buying any others; might convert the maltese and norwegian ones-

[King Gizzard]

UmOeISUYXuI

:lovedup:

[Black Dagger]

Finland was so so good, I'll be depressed now for 48 hours.

Whether people weren't ready for lesbians or the early slot killed her chances I don't know.

[Shaun]

Lena getting Norway's hopes up :worship:

[Munchkins]

I've bought Finnish and Norwegian :)

[Shaun]

tbh it was a silly gimmick, but most of Eastern Europe is violently racist let alone homophobic so oh well :idc:

[King Gizzard]

Lol at Graham's ''if you're offended by this then you should...grow up'' line :joker:

Why turkey banned Eurovision for that is ridiculous. Was only a peck as well

[MTVN]

Would never have been allowed last year in Azerbaijan that's for sure

[Shaun]

countries that should have received no votes at all:
- Ireland (terrible)
- Armenia (don't even remember it)
- Georgia (nauseating)
- Estonia (don't recall it)
- Belarus (it was a very 2004 entry)
- Lithuania (shoes line)
- Italy (zzzzzzzzzzz)

also struggling to remember France and Spain

[King Gizzard]

Would have been funny if that wasn't included in their song and then they didn't know about the Gay-wedding kiss in the Sweden sketch thing

[Marsh.]

I'm glad Finland flopped, they were awful. Like a Katy Perry song with S Club 7 choreography.

[Kizzy]

Denmark was set up for a win, what with the tickertape and the pyrotechnics. Norway was my fave, malta was a cute song, cascada should have done better.
What happened to Ireland, should have gone with 'My lovely horse' :joker:

[Munchkins]

Mum says i need more Danish Pride, hope she goes to sleep soon :l lmao

[King Gizzard]

a slightly more up tempo version of this might have done well for a UK entry

[joeysteele]

While the song that Bonnie sang was a rather nice song it lacked any originality,she must I am sure, have a better track on the album that could have been the entry.

It is all over now but it was widely sort of reported that the choice of singer was either Bonnie or Petula Clark,
While I am glad she didn't do it and I doubted anyway her husband and manager would have wanted her too anyway.
One thing is sure for me, Petula had a really great song, 'Cut,Copy Me' on her new album,(rumoured to be the possible entry), that may have just fit in really well at the time of the contest when the UK's entry was on.

Still Bonnie feels she did her best and she did really, apparantly she was up to partying too anyway according to the news.

[Marcus.]

UH-OH UH-OH-UH-OH A DING DONG \bate

love that song

[Mystic Mock]

I'm probably late on the discussion but I'm so happy Denmark won, catchy song, decent voice, and the singer was nice looking too boot.

[joeysteele]

I'm probably late on the discussion but I'm so happy Denmark won, catchy song, decent voice, and the singer was nice looking too boot.

I agree, I really liked it too, it was one of 6 that I would have been happy to see win.

[Mystic Mock]

I agree, I really liked it too, it was one of 6 that I would have been happy to see win.

What did you think of Russia's performance Joey? I thought it should've been a little higher than it was, the same with Belgium.

[Vanessa]

I'm just glad Italy did so well. :amazed::cheer:

[Niamh.]

OMG we came last, how embarrassing :laugh:

I was hoping Malta would win I really liked that one, also the Greek one was funny

[joeysteele]

What did you think of Russia's performance Joey? I thought it should've been a little higher than it was, the same with Belgium.

I loved Russia's Mock, although I found it odd them singing about reaching out to those most in need.
I really liked Belgium too, also Hungary for some reason that has stuck in my head.

It was a good contest, sad for Ireland,(maybe they needed Jedward again), I was surprised they were last but sometimes the last song on if it is not vastly different from what's been on already can get lost as people are thinking of how they will vote then.

Russia was 5th though so pretty good going.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah I like the song now as well, I think I was just annoyed by him in general. Still not my favourite, but it'll get some plays from me.

[Novo]

The Hungry was the one that grew on me the most

[Shaun]

Yeah, I downloaded the album and kept that... well I kept a lot of them really. Only ones I'm putting on my iPod are Finland, Malta, Norway, Hungary, Belgium, Romania, Denmark and Sweden though.
