Can we just talk about Azerbaijans slaying entry

Azerbaijan can **** off the cheating bastards

:joker:

So true tho.

Yes, they cheated to just scrape through to the final last year and flopped the year before as well. Such cheating.

Miracle >>>

That was after they were accused of cheating though.

Like, I have no problem with Azerbaijan winning, but it's probably the country I feel that is least deserving based on how they've treated the contest before.

Oh I won't dispute that they cheated their victory in 2011, it's common knowledge.

But out of those who I think could win this year I'd take this over that dated Russia bollocks, Ukraine's screeching noise or Frans (who I think won't make top 10 anyway)

I want Australia to win because I want to know what country they would partner with to host the contest. Hopefully it would be us :love:

Wasn't it stated last year Germany was there top choice?

Wait, how did Azerbaijan cheat in 2011?

Was it? :/

Did they mention why they would pick Germany?

Dunno, but in the 2013 contest they provided sim cards to people from other countries so they could vote for them. And good ol' Bonnie Tyler overheard the Belarussian act saying 'Azerbaijan never gave us the 10 points they promised'. This contest is very political for them in general.

No they didn't but I read somewhere that a insider or someone said it

Oh, I thought we had good enough relations with Australia for them to choose us :p

Started when they got 8 points from Cyprus but the Cypriot jury never voted for them and they wasn't receiving phone calls just SMS messages

But there is a lot of Germans/Greeks/Bosnians living there which would factor a decision

I never knew that, get it Germany! I wonder if they'd have Australian hosts?

I think Azerbaijan also arrested some people who voted for Armenia (their sworn enemies) one year (2010 I think?)

Doesn't change the fact they've released a bop this year!

Yeah in 2009 there was some weird conflicts between the two in the contest
People were questioned by police if they voted for Armenia which in turn got them sanctioned by the EBU, Also happening that year- The graphic designer accidentally put in a statue of a de jure part of Azerbaijan in the Armenian postcard too and Azerbaijan complained for it to be removed, in which Armenia retaliated by using a clipboard and background with the statue on it to reveal their results.
(Azerbaijan also blurred out the number to vote for Armenia!!)

But they still have a good song this year, and that doesn't change that

well Malta is at a 5th place in the bookmakers


and Ira Losco is amazing, according to some people who have already heard her song for this year :) :)

I LOVE This song, for Ira Losco


definitely getting my vote this year, my revenge for last year ;)

Wasn't really worth the hassle of changing, still think it's a farce it was allowed but oh well.

well i like it, and it's on the 4th place at the bookmakers, that does mean something i think

alright my top 10:

1. Malta ( Really love this)

2. Azerbaijan ( Samra is really talented, and this song is quite good)

3. Czech Republic ( Gabriela is really good, what a vocal Diva)

4. Denmark ( Catchy song, sort of Take That from Denmark)

5. Bosnia&Herzegovina ( love their own language, and that Rap is EPIC)

6. Macedonia ( also love the own language, and Kaliopi is a great singer)

7. Italy ( Francesca is really talented, and a nice song as well)

8. Austria ( Zoe is singing perfectly French)

9. Belgium ( this makes me so happy, this song)

10. Romania ( lots of musical theatre, sort of Meatloaf from Romania)

This is pretty cool. Eurovision will always remain superior though.

I'd watch it :clap1:

Plus it'd stop the 'AUSTRALIA AIN'T EUROPE' comments we've got for the last 2 years even though I've enjoyed their presence.

well i recommend Malta's song for you, and possibly Azerbaijan's song and the song from Czech Republic :)

Incredible.
