Meh, probably. Doesnt bother me as such, just an observation as I said.

Have a feeling if the boot was on the other foot though, it wouldnt be took as a joke ;)

Edit. And a few on my facebook feed are definitely not joking, I know most here wont be serious. I deleted some bastards from there last night for moaning about all the 'foreign *******s'. Really no need :bored:

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.

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.

The song with the woman in the blue dress was probably the best last night!
Shame UK didnt do a bit better, thought it would have.

Hungary? Oh I hated that one, personal taste I suppose

considering you came last last year, its a major improvement :joker:

Was she the one with the mahoosive jewel on her hand? That thing was insane.

I liked the ones with the sand artists, the girl who they compared to christina aguilera, the rock band people and the winners.

Think there were a few more but I forgot them already:laugh:

i loved Estonia, the girl in the pink dress singing "1,2,7,3 down the rockafella street.."

Estonia girl :lovedup:.

Oh **** I forgot last year was that Joshua bloke for us, I thought it was Jade and we came 5th but that was the year before :blush2:

Oh I didnt see them :sad:

I will probably end up watching a repeat of it, missed every act before the people who were after england. Great timing that was :bored:

The UKs was chronic last year an awful performance from that Josh guy,.I find I am watching Germany's again and again today. I really liked the moody feel it had to it.

Well from what I saw on YT this morning, we were quite chronic this year too. Song was ok, but lee sounded like he was being strangled :o

She had a fantastic voice but the song was boring

it was chronic. Plus she was trying hard to be all kooky and unhinged. Fail.

personally I don't think the previous years winner should be able to represent again. Its just unfair and gives them an advantage. Unless the song is painfully dull like this was.

yeah, I don't think so either, infact I don't think the same person should ever enter twice (eventhough I know we've done that)

I thought that too, Lee Ryans voice was really awful,why they gave him so much of the vocal was beyond me, he was as you say sounding like being strangled,an awful strained performance from him all round for me.

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.

Yeah, Johnny Logan won it for us twice, we also had Niamh Kavanagh enter twice, she won first time round and then entered again last year and came 3rd last!

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.

Damn you Ireland.

We gave you maximum 12 points and you gave us 6 points lol.

:joker: Jedward deserved 12, Blue didn't:tongue:

Yes but still loyalty should always be rewarded :)

That's what all the eastern European countries do and they've ruined the Eurovision :nono:
