Eurovision Song Contest!

Just watching the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest...

Anyone here watching it too?
Any favoirtes for saturday's final?

 

Didn't watch much of it, but will probably watch the final... well, if I'm not doing anything else.

Go Sweden!

 

i stopped seeing some years ago. Now has appeling to me as before.
Must confess i would be more interested if Portugal was normally one of the best.

 

I must confess, and it doesn't leave this thread (Nina ), that i watch it every year without fail! Not because of the music, but because of the commentry we get over here, by Terry Wogan. A very funny man indeed, especially as he is totaly drunk while he's doing it.

As for the songs, all i can say is, that i hope the UK's entry is better than last years!!!!!

Not that it could be much worse.

 

Is he that guy who bashes every artist with great funny comments? I remember watching the thing two-three years ago, when I was living in Brussels, on BBC and the commentary was hilarious!

The commentators here in Sweden are boooooooring.

Oh, and I really hate the Swedish song. It's horrible, especially the lyrics. And the fact that everyone I know walks around singing it... gaah!

 

Yes, that's the guy i meant lol

I haven't even heard the UK entry yet, and the question is, do i really want to?!

 

Go MAX
I'm going to watch it! I like the German song and I hope he is not going to suck like the other Germans all the years before

But we have seen it last year: Turkey won, because the musicstyle was in.
Let's see what happens this year

 

There will be polish band - Blue Cafe, but they dont win, they unfotunetly took bad song... But...
Go Poland!!!

 

Ok, before the voting begins, i just need to say that if Sweden doesn't win, there's no justice in the world.

There were some great entries tonight, (Poland being one of my favourites ), but Sweden is pure Eurovision and down right catchy.

Of course, i could be wrong!

 

You're right - though I really loved Cyprus's song

Unfortunately the Danish song didn't make it to the final....

 

Oh my god!!! An interesting winner! Very surprising.

I never got to hear the Danish entry unfortunately, was it good?

 

It was OK

I'm just glad that the UK didn't get 0 points

 

Bah, to be honest, i never back the UK in Eurovision anyway, because no matter what, you can always count on our song being boring and unimaginative!

I was hoping in a way, Poland would win, just so i could watch them perform again!

 

Yeah
There were a few good entrances this year

I liked Albania's song

 

Indeed, that was a good song! I did of course love Swedens song. Terry Wogan was spot on with the comment that she looked like Helena Christianson(sp?) the model lol

 

She's actually a very popular singer here... and she's been popular for like, oh, I don't know? 15-20 years...

Anyway, did your fabulous commentry say something fun this year?

Oh, and the winner looked like Xena the warrior princess...

 

LOL Yes, in fact he kept on commenting on the winner looking like Xena!

He wasn't on top form this year though, as he wasn't allowed to drink! Although he did keep telling us not to worry, that it would all be over soon ect....

 

God bless that Man

 

So what about the Croatian song? (say BAD and prepare to face my rath >)

 

Umm, which one was that...? I can never remember...

 

Praise that great man

 

I know it is long gone, but Eurovision was cool! though i prefered the rang of songs from 2003.
I am so glad that we Australians have our own commentator. Des Mangen! he even wrote a book on the history of Eurovision called: 'This is Sweeden Calling'

I am sure Ukraine are happy about winning and hosting next year but because it's the 50th, i would have thought that it should be held in Sweeden. eg. like the Olympics in Greece.
Oh well.. till next year then...
