I am disappointed about the taste of humor that Europeans have. Ireland had the best (ironical) song and it didn't get to the finals.  :neutral:

Im sorry but Eurovision in the biggest pile of rubbish ever...

Its done SO badly, it is SO cheesey..
All British people hate it, weve always hated it.

The guy who is the narrator (Terry Wogan) even makes fun of it, and he works with them!

Big woop..Just another year of Music made by people from different European Countries.
Only reason British people watch it (if they do) is because we find it funny, seriuosly  :lol:

He is more popular for making such fake things about girls-lover then for singing... "Dima Belan touched actress tits", "Dima Belan invited two girlfriends to home", "Dima Belan made a photo with prostitute", etc...

Ugh, Eurovision. 99% of people here just watch it because Terry Wogan (our presenter) makes it so funny to watch. It's all political voting anyway, all the Balkan states vote for eachother. I'll probably still watch it though.

ex USSR? Estonia hardly gives any points for Latvia or Lithuania, unless they have good song, so to other ex USSR countries. But believe me, Cyprus will give  Greece 12 pts. Also probably will Germany give 12 points to Turkey.

To my surprise Dima Belan even showed he can sing...

Greece was nice, but they spread votes between three shaking asses: Greece, Armenia and Ukraine - all the same type/presentation style...

Liked Israel song (at least the guy could also sing not scream)...

But my vote goes to.... Latvia... The best song, dancing, relaxing, easy, nice and show as well...
BTW For Russia vote all the time... And not always Russia wins... So votes from other countries also play role...

Voting is funny to guess (usual) the votes...

And do not forget - its evrovision - in company with three girls (Ukraine, Greece, Armenia) will win a guy...  ;)

Also congratulations to Russia for winning, though from these songs what was there, I liked Spain the most.

Before it started,

Me: £500 shes a lesbian

After a good few minutes, of this woman with short hair, rips the clothes off of another woman, and lots of half naked women dance around her.

Me: Do you wanna pay that 500 in one, or instalments?

Pirates Of The Sea - Wolves of the Sea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dNB4g0AcH8&feature=related

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

Don't try to run it's all set and done
There's treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight

Just walk away we'll count it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing
Pirates are all we can be

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

Down to the core we're coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land

The hook of our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan so what can you do

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

It means all others then suck as hell, if lost by luck to loser-Russia...

Of cos! Canadians scored 4 goals by luck, Russians scored 5 goals by luck.
The last two goals scored the best championship player/the best championship sniper... Also lucky guy...
No skills, just luck...
For "right place and right time" is other word in sport - tactic...

Well we swedes got embaressed again... Dunno why we even sing on the Euro vision...

I asked this question also, only about England and France... There are sitting the half of past USSR who are voting for each other... It sucks but it will be always "Russia-Ukraine" plus some other country... It should be real voting without all that corruption and "countries votes", just one center where all calls will come...
If they like to support each other - they can make their own "Euroasiavision"...

Interesting thing was in this Eurovision contest. I always thought its only between Europe countries, but we had also Asia in..
Also about the votings, IMO its not a corruption - just policy: every country votes for theyr neighbour country and not for songs, its kind a lame, but it was always so  and i guess it will be :(

Its policy plus corruption... There are many neighbors from past USSR but they have to give only 3 high votes... One of them will be for sure Russia... Also Armenia is a neighbor with Azerbaijan, but do not expect them vote for each other - they hate each other... That is not a policy of neighborhood, that is a real policy between countries...
In other thing - I doubt Russians voted for Ukraine, as they have a real big dislike to each other, the same as i doubt Ukrainians voted for Russia... And still Russia gives the highest vote for Ukraine, Ukraine gives a highest vote for Russia - pure policy and not a neighbor one...
Poland will vote for Ukraine, as Ukraine has a very close culture and very similar language, Armenia and Turkey will vote for each other as they have almost the same language as well and culture... Scandinavians will vote for each other, Portugal and Spain - another tandem... So actually all results are clear... Just a matter, who will win among Russia-Ukraine plus third country...

I hope it will be stopped somehow, cos its already boring and obvious...

Maby i should say also that the one from sweden telliing the results of swedish televoting Was NOT serious.
He is one of the most famous comedians in sweden and acting weird that is just one of his little "thing" haha.
He was gonna look suprised and uncomfortable with the situation and he manage to do it quite well.  I´m pretty sure it made us swedes look a bit stupid afterall :=) But he is funny :)

It is however, our best one in years. That said, it doesn't actually matter how incredible our entry is, it won't come close to winning.

Frankly, the contest isn't even about music, it is political. Western Countries have almost no chance, with all the Eastern Countries voting for each other. However, even the Western Countries are biased.
For example, Spain's entry not only deserved no points, it deserved some kind of magical negative points. But it still got loads, and from Portugal as an example. France's entry was also particularly poor, and their score somewhat reflected that, but ultimately they still got quite a few.
Its fairly obvious that politically nobody likes the UK, so why are we even in the EU?  :neutral:  :rules:

Personally, I found it a fairly shameful contest. Entries that were complete crap like Spains got quite a few points, whilst really good entries including Finland and Turkey, didn't get as many as they should of done (though Turkey did fairly well). Its also a real shame for UK, since he deserved more.
That same act sung for, maybe, Russia or Ukraine, would have done far better. You can't disagree with that point, at least.

Yes, this is why when I saw UK, France, Germany, I was really sad, cos they have no chances to win with such voting policy, even if there will be a great singers...

To this thread, when Russia just joined, it sent the top singers, all of them failed... Not any of them were higher then 15th... Even thou, in compare with other singers, they were really professional singers with good voice, good music... And you could also hear in Russia "WTF, some craps won"...
So such voting for each other was not made by Russia, it was already set on eurovision...
Check all votes, you will see that there is no any country which showed the real votes...

Nowadays in Russia many people on phrase "oh, our singer won on eurovision" are answering "Pfffff", which shows Russians do not consider Eurovision show as a professional, fair competition...
I myself was not interested in Eurovision after I saw what crap it is...
I watch it only cos our mushrooms are watching...  :D
