I introduced my American friend to the Eurovision phenomenon. He was fascinated (and yet repulsed) and was talking about it for days.
Brilliant. The Estonian song had pictures of cut out vegetables and the Moldovan one playing now, I didn't realise for a minute was being sung in English, her accent is that bad.
The Entrant from san marino just made me glag.
The eighties lives
eurovision ? :unsure:
must be really famous
Azerbaijan.
Spectacularly overblown and dramatic, they seem to be screeching a lot. Think The Darkness meets Gay.
Once more I was embarrassed to be Belgian :frusty:
Slovenia has Rollerblading dancers wearing full motorcycle helmets. Health and Safety must be really tough in Belgrade.
Norway is quite good though. Good song and Fit burd. Win for me.
Oh I'm sorry. Is it true one of them was once an MP and the other one presented Belgian Millionaire?Quote:

Sorry! Completely got that wrong! The belgian entrant was that instantly forgettable woman sounding like she was singing a washing powder advert or something wasn't it. The one in the red and black skirt?
Oh god.
Poland.
Just oh god. To describe her as an orange ropey harpy would actually be doing her a favour. It was that bad I had to mute her.
I'm blind ... looking at those Polish teeth!!!
Ireland
You should be ashamed of yourselves for doing that. I realise it was ironic and a dig at the Eurovision System but still.... :glag:
Finland.
Best song so far and the singer is gorgeous.
However the lyrics involve the phrase "Where the men" and I don't know whether it's a question or not.
If i already felt ashamed to be Belgian, I certainly wouldn't want to be Irish!!!
Or whatever nationality it was who had that insane man dancing about with four brides and a woman dressed as an apple. The song was good but it was embarrasing to watch the mental breakdown of that nice young man.Quote:

Dogs everywhere are wincing at the dulcet tones of the Russian Entrant, and the Skating Shemale scared me. A lot.
Liking Greece.
But then I would, wouldn't I.
Except for the year they dressed as Robots from the Future.
the torment is almost over...once past this Greek Britney stops jabbing ...

Gawd, either that man is really tiny or that tennis ball is HUGE!
My bet's on Slovenia.
Won't see it though 'cause I'm tucking in.
Tucking in? Is that a Euphemism?
I can't wait till thursday.
Means going to sleep ... have to work in the morning :)
Ahhhh.
G'night!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greece is through! Bring it on you pint-sized, big-boobed Britney lookalike
Finland as well!
It's gonna be an awesome final. AWESOME I tell thee
NOooooo the scary death-head woman from Poland is through.
Phew.... Norway too. They were half-good.
No Ireland but I think that's what they wanted.
Anyway, that's Eurovision heaven over until Thursday.
So, until Thursday...
So they went with Father Ted's "My Beautiful Horse" then?Quote:

Drag acts and bad acts and Terry Wogan’s wig
Mad acts and sad acts, it was Johnny Logan’s gig
Why do I like it? Because it's an entertaining train-wreck of Europeaness. Campest of the camp, butchest of the butch. Sheer Brilliance and fecking hilarious.

The Irish stopped winning it when they realised that the winner hosted it the following year and it was costing them fortunes.
True Story.
Johnny "Just Another Day" Thingmy was responsible for about 3/16th of the countries debt that year.
Didn't some band called Lordy win it the other year with "The Klingon Waltz"
or something else.

The Rock's about to Roll is lyrical genious.
Hard Rock Halleujah, methinks.
