The Official Eurovision Song Contest Thread
[22:03] <Q-chan> Are you going to make a Eurovision thread? =D
Official Eurovision Homepage!! So here's the place to discuss anything Eurovision-Song-Contest- Also, there will be a Eurovision Song Contest Party in #gfchat this year! Further info will be announced soon =^.^= |
I'm getting in here right proper swift like, and planting this link to DJ Daz with his song for the UK, as an early seed that will have time to grow and flourish in your brain from now until Eurovision. By the time May 20 comes around it'll seem like there was never even an option not to vote UK.

God bless eurovision and the blatent tactical voting that goes on year after year. My main man, good old Terry Wogan can predict the results of key countries a mile off! it's hilarious!
|
You can be sure that we'll not win it this tme either. We already stooped to the level of allowing page 3 girl Jordan get close to being our entrant last year >_<. I watch it to see the clips of the host country inbetween songs, or admire just how much clothing the entrants are willing to shed in order to cock-tease the judges into voting for them.
|
Well our man performs his song with 4 girls dressed in school uniforms, so I wouldn't write us off just yet.

But this year Lordi is representing Finland.
http://www.headbanger.hu/be/htdocs/updir/lordi.jpg http://rapidshare.de/files/15195662/..._Love.mp3.html You know it will be the most awesome Eurovision ever. The only bad thing is now I'll have to watch it =x |
I'm finding the UK a worrying place at the moment....
The same weekend Gary 'Kid Fiddler' Glitter gets put away for child molestation, the public vote for some dodgy middle-aged geezer with a load of teenage school girl backing singers. Not only that but Chico 'slight undertones of Michael Jackson' gets into number 1 in the charts. Pity vote is all I can say. The song that DJ Daz has if fucking painful to listen to. |

It is exactly like you said. The east block will vote for each other, the west will vote for whoever (escept Germany, swiss and austria will give each other mediocre to good votes) and once again some east block country wins. |
With the UK having possibly the worst act in years how can we fail to win (oh well, apart from the fact that tactical voting by certain countries never goes our way because they all hate us). Bring it on.
|
DJ Daz is fucking terrible but it is the kind of shit that gets voted for at Eurovision, I reckon we've got a chance this year.
I love how everyone in England puts down Eurovision yet almost every British member here has posted in this thread already, we secretly all love it. Also, why the new name, sin? |
Lordi ftw.
I think they should better be dealing a controversy award too this year. |

I know what you mean about DJ Daz. A shit song is not necessarily a shit Eurovision song. It has something anthemic to it which might catch on. Eurovision is great why lie. |
This week's popbitch will doubtless be full of links to unfortunate pornos most of the acts were in durign previous careers, they do that pretty much every year. I'll post whatever links there are on thursday for those of you who don't subscribe.
|
That should keep the thread going for 2 months.
|
If they have any on Lordi, be sure to mark them with a fair warning~
|
The BBC site has snippets of all the songs England could have had...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/eurovisi...testants.shtml Not technically Eurovision but still Euro-tastic! |

This year: Kate Ryan...
Personally I don't like neither the woman, neither the song... But it's normal it's for the eurosong festival and I don't remember ever have liked any of our songs... Anyway, it'll be fun and the party at gfchat is a super-idea, I'll be there ^_- http://www.dhnet.be/pictures_news/art_37397.jpg |
Wahaaaa... That Lordi of Finland looks like something. I guess that this year I'm definitly going to watch...
|
WTF - Is that shit by Gunther actually popular?
Can somebody please tell me why Hungary is not participating? |
Only the 16 or 18 best countries from the last Eurovision are allowed to participate. Plus those four countries that pay the most money including shitty countries like Germany and the UK.
|
Only 3 days left, I am so excited (j/k)
|
Poked around the official site, and now I'm listening to some of the samples. Some of these entries are quite hilarious! Moldova's song in particular does not make any sense considering the region. I didn't even know Belarus could enter.
But why aren't there any good songs? The closest I ever got to liking one was for Bulgaria and France, and even then I'm not sure based on the samples. |

I've got my TV on and my headphones plugged in, but they're not on my head, so I'm luckily hearing none of these awful songs.
Watching the show without sound, reading the subtitled lyrics occasionally (yes, they're subtitling the lyrics =x) makes it all seem even more camp. The dance choreography is hilariously embarrassing in pantomime. One more performance before Lordi invades Greece~ |
GO LORDI. If they win, I swear it's gonna be the best year EVER.
|
I was just called to the living room to see Lordi by my parents who were having a good laugh about them, but think they should win as they are better than most acts there :D
|
I'm beginning to think Andorra is going to get voted a winner just so they get those "dancers" on stage for an encore.
Anyone who missed seeing Lordi, watch their number here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvB6jBxC0s |
Didn't watch the semi-final, but from the looks of it most of the more enjoyable songs from that samples link on page 1 got knocked out. Oh well, it is further assurance my loyalties won't be conflicting on the night - Go DJ Daz!
|
Haha, looks like Lordi is going to take home the whole thing =D
|
I can't believe we are doing so well. Finland's never had this much points =o
|
Will Lithuania win, who knows
They should, tho |
Well I don't think that Lordi was bad, but uhh if they win that would be a scandal or something like that (?)
|
they are winning only because they are diffrent, this shit has gotten retarded no one takes it seriously anymore.
CAROLA >:(((((( |
It's pretty much all over now, Lordi being up 50+ points. I guess this is what happens when you have a contestant which doesn't give people the exact same song and stageshow as the rest of the ones.
|
As delirious I am that Lordi is leading, especially because of how many people said it can't be done, but everyone is going to hate them now when they win.
We'll be forced to host it all next year which is going to suck big time, plus we all know Finland can't repeat the success :tpg: EDIT: Ahaha, I can't believe we broke the point record. Most points for any country~ |
They cannot be passed anymore, congrats Lordi :)
I think this is pretty much an éclat, but hey, that's what makes Eurovision great. |
WTF.
Seriously, though, folks. \o/ |
I will turn off the TV now, what is this shit....

Well done Finland. Good to see the UK did better than the previous years, I still dont see why the hell we dont just pull out of the whole thing. |
UK was horrible, 4 real what was that shit.
|
Well come on, it's not like Eurovision has always been that bad
|

Anyways, who takes Eurovision seriously? Man, the only reason I watched it was for a good laugh, and it didn't disappoint, and neither did Mr Wogan. |
I like how it seems that people are suprised by this outcome. What we had here was 21 x the same boring ass, unbearably bad shit as always and Lordi. Of course people were going to vote like crazy for them.
Hopefully this will bring about some real change as far as the contestants and the songs go in the future. |
Yes uhh I am surprised. I thought that Lordi was fun and all, but uhh I wonder never ever thought that people would be that ignorant. There were some very good songs like the one from Lithuania and the "there's always the same" argument is pretty weak in my opinion because there WAS quite a lot of variety this time.
|
Don't be daft. Next year it will be, once again, 24 x (Power ballads + Eurobeat).

Carola did a mistake by singing in english, her song was better in swedish. |
What the hell are you talking about, the Lithuanian one was awful.
"hrhr, we are being really clever and knowing wink at the camera, too bad we didn't try REVERSE psychology hr" I'm surprise they got so many points as they did. There were a few decent songs there, but overal it was as bad as usual. |
The Lithuanian song should have won >=/

Who the hell what that guy from the Netherlands that gave the votes. Was he some kind of famous comedian (and I use the term comedian loosely) over there or what? |
He was drunk, obv. But that guy from Poland was so fucking awesome. What a serious emo lamer who's wearing two pairs of socks in winter and then this "12 points go to... Poland" joke which was hitting everyone like a nuclear bomb.
|
I thought the Poland guy was awesome. He looked so hilarious fed up with what he was supposed to be doing :tpg:
|
And then god made a Finn and laughed at the rest of them ^^
|
you guys still suck at hockey.
|
Whole thing was worth it for Lithuania. I expect nay demand a World Cup mix.

LOOORRRDDIII \m/ |
GO FINLAND!
They were amazing! i only listened to 3 acts, UK, Finland and Ireland, simply because we were having a party at tehs same time, but yeah. The voting worked better this year with the rushing of the first 7 then focusing on the final 3 brackets, kept things moving smoothly. and the UK act was shit, he was a pedo i'm sure of it, i'm sad we as a nation voted such crap into the contest... |
