Yay Eurovision!

I love Eurovision, it's so completely fucking mental. I find it hard to believe that anything will top the insanity of the half time show from Russia with all those people rolling around in transparent swimming pools. I've not had a proper look at all the entries yet but I hear it's all gone a bit 70's.

Hello

only three days left!
some countries didn't survive the semi-final 1

additional info: It was announced at the Reference Group meeting on 22 March 2010 that Kazakhstan would be broadcasting the contest.

so long, suckers

Slovakia knocked out? I only watched it for 20 minutes but that was the best I heard. I am utterly outraged.

This is the entrant from Serbia:

It's

Watching the second semi-finals as we speak, I am also so ashamed of my own country right now that I could cry. I enjoyed it up until the Netherlands, mostly because of the hot chicks, regardless of most of them being jailbait.

But good lord, I cannot fathom that they'd send something like this to represent us. We have several capable singers who could perform there. They pulled this shit last year as well, blargh :')

I really hope we don't make it to the finals, because I would rather not have to go through this public humiliation again.

If you haven't noticed, many West European countries raise their noses high in the air and just send their worst so they don't have to host the very expensive and useless competition.

The sad thing is, the whole thing is making East Europe more and more poor because they really want to win to get their tiny insignificant countries at least a little bit more known among the general public. And one of them is Finland, who actually used the tax payers' money to host the show a few years ago (it was organized by the national television company, not the commercial tv stations). :/

At least Finland won't be competing in the finals this year, even though it was a fairly sympathetic song, compared to the soulless NZ NZ NZ of many others.

The Baltic states do have the advantage of lots of guaranteed points though from friendly neighbours. The only points we get from being buddies with people is from Ireland and even they sometimes don't give us any (Scooch). The political voting is almost as funny as the acts themselves.

I love how Belarus overtook the UK with a 12-point vote, putting them on the last place.
