Eurovision

[leviathane]

So Norway won by some mile an a half, didnt watch any of the songs, i only like the scoring part

UK actually did well for once.

 

[Overdriven]

I wanted Iceland to win

 

[leviathane]

the girl from azerbaijan looked hot, but only saw clips haven't googled it yet to confirm or deny tht claim

 

[Wonk]

I was forced to watch this shit

how did turkey get that far? halfnaked woman + techno = tehwin?

 

[pez]

really enjoyed Eurovision this year but I think the UK did better than they deserved. Song was slick and well produced & sung but it was just really boring.

 

[Amanita]

I think the right one won, that song was catchy

Wasn't Germany's song scary?

 

[Gorbachioo]

Norway was "ok" but i cant understand why it won.


Personally, i liked Sweden and Iceland.

 

[pez]

I actually really liked Albania. I don;t know how much that was down to the song and how much down to the weird Lolita/Dwarf Acrobat thing going on

Agree, was a really boring song even for a ballad.

I guess Norway song deserved to win (I can't understand how they got more points than Lordi tho ), personally I didn't like it that much. I liked Bosnia and Moldavia And I thought Iceland was the best singer.

I was forced to watch this shit

Noooo!!
Medic, man down!


I feel your pain,

I still have flashbacks from the seconds i had to watch while zapping past the 23456 chanels showing the garbage

 

[Levin]

I liked Moldova's as well. One of the few well sung AND cheerful songs.

Norway was good, but with some weird stop in the middle. He won because he was cute I guess. Nice violin work though.

Finland's song okay but the "rapper" guy looked like grandpa with a hat trying to look cool. He had no presence, and ruined an otherwise okay-ish performance.

England's song was well sang, but too pompous and lacking substance to back that up.

Sweden's contrubition was fucking embarrassing. I knew when she got voted through that we'd end up competing for the last spots. She looks like George W's sister and the tune matches it. We'd have been better off sending ANY of the other songs from our local finals.

I actually like Romania's song too. Was catchy.

I had £50 on norway to win at 3/1, £50 on England to finish in the top 5 at 7/2 and £100 on norway to finish in the top 10 at evens.

The Eurovision is so easy to predict

 

[ilaya]

so you lost on the england bet then.

its united kingdom...

 

[Sparx]

so you lost on the england bet then.

its united kingdom...

Clearly you dont know anything. Whenever an englishman represents the UK its for England but someone from Scotland, NI or Wales its for the United Kingdom

 

[Marc]

so you lost on the england bet then.

its united kingdom...

Oh dont be so pedantic. You know what I meant

The Eurovision is so easy to predict

How much did you win?

 

[Marc]

How much did you win?

£625 including my stake return. Also had russia to win last year. Odds were 10/1 before the Semi's last year but I only got 3/1 by the time I bet. I always thought Norway had a chance, judging by what I read, but then a load of money was placed on them leading up to it and the odds plummeted so I lumped on as soon as I could.

My mate told me about eurovision betting. He wins hundreds every year. Reckons its so easy to predict if you do your research and watch the betting paterns.

 

[Gorbachioo]

Heres Georgias this years song which was disqualified from the actual competition. The name is "We Don't Wanna Put In"

YouTube - Eurovision 2009 GEORGIA - EBU rejects Georgia Eurovision entry


Its actually pretty good.

 

[leviathane]

why was it disqualified? cos of politics?

 

[Lethul]

why was it disqualified? cos of politics?

Yes

"we dont want putin"

 

[fettoken]

Ah yes. Lyrics cannot contain any political statements. At least not if its rant.

 

[Gorbachioo]

As far as i know the rules say no politics at all.


....And we all know how well that rule is enforced. Even if we forget all the global warming/world peace shit there have been alot of political performances like this one:

YouTube - Teapacks - Push the Button (Eurovision 2007 semi-finals)

Im not criticising the decision though. Just saying there could be a little more consistency.
