Edge Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Seen a bit of it on TV last night. OMFG what a heap of pish Eurovision really is. Some Geriatric from Turkey, Some Masked Asshats from Finland, A Shocking Tribute to Abba/Girls Aloud from Portugal, and last but not least good old Royaume Uni (nils points) with some kiddy fiddler..... Entertainment..........I think not!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 well, in my country they have great expectations about our rappresentative... i dunno...don't think that kind of song would pass...and win the contest... but the singer is pretty nice...and a year ago it came outside a porn video that she made...yummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I usually don't worry to much about the whole contest but it must be remembered that Eurovision has given us some wonderful new artist's including Abba. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnkaz Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Abba was a palindrome. Cheers Johnkaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm shocked that some of you don't like this It is definitely "so bad it's good!" We love it every year, some of the appalling efforts some countries make. I used to try and get a beer from as many countries as I could - but it's very difficult since I moved to Australia! It's also difficult since the finalists are only decided at the last minute. Still - I try my best! It's a great drinking game if you're into that sort of thing. ONE WORD OF WARNING - we don't get to see it until SUNDAY night in Australia. So don't spoil it for me!! Speak in code!! In the UK (and Australia gets Terry Wogan's UK coverage) it's a big laugh. I'm pretty clear (from some of their entries) that Germany and Russia are in on the joke too. But it relies on countries taking it seriously to be funny. All that kitsch! And the voting too - all the underhand and corrupt voting is hysterical. Greece always gives Cyprus 12 points and vice versa. All the Balkans give each other loads of points. Geography is the single biggest factor in the point scoring - Ireland went from being the only non-UK country to sing in English (apart from maybe Malta?) and it used to win all the time. Now that many sing in English (or did last time around), Ireland has been geographically isolated (not enough friends) and it got relegated. Funny, funny stuff.

cornerstone Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Loved it Every time I think it won't crack me up, it does. We had tears at some points. WTF was that puppet with a paper plate for a head in the Latvian song?! And how many times did the host say 'Amazing'! Some of the songs had a bit of the 'My Lovely Horse' about them for anyone who knows Father Ted. As in, please don't let us have to pay to host it next year! The British entry was abysmal. I spent whole song looking like this: Great winner. But all those countries voting gets a bit tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Wogan did however notice. Have the Aussies watched it yet?? Cheers Johnkaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
