Eurovision 2010

[anastasia]

It's getting close to the ESC again. :) Semi finals are on BBC 3 on 25th and 27th May, and the final is on 29th May on BBC 1 / HD.

We got the CD through yesterday and have only listened to it once. A couple of tracks sounded interesting (can't remember which ones yet, will have to listen again later!)

Anyone else got the CD yet?

[anastasia]

Just thought I'd give this a bump as the first semi final is on BBC Three tonight at 8pm.

Having listened to the cds a number of times now, I think my fave this year is Germany's entry. Not that they'll win of course!

[danielsesay]

Her accent on this song is weird though! It's like she's trying to sound mockney but not really getting it right. Got played to death on MTV and Viva when I was in Germany.

Cute as hell though!! :n0rty:

I'm not sure what it is, but I always love watching Eurovision. It's one of those TV events I seem to look forward too.

[KennyVader]

Has Britain actually got an entry this year? If so haven't heard anything about it.

[danielsesay]

Here it is:

[KennyVader]

OK, thanks, that's not tooooo bad, as Eurovision goes, could do with the energy notching up a level or two. We won't win of course anyway though, until Europe forgives us for Tony Blair :(

[Mr Majestik]

What's the odd's on the UK getting zero points?

That songs blander than a curry recipe in the daily Mail.

[Tempest]

Oh dear.

Perhaps we'd better save the money it's gonna cost and just tell him to stay at home.


Not that it's terrible in an out of tune kinda way, just that it's dreary in a I'll put the kettle on whilst he's singing kinda way :(

[Tempest]

Come a long way in almost 30 years have we NOT.......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRJVXszKu4Q

[Q]

Eurovision week starts.Semi final 1 on BBC3. Moldova 1st one, is far better than the UK.Not a fan at all of ours this year.Good to see Denise Van Outen making an appearance

Pete Waterman on Radio 5 on Monday claiming its a good pop song.Pete you have lost your ear,you stick to train spotting.Justin Lee Collins entry is far better than the UK.We had a chance with that.

[mamboboy]

Why do we still make an effort? We could send Elton John and we'd still come in the bottom half. We should just enter absurd metal bands (like Norway's Lordi... they won for goodness sake) - I think Cradle of Filth would do just fine :D

[Smi1er]

How we never won with this this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBOnDcmckdc)I still don't know:(

Kids have been warned they won't be able to watch BGT on Saturday:lol:

[Boink!]

Just watched up to the Balkan entry and apart from the woman with the squeezebox, the rest have been surprisingly dull.

[Q]

I cant tell you how much I dislike Sarah Cawood and the commentary from those 2.I dont hate anything but she's coming about as close as anything.Im muting in between the songs and looking away when she's on screen.There's millions of better looking women in the UK and we send "Chav Scum"

Still not heard anything better than Moldova yet?

[Q]

Thankfully another upbeat entry-Albania

This is what Eurovision is all about.

[Q]

The 4 I liked,

Moldova,Albania,Greece and Iceland.

What happens if Iceland and Greece get through and win as they are already Bankrupt :-) No chance of us winning it thankfully:D

Equal 1st:Albania/Moldova.
3rd:Iceland
4th:Greece.

[KennyVader]

Finland wins the eye candy prize I think.

[Boink!]

My gf said the Icelandic entry was like an advert for Evans.

[KennyVader]

I thought that but didn't want to say it!

[Q]

My 4 got though that I liked.Didnt notice Finland so will have to re check that.

[neverland]

Totally amazed (and overjoyed) that Russia got through. The doo-wop dirge genre is usually under-represented at Eurovision. Alas, come the final I doubt the voting public will appreciate its demented genius.

I'm disappointed that Latvia didn't get through. Only Mister God knows why.

Did anyone else find the Polish (I think) song a bit disturbing? Specifically the bit where he had the woman in a headlock whilst the other two women ripped her top off. I mean it's sweet that people are still homaging Bucks Fizz after all these years, but couldn't they keep it a bit less rapey?

[Q]

Semi-final 2 just started on BBC3.I wonder what tonight will bring.Sarah whats her name hasnt got any prettier over last 2 days and the mute comes in helpful.

[KennyVader]

The official Eurovision site has a backstage feed that I thought would be interesting but it needs some godawful "Octoshape" plugin which just doesn't seem to work for more than about 10 seconds at a time, then it needs restarting. You would think a Broadcasting organisation would have a clue about 'net streaming as well as conventional transmitter broadcasting by now, but apparently not. FFS, should just be using justin.tv or livestream.tv or one of the many similar sites that just use flash. Or just talk to the BBC bods to host it for them.

Muppets.

[Q]

Watched the 2nd bit of the Justin Lee Collins Doc this evening before the 2nd Semi final.Im really surprised he didnt at least get into the last 5 of the Ireland final.Having heard the UK entry the other day and having heard JLC song 3 times now then I think its far better than the UK entry.

He's got a really good voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0knrRog1mA

[KennyVader]

I like the fairground organ prop that the Dutch just had on stage. The giant apricot or whatever it was that an earlier one had was quite something too. Definitely the Night of Gimmicks so far! The Swedish lot having given everyone in the place red glowsticks must have cost an absolute packet!

[Q]

Romanian is best song this evening,its made me take notice song wise and the woman on the piano all in Black PVC is :thumbs:

Possible Winner me thinks for Romania

[Q]

Irish entry,nothing compared to JLC.I hope they win it though as it might bankrupt them :-)

Nobody messes with the JLC:D

[Q]

Bulgaria Female dancers-very nice and good song.My no 2 behind Romania

All the good looking woman in Ireland then you could have thought they could have sent a looker.Personally I preferred the chicken :-) If the song isnt that good then at least you have something to look at for 3 mins.

[KennyVader]

Jeez, what did Sweden do to **** off Europe's voters? How could she not go through? Shame as along with the Finnish entry that failed the other night, the Swedish girl was lovely.

Massive shame/surprise about the Netherlands' kooky entry not going through either.

At least those nutjobs in the sparkly shorts didn't make it.

[Q]

Bulgaria went out,I liked the song and the dancers were oiled upto the limit :D

Romania and Turkey got through though.

[Zaichik]

What a boring load of crap went through tonight. One crappy identikit ballad after another. :razz:

[mamboboy]

I haven't seen hardly any songs to be honest. I mean, who the hell is that guy singing for us? He's like Andy Samberg crossed with some butlins cabaret performer...bottom 5 for sure. However, I think the French song has a pretty good chance - it has a real world cup feeling to it.
About how bland the songs are... it seems people are fed up with the campness of Eurovision and are now going for some power ballads instead. Strange competition this as a few years back we had this:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eX_rNEPIgc8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eX_rNEPIgc8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

It's what made the Eurovision so damn fun!

[neverland]

However, I think the French song has a pretty good chance - it has a real world cup feeling to it.

Isn't that a case of penny-pinching and commissioning one song to do two jobs? Eurovision entry and World Cup coverage theme. Truly this is the austerity Eurovsion. The presentation is much less lavish than Russia's effort last year. And presumably poor old Latvia had to use an internet translation site to come up with their English lyrics.

I’ve asked my uncle Joe
But he can't speak
Why does the wind still blow?
And blood still leak?
So many questions now
With no reply
What for do people live until they die?
What for are we living?
What for are we crying?
What for are we dying?
Only Mr. God knows why
What for are we living?
What for are we dreaming?
What for are we loosing?
Only Mr. God knows why

(But) His phone today is out of range

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

[danielsesay]

^:lol: Is that through for Saturday? Should be comedy gold then.

EDIT: Don't worry, just seen it. It's awful. Looks good though. :n0rty:

Shame about the Dutch entry, hopefully there's a clip on Youtube as it sounds like a fun performance.

EDIT: Just seen that as well. Very 70s! Not fun, but at least she sang in here native language (which seems so much lacking these days).

[mr starface]

Will be watching on Sunday whilst getting increasingly merry, as always.

Agree the JLC entry for Ireland was by the best I've heard and they would have gone quite far with it I would have said just on the novelty/press angle alone.

The UK entry is so dull it will do well to scrape into double figures.

[Boink!]

Jeez, what did Sweden do to **** off Europe's voters? How could she not go through? Shame as along with the Finnish entry that failed the other night, the Swedish girl was lovely.
Ah, that is a shame, I thought it had a chance of winning.

Roll on Saturday. :D

[anastasia]

What a boring load of crap went through tonight. One crappy identikit ballad after another. :razz:

Totally agree. I thought the first semi-final was really good though. Was really pleased that Russia got through, although not happy that Estonia didn't.

I'll be voting for Germany and Russia tomorrow night. There are a decent number of songs in the final, so should be a good one. Shame one of the best songs of the competition didn't get through.

[MovieMax]

Looking forward to the final (as usual), might even vote this year. Although at the moment can't decide, either Belgium or Romania (maybe Germany).

[Boink!]

Was really pleased that Russia got through, ...
Really? Him with the biro photograph of his lost love?

[Q]

Well its started.Graham Norton is getting on my wick already.Will see how it goes but if he gets on my wick too much then Im putting Radio 2 on with Ken Bruce to match the pictures.

Also the Sing along Lyrics on the red Button take up half the page and block what is below them,so not good for looking at revealing dresses so gone back to the BBC1 normal coverage.I wasnt going to sing a long any way.

[KennyVader]

Nowegian Stage Security anti-invader FAIL!

lol!

[NicolaUK]

Stage invasion!!

[stu_69]

some weirdo just invaded the spain performance.

[KennyVader]

Well its started.Graham Norton is getting on my wick already.Will see how it goes but if he gets on my wick too much then Im putting Radio 2 on with Ken Bruce to match the pictures.

Also the Sing along Lyrics on the red Button take up half the page and block what is below them,so not good for looking at revealing dresses so gone back to the BBC1 normal coverage.I wasnt going to sing a long any way.

Agreed and agreed.

I think the reason they've got that massive stupid block-out-everything background on the red button lyrics is because when the phone numbers come up on the main picture, they also block up half of it :mad:

[Boink!]

Pitch invasion, song 2!!! :lol:

[Gizmo]

dreary ballad....the night is feeling like a long one already.

[dco_chris]

Is he slightly off key is it just me?

[stu_69]

Anyone with a glow in the dark violin gets my vote.

[Wilson]

nope not slightly, hugely :D

Bring back Euro Its a Knockout, this is a larf but that used to be totally mental.

[Gizmo]

That moldovan effort was sounding good to timmy mallet popped up on sax, with some rather questionable danced moves. :D

[Jim989]

Anyone with a glow in the dark violin gets my vote.

Not only that, but they put in a sax aswell!

Moldova ftw!! :lol:

[Gizmo]

Look man enjoy your sax playing but stop thrusting your crown jewels at the screen, please.

[Q]

Agreed and agreed.

I think the reason they've got that massive stupid block-out-everything background on the red button lyrics is because when the phone numbers come up on the main picture, they also block up half of it :mad:

Its a pity Terry wont come back now they have changed the voting.Graham Norton is just so over used this year and people are sick of him,I know I am and I use to like Graham Norton.Im not bothered about watching his TV show wthese days where as I never missed it previously.

Come up with a compromise for the Lyrics.Ive put Channel 301 (BBC Red Button) on another PC that has USB Freeview on it thats is next to my TV so can see them both at same time:thumbs:

Just thought I can use this for Grand Prix for In car views as well:D

[Gizmo]

That's not too bad in a Bon Jovi-lite way. Shame they couldn't get the last verse a bit more anthemic for a crowd pleasing end.

[Jim989]

The song was ok, the singers were dreadful.

Now some guy'n'guitar eh?

[Wilson]

why have they got some lass miming to some bloke?

[Gizmo]

That boy wasn't actually playing his guitar was he?

WTF is this from Serbia?? He can't sing a note.

[stu_69]

WTF is Ellen singing about?

[Jim989]

Seriously, Serbia, W-T-F!!!!

[Sam]

Serbia with the the Serbian Andrew Stone :D

[NicolaUK]

Spain to 'sing' again?

[36Degrees]

Spain to perform again ?!
Phone lines open from the start of the first song !?

RIGGED I say !

[KennyVader]

Spain get to perform again at the end, not sure why, the stage invader didn't spoil the performance really, most people won't have even noticed!

[Jim989]

Oh, he was not part of the act then?

[NicolaUK]

Spain are one of the Big Four so I suppose they threatened to pull their funding if they didn't get another chance.

The guy on the right is tuneless for Belarus.

[Sam]

So flaaaatttttttttttttttttt

[Q]

After a slow reboot,PC ran out of memory Im back. Radio 2 on DAB is 2 seconds in front of Freeview BBC1 so wont work.I might mute when songs not on and listen to Radio 2 :-)

Moldova best so far for me.I survived until Song 7 and then started on the Beer just like Ole Tel use to do with the Sherry.:D

[Jim989]

Magical appearing wings do not distract from the terrible singing.

[NicolaUK]

This should be JLC singing for Ireland.

[KennyVader]

I didn't know Sonia's mum was Irish?

[Q]

This should be JLC singing for Ireland.

I agree but they already knew who they wanted to sing for them.Would be funny if they win as Ireland really cant avoid to win but would be good to see there face if they win:D "Oh ****,We've done it again.I knew we should have used JLC"

[stu_69]

This should be JLC singing for Ireland.

I thought his song was quite good.

[Sneeka]

what's with all the bland ballads so far?

[KennyVader]

Greece the Euro-trashers. Can they afford to host if they win?

[Jim989]

Ireland was nothing special.

I am just lost for words with Greece.

[Sam]

Whys that bloke got Kylie's dress on?

[Q]

Greece has been watching too many friends especially that one episode.

R2 on DAB on headphones in between the songs and Graham turned down.So Im now using 2pc's,1 portable DAB and 1 Topfield Freeview Recorder to watch Eurovision+ Stella !! .Anyone beat that.

[NicolaUK]

I'm not sure if the UK could afford to host this crap these days. Good job we have no chance again.

[Gizmo]

Can't see Greece placing with this garbage. Seemed to get a good reaction mind, lord knows why.

[stu_69]

I heard the UK song on the radio the other day and I thought it was some bedroom singer they had given a few minutes airtime to. It's just crap.

[Gizmo]

Cheese, bad cheese. Nil points. Backing singers are totally out of tune.

[Jim989]

Not hear the UK song before.

Oh dear, did he just do the Rick Astley wiggle?

[Sneeka]

woo, mediocre 80s pap.

[Q]

Spain get to perform again at the end, not sure why, the stage invader didn't spoil the performance really, most people won't have even noticed!

I didnt but wasnt looking at TV:D

UK sounds flat.Why not use an X factor winner.Im not an X factor Winner but they are usually better than this.

Backing singers are terrible!!! JLC was much better!!!!

[Jim989]

I hope every country got that screen splash that said "DO NOT VOTE FOR THE UK".

[SteveC]

God that was awful. First time I've heard this song and Ihope I never hear it again! So out of tune.

[NicolaUK]

Awful.

[Tempest]

Could that have been any Gayer?

[dco_chris]

Dear god, the backing was as flat as a pancake and he was off key at the end too.

[SteveC]

I hope every country got that screen splash that said "DO NOT VOTE FOR THE UK".

Probably did! :)

[home_bas]

Get the Charlie Brooker Twitter feed on while you watch, hillarious

[Q]

Not hear the UK song before.

Oh dear, did he just do the Rick Astley wiggle?

He's been coached by Pete Waterman who should have stuck to Train Spotting.

Graham Norton is boring :-)Im launching a Campaign for Ken to do the TV and Radio Coverage and save us license payers a bit of money.

[Jim989]

I know, eurovision could really do with more ballads :brickwall

[Sam]

Georgia with a bit of a Kate Bushing thing going on.

[Gizmo]

Wonder if it was another "Gemini tampered equipment" moment or was it really just that terrible?

This Georgian effort is SAGA radio worthy. Pretty awful.

[SteveC]

Get the Charlie Brooker Twitter feed on while you watch, hillarious

hahahahah brilliant

This from the nation that brought you The Kinks

[dco_chris]

This Georgian effort is SAGA radio worthy. Pretty awful.

Singer's pretty easy on the eye though.

[Sneeka]

emo turkey

[Q]

Get the Charlie Brooker Twitter feed on while you watch, hillarious

Cheers for that,Im now on a 2nd window monitoring that with Forums on the other window.

Turkey no.2 I like. Ireland wasnt that bad either but no JLC

[Jim989]

Turkeys effort is pretty good, with epileptic inducing strobes :)

[dco_chris]

Well this is a bit different, not too bad Turkey.

[SteveC]

Getting dizzy with the mad camera work :lol:

[NicolaUK]

Turkey rocking out!!

[Sam]

Albania the first to get the foot tapping tonight.

[Q]

One of my faves Albania.Im predicting bottom 12 and could even be bottom 5 for UK

There are just so many better songs out there tonight.We are getting another kicking.

[Gizmo]

Turkey ftw.

That dude on the violin looked at one moment like he was cutting his own head off such was the vigour of his stroke. :D Bit of a nasally singer for Albania.

[Boink!]

That's the first time I've heard our song and, dear god, that was bland. Better than Jemini but worse than Scooch.

[Jim989]

Albania very poptastic.

[Q]

My top 3 in no order are Moldova,Turkey and Albania.Yep Im abit of a rocker.

[Sneeka]

Look, a singing tent!

[Jim989]

Bjorks sister? I think the question relates to her dress.

[home_bas]

My favourite comment so far was on the Spain one.

"Didn't this guy play the baddie in Ghostbusters 2?"

:lol:

[roar349]

UK was shockingly bad, and what was with the Spain entry? I'm guessing Leo Sayer was donating to sperm banks there in the 80's...

[Gizmo]

Way to go Iceland, that's a stomping tune.

[Jim989]

EuBo. :lol: Good job they do not apply that to snooker, Pete Doherty would have a hard time.

[home_bas]

:lol: "Lady Gaga in a Scottish Widows ad"

[Jim989]

Ukraine with the nice looking singer, crap song. I noticed the audience went wild when she started to strip.

[KennyVader]

ooh this French entry could be the winner I think

[Sam]

Its Otis from the Gadget Show with classic Europap, sorry pop ;)

[Jim989]

Beatle Stomping French track. Nice butt camera angles :)

[SteveC]

They've been watching babestation haha

[SteveC]

I can't help thinking there should be three big red X's hanging above their heads :D

[Sam]

I'm loving this French one :D

[Sneeka]

ringtonetastic

[roar349]

Romania, WTF!

French entry could be the winner

[stu_69]

As an Irish man I could never vote for France (especially anything to do with their football team) but **** me that was brilliant!!!

[Q]

Romania is my fav.She is wearing that amazing PVC outfit again.:luv::luv::luv:

EDIT:PVC Trousers,Sorry got abit excited there :-)

[Sneeka]

omg, romania ftw! :D

[Sam]

Racing Post tipped Romania as a decent each way bet. I'm guessing I can say goodbye to my £1ew as this is rubbish lol

[Q]

Romania for me,I'll pay to vote for that.Also if there is women like that in Romania Im off:D:luv::D

[SteveC]

erm

[Jim989]

Russia with House of the Rising Sun.

[stu_69]

mullets, mullets, they all have mullets!!

[Sneeka]

...and back to the suicidal ballads. Is that Chris De Burgh?

[home_bas]

Russia is Vic & Bob's "Mulligan and O'Hare" and I claim my £5

[stu_69]

"What are you doing man?" best lyrics of the night so far!

[roar349]

Has the Russian forgotten his words, looking intently at that piece of paper

[home_bas]

Has the guy presenting been to Anne Widdecombe's hairdresser?

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/10_02/widdiDM0810_468x631.jpg

[Q]

He's the difference with BBC coverage.Graham is talking all the time no matter what where as Ken is talking in between the main presenters talking and thereby not talking over them.

Bring Back Terry,Bring Back Terry !!!

[roar349]

I think she's got a few apricots down her bra...

[Sneeka]

Norks.

[SteveC]

I think she's got a few apricots down her bra...

I'll help her get them out :n0rty:

[Jim989]

This Armenia lass is pretty good, and the songs not bad either.

[home_bas]

Armenia = :luv::notworthy

[Q]

Has the guy presenting been to Anne Widdecombe's hairdresser?

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/10_02/widdiDM0810_468x631.jpg
:lol:

So far for for me.Romania to win and then Albania,Moldova,Turkey,Iceland.

Well I think its Turkey Ive heard so many I cant remember it now:D

[Gizmo]

Wins the totty of the evening award so far, very pretty.

[SteveC]

Seriously how can you have a song about apricots?

[Jim989]

Damn those apricot tress grow fast in Armenia. I think they have found a solution for world hunger.

[Q]

I think she's got a few apricots down her bra...

I wonder if they are really that big as you can do amazing things with Wonder Bra's these days Im told:D

[Q]

Seriously how can you have a song about apricots?

Do you think they were listening to the song when she turned up to audition:eek::eek:

[Jim989]

Can Gow off her voice.

[home_bas]

Kate Nash's German Pen-pal?

[Gizmo]

What's with the mockney-cockney-German? I thought Kate Nash was annoying! This is a favourite too!

[thescrounger]

I'd show her my bratwurst.

[Little_Dragon]

Do you think they were listening to the song when she turned up to audition:eek::eek:

She was singing? :luv:

[roar349]

German entry's grating...

[SteveC]

I guess Portugal wont be winning this year either then!

[roar349]

I think Portugal are going to send me to sleep...

Oh wait, some drums.

Nope, back to sleep

[Jim989]

Thank you Portugal, I somehow think you will not get in the top 5 for the 35th year in a row.

[home_bas]

I suppose at the very least, compared to Armenia you could take Portugal's entry home to your mum's.

[Sneeka]

10/10 for lip wobble

[Q]

Norks.

Armenia-I'll like to do a Motor Boat with her (aka Wedding Crashers)

[SteveC]

haha Skaat :lol:

[Q]

I suppose at the very least, compared to Armenia you could take Portugal's entry home to your mum's.

Bugger taking her home to your mum,Its you thats living with her:D

[roar349]

Yaaaaaawn

[NicolaUK]

This got through but Sweden didn't?

[Jim989]

Israel going for the lonely woman vote.

[home_bas]

Losing. Will. To. Live.

[Q]

Finally a song as bad as the UK,I give you Israel but I think he's a better singer just a bad song.

[Gizmo]

Been a lot of off-tune singing this evening. This is hurting me ears. ****.

[SteveC]

GOD I hate him

[Jim989]

Denmark. Its every breath you take bassline.

[roar349]

Sounds like a police track

Edit: Great minds..

[Q]

Losing. Will. To. Live.


Only 2 left to go,Hold on and then just the voting.Oh ****. Time for another Beer:D Pizza in oven already.

Have to say in quality of song then we are definatly bottom 5.Pete you should have hung it up on a success not what you will be remembered for now.

Totally,Totally Outclassed this year.Most years it was political but this year its because we were ****

[home_bas]

The Danish guy has robbed the wig department from Spinal Tap

[Gizmo]

It's Sting and Myleene Klass singing a ballad made up of bits from lot's of other people's songs! Yay!

[stu_69]

is that andy murray?

[Jim989]

Sounds like a police track

Edit: Great minds..

Even Brooker agrees :)

[roar349]

It's Sting and Myleene Klass singing a ballad made up of bits from lot's of other people's songs! Yay!

A very poor man's Myleene!

[SteveC]

haha I missed Spain first time round - that has to win due to the weirdness levels

[Jim989]

Spain: This sounds just like your last song.

[home_bas]

:lol: "Okay so that was Every Breath You Take crossed with Simply the Best"

[Q]

Leo Sayer just wont die will he,he's pretending to be spanish to keep his career going.

Should have ended with Denmark,I liked that abit.

[KennyVader]

No that was a lot more interesting WITH the stage invader. They should have separate phone numbers for Spain WITH and Spain WITHOUT. I bet WITH would do better.

[home_bas]

Tell me this isn't groundhog day and I'll be seeing this for the rest of my life...

[Jim989]

Are they brothers or does eveyone in spain have that type of hair?

[Q]

Wouldnt it be funny if we had to listen to no's 3-25 again.Its Ground hog Day.

Charlie Brooker "Oh good. This again. We're stuck in a looping nightmare, folks. It will last 97 years"

[roar349]

Stage invader should have done everyone a favour and killed the ******

[roar349]

Are they brothers or does eveyone in spain have that type of hair?

Only the one's fathered by Leo

Nice velour shirt Mr Presenter

[Jim989]

Fair play to that presenter. Didn't manage to **** that up live.

[stu_69]

still Moldova for me

[home_bas]

Armenia.

That is all.

[Q]

Fair play to that presenter. Didn't manage to **** that up live.

Ken was funny as he is 2 seconds in front of TV then listening to him he was giving you advance warning's of what he was going to do:D

[Smiler]

Fair play to that presenter. Didn't manage to **** that up live.

That was the highlight of the show so far. :D

[KennyVader]

I like to microwave CDs and DVDs too. Although generally not with a microwave I intend using for food ever again :nuts:

[SteveC]

They'd make a fortune if you had to call who you wanted NOT to win

[Fat Bloke]

Did Iceland put a dress on the Volcano and enter it this year?

[Jim989]

I enjoyed quite a lot this year. More than nomral. So here are my top favorities, in order of likeyness...

Turkey <-- Strobetastic Rockfest!
France <-- Beetle Stomping tune, will do well.
Moldova <-- Good tune.
Albania <-- Poppy.
Armenia <-- She can show me her Apricots anytime. :luv:
Belgium <-- It was different, so give him a break :)

[Q]

Vote cast for Romania.Josh from Uk is on Radio 2 at Mo with Ken.

He loved his performance.

[SteveC]

Wish Graham Norton would stop talking

[Walrus Man]

Only liked Moldova, Armenia and Turkey, but I bet France will win.
Why did Spain / Leo get a second go? (not been watching all night)

[roar349]

Should have used her to plug it.

[Jim989]

Why did Spain / Leo get a second go? (not been watching all night)

It was soo good, they had a stage invasion.

[Gizmo]

Turkey and Iceland for me, doubt either have a chance. Who do you all fancy to actually win then?

I'll predict: 1st Azerbaijan 2nd Ireland 3rd France

[Q]

They'd make a fortune if you had to call who you wanted NOT to win

Dont give them idea's:brickwall

[Jim989]

Either France will win with their world cup song, or that German lass with that horrid accent.

[KennyVader]

OK. I like Graham Norton, and indeed briefly met him once. But on this he is ******* me off. Just shut up for a minute, man! Even the red button channel has him on, why couldn't they have left that one just with the plain show audio from Oslo? I could put Radio 2 on I suppose but the slight lack of sync would annoy me too.

[SteveC]

Kinda fancy that german girl the more I see her :D

[Q]

Just dialled 090155 222215 by accident and got "Im sorry this number is out of Service at this time.Party on Dudes":D

[Lowkey]

Anyone else thinking Niles Crane when looking at one of the presenters?

[Sneeka]

Romania or Armenia for me.

[Jim989]

OK. I like Graham Norton, and indeed briefly met him once. But on this he is ******* me off. Just shut up for a minute, man!

I agree, he is just ******* everywhere now. And when Rossie gets ****** off, we have to put up with him on a Friday Night aswell. I don't mind the guy, but it now feels like he is on eveytime I turn the TV on or the Radio. :(

[KennyVader]

The woman presenters' dress looks like some vomited all over it

[SteveC]

haha that security fella there :D

[36Degrees]

It's either Germany or Azer imo, although having heard that accent from Germany, I'm going for Azer - I also don't like the fact that they were first and the phone lines have been open since the beginning, so I think that gives them the edge.... that and Germany's accent is ... I don't know.

Special mention to Armenia for bringing apricots to my attention, and Ukraine for making me ponder just how much skin one should show nowdays.

UK .... last ... I think Ireland might be nice and give us a few points... apart from that .. nope =)

[KennyVader]

Another booboo from the Oslo security, first letting the stage invader on, now trying to stop the people who are part of the flashmob dance :D

[Q]

OK. I like Graham Norton, and indeed briefly met him once. But on this he is ******* me off. Just shut up for a minute, man! Even the red button channel has him on, why couldn't they have left that one just with the plain show audio from Oslo?

I gave up with Graham on Song 9 and went to Ken on R2 in between the breaks.Much bettter.Graham is talking over this song in the break where as Ken is nice and silent.I like this song as well.Put TV on Mute.

I agree the Red button should have Tv audio from Oslo.Maybe worth an email to the BBC for next year.

[Boink!]

When the Israel chap finished his song, my other half said, "that's the face of a man who's just cum." :suspect:

My predictions: 1: Germany, 2. France. 3. The fat woman in red (Iceland?)

[Q]

Looked like Soho Square that in London.

[roar349]

UK useless on the flash mob as well

[KennyVader]

This is a nice montage. I have been to so many of these places. Didn't recognise where the London one was though!

[SteveC]

That dancing is actually pretty cool

[Jim989]

Loved the video to show all the places in union dancing to the tune, then to the UK and well they do not follow the point at all and do some weird **** that involves holding people up to the camera :shrug:

[stu_69]

London was Carnaby street I think.

[Jim989]

Dude in the North Sea. Cannot wait to see his entry next year.

[Q]

Song in break is best song of night for me followed by Romania,Albania,Moldova.

[wen]

Why didn't someone enter this song.

[Fat Bloke]

Quite like the dancing from all the countries myself.

[KennyVader]

Heh that flashmob/montage thing was good. (apart from Graham).

[Walrus Man]

Only liked Moldova, Armenia and Turkey, but I bet France will win.
Think I meant Albania not Armenia, I'm confused... :?:

[Jim989]

Presenter Niles has no shame, donning wings :)

[Jim989]

Time for results!! Think I might wet myself with excitement.

[roar349]

Well that's all our points for tonight

Is that the white stripes the germans are singing?

[Gizmo]

Denmark? Seriously?

[Q]

London was Carnaby street I think.

Looked like Soho Square to me,just off Oxford Street.Was too wide for Carnaby Street.

[Q]

Heh that flashmob/montage thing was good. (apart from Graham).

Ken didnt say a word the whole way though it.Stayed with Ken and Graham is Muted.

[Jim989]

Denmark? Seriously?
I honestly do not even remember Denmark. Did not hit my top 6!

[Gizmo]

Blimey it's Count Dracula.

[Q]

Ken " UK still on 4 points but we are still hopeful":D Cmon on Ken

[stu_69]

Greece and the Denmark were *****. What is going on?

[roar349]

Looks like one of the local chavs giving the results from Turkey

[Q]

I honestly do not even remember Denmark. Did not hit my top 6!

I would have put it in the top 10 but not top 5.

Is this voting in the final just televotes or is 50 % done by a judging panel like the semi's?

[Sam]

I honestly do not even remember Denmark. Did not hit my top 6!

It was the one that plagiarised The Police - Every Breathe You Take. (Didn't hit my top 5 either).

[Gizmo]

C'mon Turkey!

[stu_69]

I thought they were going to sort out all the baltic blok vote rigging.

[Jim989]

YAY! Turkey got 12 from Croatia.

[stu_69]

I can't believe the UK song has more points than Ireland!!

[Fat Bloke]

I liked the Polish lady doing their points :)

[roar349]

Bosnia bird is scary

[Jim989]

I would have put it in the top 10 but not top 5.

It was the one that plagiarised The Police - Every Breathe You Take. (Didn't hit my top 5 either).

Ah yes. Beer is working well now. I guess The Police are unknown in those places :?:
