And let's not mention the Scandinavian Conspiracy Laughing

and of course no-one votes for the UK anymore

I wonder why Rolling Eyes

What's the betting that the Balkan states will all vote for each other as well?

While we're at it, how about Greece and Cyprus Rolling Eyes

Greece don't even need to have an entry to get Douze pwan from Cyprus Laughing

I might be starting to get old and sad, or just sad, but I've quite liked a few of the songs in recent years.

Confession time: I still have Wild Dances(Ruslana), Every Way That I Can(Sertap Erener), I Wanna (Marija Naumova) and Runaway (Sahlene) on my MP3 player. Embarassed

I can think of a reason that nobody votes for the UK, and it's not political. It's that all our entries in recent years have been truly and utterly completely appalling.

Well i don't know what made you UK folks that sad, i think us Dutchables have a good reason not to be happy... Sending that **** (insert not so nice words) in, i mean, we have better right? Ah well, looks like a "who has the greatest looser' contest again. I hope someone stirs up the mix, Lordi was a nice change Smile

It's definitely car crash TV. I'm tring to think of the worst Eurovision act ever, but I can't get past Scooch!

I would think that Switzerland would be one of the top contenders this year (I like DJ Bobo!). I was quite shocked though that Lise Darly of Monaco was 39th out of 40 in 2005. She was quite a good singer!

... important Eurovision news ...

I've been looking for a good example of an oxymoron. Thank you for that one! Very Happy

I loved the rock monsters who won last year. I just got back from Tescos with the obligatory Eurovision case of Stella.

Best bit for me is Sir Terry Wogan's snarky comments, he never sounds very sober for the occasion, nor will I be.

^^^Lordi were actually pretty good (of course in Eurovision that's relative)
@Shiver, worst ever? Well Gina G often springs to mind.

Is it pathetic that I am getting excited that there is only 20 minutes to go until the final starts. I really can't wait.

Who have people got their money on?

419Eater Admin Joined: 30 Sep 2003 Posts: 7469

How many are in the final?

Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 7:02 pm

^^^^42 I believe. I didn't realise their were that many eastern European countries.

Drag queen from Ukraine is favourite. Sir Cliff Richard will be spinning in his grave. Well he will be eventually.

Ah, Lordi. Mystic landscapes, fire and cute masks. Finland, land of the 1000 lakes, billions of mosquitos and countless saunas. There aren't much alternatives in the long winters between vodka, singing and developing very advanced baiting techniques.

It's the best oppurtunity in the year to have a good laugh at the expense of them that live on the continent. I definitely will not be wasting my 25p voting for Bosnia&Herzegovina.

01 Bosnia-Herzegovina:

At least 2500 years old costumes. Dramatic Balkan flair without any sheep. 12 points from the neighbours guaranteed. Bwargh.

02 Spain:

Oh shit, a crappy boygroup. They wouldn't even have a chance on Mallorca.

Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 7:16 pm

My mum has fallen in love with the boys from Spain. They don't appeal to me musically or aesthetically however. Another one that shall be recieving no vote from me.

And where are all Sir Terry's coments? I remember him being a lot funnier last year. I need to drink more I think.

The Belarus bloke is just plain cheesy and orange. He scares me and my dog is hiding behind the sofa. I have only just got her to s**t outside and now, thanks to Belarus, she's done a nice steamy one on the carpet.

03 Belarus:

Horribly fake accent and the gigolo can't sing. 12 points from Russia.

Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 7:23 pm

Ireland is not very good but the British will give them at least 8 points. We love them.

04 Ireland:

Now this is certainly different. Does her microphone have problems or is the bad sound intentionally?

Finlands a bit tasty aint she!

Got a bit of a thing for goth chicks though Embarassed

05 Finland:

Dramatic rock, perfect catchline: "Leave me alone, I wanna go home."

I would have preferred R.I.P.Uli with "Helsinki is Hell".
