That's an impressive coup that leaves a writing on the wall.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is it just extra security for Eurovision 2012? :hmmm:

I've just seen little bits of Israel's entry Izabo (http://www.eurovision.tv/page/multimedia/videos?id=48893) - and they need all the security they can get - it's attrocious! :nope:

Don't mention coups, you will spark a regional and civil war.
So does this mean Israel is going to take on Russia and her allies in a fight over disputed territory and unrecognised borders?

lol not bad song for eurovision.

[Herr-Berbunch]

No, not bad, attrocious. Come back Dana International, all is forgiven. I suppose it's not as horrific as the UK's entry. Do we learn nothing from Finland's 2006 entry? :nope:

[MH]

well...eurovision is not what it used to be.
Singers are not competing much to take part.
I feel its same all over europe not only here....eurovision has become a bit obscure tradition.

Thread.

Eurovision.

Okaayyyy....

We'll get a glimpse of their intentions when they start handing out Russian citizenship to Azerbaijanis.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Ah, come on Sky - you didn't expect a 'end of the world' discussion, did you? :hmmm:





Sorry for derailing. :O:

Could well end up like Georgia revisited.

Yep that's what I was thinking.

:o attrocious? Is this the famous British understatement?
This is a musical war crime!

I don't care if a furious mob hunts down the band and puts them to trial at the International Criminal Court - just safe the nice keyboard chick - and the redheaded dancers :DL

This song sounds very 60s.
Happy happy...well suited for eurovision.:O:
(has some oriental touches which might be a bit off...to some)

Nothing against happy music, my favorite from the past years is still Athena (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93T2khreyGM) from Turkey, it was happy and good!
But the voice of Izabo's "singer", the voice! horrible! :dead:

You guys should bring back Daliah Lavi (http://musik.plonki.com/musikvideo/3387333,daliah-lavi-wer-hat-mein-lied-so-zerstoert-ma) :sunny: - her accent is extremely sexy

[MH]

I would send Ninet :D

I just heard that John Bolton, former US Ambassador to the UN and UN weapons inspector is accusing the Obama administration of leaking the Israeli agreement with Azerbaijan in order to derail their preparations for a strike against Iran. Dunno if it is true but it certainly sounds like something Obama would do. On the other hand it sounds like something Bolton would say.

I would not be surprised. I see the recent claims by the CIA that there is no more bomb program, in the same light. And since longer time I feel that Obama plays a double game on Israel.

I also think that Israel does not trust the US, and will not ask for permission and will not give a word of early warning. In the past they have not, too.

[Oberon]

If I were Israel I sure as hell wouldn't trust the US...well, not under the current administration anyway.
