Subsim Eurovision Thread

[the_tyrant]

This was originally a thread about Osama, but it seems like I'm late

so I changed it to eurovision

so, my European friends, what do you think of this year's contestants?
I think the contestants were stronger last year, this years contestants seem weak overall
after all, I only started watching after the awesome sax guy from last year went viral

well the contestants:http://www.youtube.com/user/eurovisi.../0/vkm6hCiuyXw

Is it that time of the year again?
Never cared for it, will never care for it. Never really watched, will never watch.

I do have to give them some credit though. Some 5 years back my mom was watching Eurovision, and I was sitting in the room, when Lordi started. That got me into metal, and in no time I was addicted to it (don't really listen to Lordi anymore though)

Eurovision eh? More like "lets vote for our closest neighbours, and they will vote for us the following year"

This.
Seems to be especially true for Eastern European countries

[STEED]

Great!

A early night.

Our entry for the UK should be Cradle of Filth

Precisely...it was ruined more than ten years ago when the influx of other countries brought with them a whole new kind of bias that had nothing to do with the actual musical acts but more a case of pinning ones colours to each others regional masts.

Glad I'm at work feeling sorry for the wife who is having to watch it because the daughter wants to see it

and Azerbaijan wins
I didn't even know where that is before today

Wow, Azerbaijan, nobody of us even gave a tip on it, as the only attribute of the song was its avarageness. I am glad the the terrible musical crimes of Sweden, Greece and the UK did not win! Much too many votes for this garbage!

That was a pretty good prediction, with Switzerland and Estland at the last 2 places
Remember: don't ask me about European musical taste!

I liked the cover version she did of her old song, together with Raab. Her new song was nothing special. I am proud however that me and my Frau managed not to hear it before. It is possible to go through life and to avoid chart music!
