Subsim Eurovision Thread - Page 2

I always thought that Eurovision was just a sketch on the Benny Hill show.

I have seen Eurovision and the end must be near....
The sooner the better

The best act on the stage this evening was Jan Delay. This is german music, not Lena!
In a just world he would win!

My prediction: either Estland, Switzerland or France will win.

However the best song was from Moldavia!

I don't know it hard for me to pick lol.
It should be Ireland vs France

Lena wasn't that bad.

Please don't

I'm looking forward to having to apologise for my country. Wouldn't have to had I not bloody emigrated. Sigh.

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

Penguin · 05-15-11, 02:56 AM

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!

Hey Hey,

I watched the entire show for I am a loser. I usually watch it to see the UK get anything between 1 and 9 points but that backfired

Moldova was by far the best.

I still wonder why I bother watching because every year I complain about the voting system. Block nations all voting for each other simply ruins it. I have no idea what goes through there minds when they a voting. I wouldn't pick up the phone and automatically vote for Ireland or France just because they are close to me. I would vote for either the most stupid song or actually the best song (if there ever was a good song on this show) it cofuddles me.

Rant over...

Now I've seen everything!!!

Azerbaijan being a part of Europe ?
Next time, this opera singer called Britney Spears will win, and the media will let everyone know it was the greatest performance ever seen on eurovision of course, that is a song contest more "vision" than "euro" these days.

Azerbaijan officialy bacame part of europe now.
The whole Eurovistion is trash so why complain about this particular country.
No one takes it too seriously and many respected musicians avoid it.

Irish or France should have won

Both tried to be original

Jimbuna · 05-15-11, 12:31 PM

These two could only claim to be original if they sang a Muppit song
