I just wanted to give some attention to this years European Song Contest.
To be more specific the entry from the country where our lovely developers currently are.
I'm if course talking about Iceland!
Euroband - This is my life
They've just cleared the semifinal and is en-route to the big final tomorrow.
Of course being from Sweden makes me biased to Charlotte Perrelli with Hero, though if I was to choose someone else it got to be Euroband.
We need more EuroTrance in ESC!

Hehehe, I love the Eurovison Song Contest. Of course being British, I probably don't love it for the same reasons you do

The highlight of eurovision, Terry Wogans commentary, if it weren't for that I don't think the bbc would bother airing it anymore.

Urgh, bland europop!
/me runs away and throws up violently.
Why the hell do so many countries do the whole europop thing instead of showing their roots? (besides the obvious answer )

I do love Eurovision. Again British so love to pull the songs apart. Last year my corp got together on Teamspeak and *****ed and moaned about the songs.
Great fun and looking forward to it again. I was thinking of setting up a channel in eve for Saturday... but thought better about it.
I am amazed that the pirate song hasnt made an appearance on the forums yet... so here is a link

Terry is brilliant, still remember "Dr Death and the toothfairy". I love him predicting the scores so accuratly but then again its not too hard. This year I'm hoping for a few votes from Poland if they entered, and Malta o.c.

I hate the music but find the trashy bands pretty fun to watch to make fun of. It's basically a hyped freak-show. 
Are Sweden's food supplies diminished? That person sining for them is anorexic and needs help. 
That pirate song makes me cry. It's not piratey at all. 
And Iceland's entry is boring. 
I guess I'll wait until it's over and then just watch stuff people recommend me. Sounds less risky 
I hope they cancel it some day.
Happy singing,

We have lots of food, but also a lot of TV brainwashing and magazines...even insanely hot women are not satisfied with themselfs sometimes. Too fat, too skinny, too... much like everyone else.
Never just right.

She also looks like a he!
Anyhow I predict a final where its Sweden vs Norway. That being said I think Eurovision is horrible. Its so god damn kitsch.

Last year, Ukrane should have won it. Hands down.
I'm out tonight and won't be watching - does it get repeated in the UK?

Sweden to take the crown imho. Charlotte Perelli has already won the contest before, and has a good entry in.
My particular faves are :
Armenia
Latvia
Belgium (didn't make it to the final though)
I believe Russia and Ukraine are the bookie's faves.

You know what I'd like to see in the Eurovision song contest? I map that shows the country currently giving votes and lights up the countries they give points to, it'd just really hammer it home that it's got almost nothing to do with the songs

And so the Eurovision Political Contest is over again. What a surprise Russia won eh?
It's amazing we still enter really (the UK). It's near enough impossible for us to win. We could put the most amazing act in the world up there and we'd still come near last. It wouldn't matter so much but I'm sure that we lose money somewhere along the line for this rubbish.
Oh well, at least there's always Sir Terry.

my 2 favorites were Greece, then iceland.. i really did not like the russian one! and the UK one should not have been so low.
Germany, England, Ireland, France dunno know we bother to enter, and agreed i only watch it for wogans comments, im sure he has a few bottles of wine up there for this and has a great time lol

the russian one sucked! No shoes...lol
Ice skaters...
For some reason I liked Finland oh, Ireland was cool also.
Im not from Europe, but my wife is, so I watched it with her one thing I noticed was that some people representing their countries, weren't from their countries. For example, the woman who represented Greece. She lives the the United States. What, not one person Living in Greece has talent?
Another thing that struck me, many performances were in english. The Russian guy sung in english. The ukranian Girl too.
Much better than American Idol, imo.

Yup since we put so much money in it we are guaranteed a place every year. Don't know how many millions it is.

This is the problem. People vote for the countries they don't want to see relegated, we can't be relegated so it doesn't matter about voting for us.

It was block voting again. Im from Serbia and I was not supriced when Serbs gave most of points to neighbour countries , even if their songs were crap (sry Bosnia, but rly, what kinda song is that-still cant belive that serbs gave 12 pts). Block voting is something that definitely ruin that competition. Russia won mostly thx to votes from other ex soviet countries, and they cant deny that.
How ever, real winner for me is Norway.
