Eurovision

[hanz]

So today is Eurovision again, what do you think who is going to win?
I will certainly give my vote to Finland, Lordi is just too cool :hehe:
You can see their video here mms://213.35.156.10/euro/riigid/Soome.wmv

You can also see all other videos here, but note that this is Estonian site

Eurovision is patehtic, and i believe that the publics votes dont count. anyway its just political voting, the baltic states vote for each other, ireland gives britian some points, sweden, denmark etc give each otehr 12 points... its a farce!

Well said!

You speak my mind!

The whole thing is ludicrous. The costumes suck, the host sucks and, to be honest, I'd rather poke pencils in my ears than listen to most, if not all, of the music in Eurovision.

Quite possibly the worst thing about Europe IMHO.

 

[Peter]

I really hope Finland do win, at least they have the balls to try something different instead of the tat that is usually on it.

The lordi song is quite catchy.

But 01wojtowicz is correct there is way too much political voting that goes on.

 

[01wojtowicz]

theres usually one good song, well the songs rubbish but the performance is good, and then theyre the only people who have a chance against the political voting!

and is israel in europe cos theyre in eurovision!!!

 

[dc1pop]

Its too political. I think we proved then when the year UK went to war with America to Iraq we dint get no points

 

[kev]

it is too policital now. UK gets trounced every time because it is americas friend and the most ridiculous one always win. Its priceless TV though because it is so funny :hehe:

 

[Joe]

it is REALLY POLITICAL.. i dont think UK was that bad, yet... 'nil point'
=/

The Uk entry is absolute crap. Us here in the UK seem incapable of ever putting anything decent on it.

The Finish entry was just on and was quite good, shame they did not have any pyrotecnics (probably spelt wrong)

 

[01wojtowicz]

wow, watched a bit and so far the UK seems better than most,and the one with the masks and pyrotechnics and stuff was good!

 

[Peter]

Lordi the finish entry actually won the contest. I honestly did not beleive that they would get anywhere (but of course hoped they would) and lo and behold they did it.


Anyone who is not sure who they are should take a look at:-

[Sabre]

I personally thought the best act won.

It was the act that pushed through all the political voting and was something a bit different.

(I've liked Lordi for quite a while now.. but that's not the point .. did anyone know they've been round since 1992?)

 

[Peter]

in all honesty the first time i heard of them was a couple of months ago when they were qualifying for it in finland. I am into hard rock/metal however so was my obvious favorite on the show (not that I watched many acts tbh).

Terry Wogan commenting was spot on about the neighbours voting for each other, a shame really as the competition could and should be on par with the other dreaded shows on uk tv of pop idol etc.

 

[Michelle]

I did my normal..... fell asleep

 

[Rom]

I watched the voting part only.

As you notice, France always gives 12 to Turkey. There are several more that give 12 to eachother every year.

What I was most surprised about is that Turkey gave 10 to Armenia

Too political...

:hehe:

I think you should get on a ferry and come to Estonia. From time to time we have even +20°C, but other than that it is pretty much the same here.
O... and we don't say "Perkele, it's cold outside today.", we say "Kurat, it's cold outside today." (but I have heard that many Finns prefer "kurat" to "perkele")

Wow, that was terrible! Not quite sure what eurovision is... hopefully it's a contest to see who can come up with the corniest music and video!
