EuroVision Thing

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Go Ukraine!!!!

Andymackem nets £££££s on a 5/1 shot.

Better still, at the flat Eurovision party (I know, it wasn't really my idea), I netted further £££££s when everyone insisted Greece would win.

Never underestimate the Slavic block vote, or the joy of "ethno-military" costumes (their description, if you can be bothered with the E/vision website). Never a contest.

Haven't added it up yet, but probably earned close on £100, for a capital risk of barely £50.

Good God! Is that still going? Bring back Jeux Sans Frontiers. Much more entertaining. Cue Stuart Hall and the penguin suits.

My fav was the budgies who had to leap of a platform and hit the bell with their head before plunging into a pool of water....ahhh still makes me chuckle even now.

But ripping off half your outfit in mid-song is sooooo 1981. Just because it worked for Latvia a couple of years back doesn't mean everyone should do it.

Still, it was a big leap forward from the quintet of Gary Numan clones the Greeks sent out a couple of years ago. Something about a password?

Im not sure what bothers me more...

The fact that it seems that there is no need for the songs, at least not as far as the voting goes, or the fact that i care :(

Still playing guitar - sometimes weird shaped ones.

Someone told me the Turkish entry looked like a hardcore punk band - did anyone hear what the actually sounded like? I suspect more Busted than Exploited right?

Sunset Yellow: remember? I haven't laughed so much for three unbroken minutes for as long as I can remember. That year was the best ever for crappy Eurovision. The ugly Russian boyband were special as well.

Ian Smurf: They sounded like a band, one you might actually entertain the idea of hearing, as opposed to the usual Eurocrap. Unfortunately, they sounded like a very bad one. And they had a nasty line in 80s-style soundbiting going on. Looked to me like the Turks didn't think they could afford/be bothered to host it again and made sure they attracted attention but not success.

Paddy: Treat is as a grand divertissement. It makes more sense that way. And don't mess around with the block voting. It's not like it matters or anything.

The only solution, (which I'd quite enjoy) is for 24 anonymous acts to perform a song in the language of the host country. That way people vote on song and performance, not nationality. Now find me a Lame Academy reject who can sing in Ukrainian!

LOL - thanx for the info - but now I'm even more intrigued - if anyone knows of a link to a audio stream, let me know.
