Eurovision Uberthread

Eh lads, no offence like but shouldn't this Eurovision thread be moved to somewhere other than music? Because the quality[or lack of it] of the songs has bog all to do with the outcome in recent years

How about the 'Rubbish' thread?

Though we'd have to re-name it 'EXPENSIVE Rubbish' to accomodate it properly.

I dont fancy our chances of being round on saturday. have the song on me Ipod and its no 'hold me now'

That's classic ...sooooooo Father Ted ...brilliant!

I think I might just break the habit of a lifetime and vote this year.

May Lordi give Eurovision the death ist's been beggin for this long time.

Heard a snippet of the song on Dave Fanning last night,are they serious or what?.The song is awful but it might liven things up a bit if they make it to the final.

A song from 2003 affects their decision this year...? Perhaps they thought the *serious* Eurovision actually just wasn't worth it this year..

just watched terry wogan's review of the last fifty eurovision. some great moments in it. also a sneak preview of whats to come. to be honest the british rap entry is brutal but could do well. i'm hopeful the belgian entry will score well because it is a cracking dance tune as is the iceland entry. estonia will score well with their europop ditty. Brian Kennedy hasn't a hope of progressing beyond the semi-final.

What in the name of hell were they thinking ?

**tetsujin1979** · 18/05/2006, 10:30 AM

That this whole thing is a mockery of a competition, let's just take the p!ss out of it?

**Jerry The Saint** · 18/05/2006, 10:44 AM

They just look evil - the UK entry is actually the work of Satan himself.

**Dodge** · 18/05/2006, 11:10 AM

it usually is.

Good on the Finns

**paul_oshea** · 18/05/2006, 11:29 AM

black metal and the likes are huge in finland, apart from trees its their biggest export!!!

but seriouslly they love this sort of stuff in finland.

**pete** · 18/05/2006, 11:41 AM

If i was bothered to vote i'd vote for them just for the laugh.

Came across UK entry the other night on BBC. I thought it was a p!ss-take.

**dahamsta** · 18/05/2006, 12:08 PM

The UK entry is actually just a tad creepy, with a light sprinkling of paedo.

**anto1208** · 18/05/2006, 12:14 PM

He looks like the 30 year old factory worker that still dates 15 year old girls.
every town has one , drives around in a done up car with the windows down and some cheesy dance crap blaring out of the stereo even in the freezing winter !!

**Risteard** · 18/05/2006, 12:40 PM

Ha.
Brilliant.
Finland are guaranteed to win.
Are they in the semi tonight?
I love the Eurovision - fierce entertaining.

I would say more than a sprinkling. Who actually choose that entry?

**Roo69** · 18/05/2006, 1:29 PM

The public vote AFAIK........

I'm not a fan by any means but heard the Belgium song the other day and as far as this type of stuff goes it's not actually that bad !
