inb4 Americans not getting it.
Eurovision in Britain is a joke. No-one takes it seriously, which sucks, but at least the other countries usually have some pretty listenable songs.
Except for Lordi. God, they were awful.

Wait... so government over there actually supports an American idolesque show? I guess you guys are closer to call in votes for elected officals then us. Bravo
Edit: ok read the rest of the wiki article but still thats crazy i would have never though something like that existed

my point is they can't've been that bad as they DID win, and thank God we finally got a decent musical style in Eurovision.xHipaboo420x said:
To me, they were that bad. Braindead 'rawk en rooll' isn't really my bag, but the kids seem to like it.Loop Stricken said:

YAY. Iceland got through the semi finals. I like their song this year, the one last year was good too.
I liked Lordi ^_^ and the Finnish entry for the year after them too.
I hate the acts we always send to Eurovision (UK), they are always untalented people with a cheesy song. This kid this year has a terrible song

Still it's good the UK don't have to do the semi finals since we get a place in the final regardless with the other top 4 contributors, and the last years winning country.
Does anyone have a Eurovision Party?

Its Eurovision already? wow, time flies.
I used to watch every year, or at least have it on in the background, because Terry Wogan is a Dude, but Graham Norton just gets on my nerves.

The dude left because we lost and he got incredibly bitchy about it on air. Seriously, we deserved to lose in 2008, we had a pretty shocking entry.RMcD94 said:
I don't think Terry made it good at all. The guy was an ass. The contestants are what make it funny, in a morbidly tragic way.
It as a testament to how Europe can be at it's worst, but with music. Think of it as a cultural and musical World War 1, where every nation in Europe attempts to outdo the other in bad decisions and utter crapness and woe.BlindMessiah94 said:

or (skip forward to 1:00 for the lesson in why you should blame Iceland for more than just volcanoes)...
Don't let those vids fool you, it can be really bad sometimes.
Why thank you for deafening me.cuddly_tomato said:
OT: I treat Eurovision as a joke, because Britain is so bad at it...
Calumon: Italy makes the best music anyway.
Jack: Although not a Eurovision song, it is pretty damn awesome.
Eurovision song contest? IMO none of the acts appearing have anything to do with musical talent, so no I don't watch it (only Ireland usually has some decent acts, go Ireland!). It's always Eastern European countries voting for eachother anyway, so it isn't even a fair contest. Why the Netherlands (my country) even stoops down to join it, I'll never know. They usually don't get through the preliminary rounds anyways...
As I said, it is just like World War 1. Winning isn't what matters, it is taking part in the destruction and chaos (of music) that counts.zala-taichou said:
