Eurovision Song Contest

[Nimbus]

I stopped taking the Eurovision seriously when Ireland entered a literal Turkey...

 

[Cabisco]

Bill Bailey and Michael McIntyre presenting it would be orgasmic.

Whilst that would indeed be a truely wonderful sight, I was thinking more of Bill Bailey doing something in the Style of Kraftwerk, a la this:


Admit the awesome of this. Also, I want one of those awesome stick things that some people put on guitars

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Stopped watching it after Terry left. What's the point if it isn't funny?

Yeah, much as I used to love it, with Terry's leaving and the Baltic states engaged in a free for all, the fun's gone.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

It's a disastrous contest that I absolutely despise and despised ever since we've sent Dima Bilan... twice... and the bastard won the second time.
This contest is full of shit.

 

[HuntrRose]

Full of shit and can only be enjoyed with copious amounts of booze! Only decent song there EVER was Lordi.

 

[Snor]

i'm dutch what do you think? last time we send 3 gay dudes in sparkly outfits...with we we mean the channel that has television rights. now we send shalalie shalalala or something.

on the plus side nobody important ever watches it

 

[CakeDragon]

Alestorm did a cover to that song

This has actually just made my day.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Most of the music there is trashy and that noone will remember a year from now...

Yeah, I mean no-one remembers these people:
or
or
or
Although
IT'S A TRAP!

I meant the current eurovision, the only song I remember from last year is this


And that's because it was incredibly ridiculous.

 

[NeedAUserName]

I've never watched it, don't ever plan to. As far as I can tell, theres a lot of political pressure behind voting, and the UK always does spectacularly bad (not that I'm bitter, we deserve it).

Ah, fair enough. But people aren't getting what it's really about: the show. You will start off desperately apathetic about the whole thing, but by the end you should be drunk and screaming at Croatia to give Britain a bloody point.

THAT'S what it's all about. The singers/songs are second place to the spectacle. That's why try to make it "realistic" (There's that word again), have just made it dull.

Bring back Sir Terry and Boom-Banga-Bang!

There is no better show to get hammered with friends.

Edit: I'm really trying to think of an American equivalent, and I think the closest you'd get is if WWE had a Royal Rumble with a wrestler from each of the States.

It's just a silly competition and that's why I am not interested, I know it's all about the show but man the music sucks!

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Haven't watched it in 4 years and probably won't watch it this year as well. It's not that interesting and the songs aren't that great. Also I have exams so I really should be studying instead of watching shows and procrastinating in FRONT OF MY PC ALL DAY! AGGHGHGH!

I know it's a difficult to get, but that's the point. If the show was any good, it wouldn't be half as funny.

This year, get a crate of Stella's. Invite some friends over, order pizza and make sure you've finished the first can before the show starts. You'll see it in a whole new light.

 

[Cabisco]

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.

I like to think it's evidence of why you don't fuck with europe. Look what we are willing to do to ourselves, do you really want to go to war with that? Clearly us europeans are a mental bunch.

Mhmhm I think I have better things to do ;D

Fair enough, but still order the beer and pizza

Quoted for great truth. Eurovision is pretty much perfect as the basis for drinking games. For example, one that's virtually guaranteed to get you thoroughly wasted: http://bit.ly/2lTNnE

Haven't done that for a while, actually.

Well at least if This Years entry fails he could allways just join the Sugababes!
