eurovision

Not to mention that its very political. Since all the new eastern european nations began entering it, hardly any western european songs do well. I think last year in the top 12 (out of 24) only Germany? made it (and they were 11th!). So long as England/UK don't get nul point again its all good.

AHHHHHHHH! No please save me from the aweful music.

The irish entry is great!
Really fits the contest very well.

Two minor things I didn't like about the icelandic entry:
1. It's too dark, I want to see more of them girls' nice hairstyles
2. there's this annoying music

Where would we be without the idealistic Eurocentric mince, the nauseating
festivities; our collective cultural meltdown disguised by ear-bleedingly awful
madness? The foreign presenters who deserve a firing squad, the petty political
voting over appreciation of music - where else would we be without this terrible
musical addition, to good old backstabbing, that is Eurovision? Killing each other,
that's where!

I heard about the Irish entry some time ago, listening to my radio in stunned
disbelief.

Because some bright spark came up with a drinking game "drink with every cheesy key change" Since then Eurovision has become exceptionally popular.

I hate how political it is too.

The Ireland song is about as bad a song can be. They [i]really[i] don't want to host it again do they

Hey! There's aboslutely nothing wrong with HTF!!

(Well okay, there's actually a *lot* wrong with it, but that's besides the point. It's still highly entertaining.

I mentioned HTF since I somehow found a link to it from the Eurovision video. I felt much, much better after watching HTF.

Has anyone else heard that Bill Bailey is putting himself forward for the British nomination? I really hope so, because whatever he does would be absolutely hilarious and fantastic!
