What is this stuff
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
Re: eurovision
Eurovision? *sighs*
It's all good and all, but I find that voters only go for those singers that have good looks rather than those bands that have a good, well written song. Also, the kids version of it is always won by the girl-bands, and mainly those under 12. Which makes you suspicious.
I remember a Belgium (I think it was Belgium) rock band that had a very good song, but they finished almost in last place.

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.

Re: eurovision
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

Re: eurovision
Is that for real?
Still prefer 'My lovely horse'.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: eurovision
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.

Re: eurovision
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

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!

No Bailey, alas. Methinks he's in the land of Oz, touring.
These are the cretins to pick from.

When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

Re: eurovision
Aren't they from eurosong for kids?
Re: eurovision
Yes, they are. Raz was talking about eurosong for kids.
"Also, the kids version of it.."
Re: eurovision
Behold, and brace yourselves, for here comes Finland's entry for ESC08: Teräsbetoni - Missä miehet ratsastaa
(I'll be the first to admit that the band has much better songs besides that one, but it's still a good one considering the alternatives we had)
Re: eurovision
Well, considering it's Eurovision, that's not exactly terrible.
Re: eurovision
My mistake, missed that part
