Eurovision!
 

The horrors of tonights eurovision and your own countrys entry, discuss!

ha. well we wont win. everyone hates Blair. i haven't even bothered watching it.

Yeah it's so funny, but they have a damn good reason not too vote for us, we have a cr@p performer and uh the war.Last time I checked we were actually doing ok, on something like..18 points? Ah, there's a country with the funniest performance i've ever seen just so much to say, i just sat there with micheal (friend) completly silent thinking omfg looking at some trannys in silver catsuits

It`s just a bunch of small crap little insignificant countries voting for each other these days

Yeah, and it has nothing to do with the music...just, well polotics and popularity, and you can hardly call whats on there music.

It really is all politics, countries that are next to the other vote for the other. Ireland probably only gave us that many points this year because they weren't in the competition, but dammit it's so fascinating to see all the craziness..

It can`t be a coincidence that Spain France Germany & the UK came bottom.

Well I can understand France , that was bloody awful.

lmao

haha well Romania was thrid woohoo
(though their song sucked in my opinion)

hmm...i didn't watch any of it. Its quite funny that our (UK) entrant has a record deal and failed badly.

i find it funny that every year when the UK representatives go through a national competition to see who will be our entry, the winner is always full of confidence, giving us promises of victory- despite the fact 99.9% of the population knows their talking bull****. the UK isnt exactly the most popular of european countries. lets join the euro- then we'll win.

Plus if we get the euro we'll hopefully have those UKIP f@gs out of the way and i won't have to keep changing my money every time I go to Dublin or different countries.

i was joking. if we adopt the euro i may emigrate to australia. handing over our british heritage and history to men in suites sitting in brussels. no thankyou.

:confused: We won't lose all of our heritage just because we change our pound coins

I'd hate to have the euro...im bad at maths so i'd probably end up spending too much money on something and getting ripped off. also, then theres no fun of going to another country and using different money, and i think i'd just prefer to stick to my pounds and pence. but yeah...hmm....no point in changing currency just to get a higher place in the eurovision song contest, i mean, do we really want it in England?

Britain is the model for Europe and has been for 1000 years. We don't need the rest of Europe and never have. We don't need others meddling in our affairs. To join the EU would be to lose our identity and traditions. we have one of the most successful economies in the world so why change it? the next step from joining the euro would be joining the EU constitution- handing over most of our affairs and heritage to federates in brussells. anyway, back to the topic. who won last night?!

Yeah, that would be the funniest thing if we did have Eurovision over here! Ah i wouldn't argue with anyone over the euro it's not like I can vote for or against it.

I think it was..Greece?

hmm....yeah, okay we are against the euro, and i cant vote against it either...im too young. Oh yeah, i think my brother told me it was Greece....

buddy, i think you forget that you ARE in the EU , you're just not in the EMU ( european monetary union ), and you also forget that you're economy would not be as developed as it is ,if you didn't have free trade with the rest of the EU ( the structure of this sentence seems a bit off...ah well, you know what i mean )
back to eurovision, i must confess, i avoided it almost successfully, but i accidentally turned it on while norway was on , and was traumatized thoroughly...i don't even know how croatia did...and it is very political these days...but most neighbors vote for themselves because they simply relate to their songs more ( for example the nordic countries always vote for themselves, and so do the ex-yugoslav countries, mainly because we understand the language...i personally wouldn't vote like that, but then again, i wouldn't vote at all, because 99 percent of the songs are pure sh.it, composed according to a pattern that will supposedly guarantee the victory..)

Ok let's not get all serious! But anyway Norway was the funniest and most disturbing one in my opinion, i think it was called wig wam and featured a transvestite lead singer? How did Croatia do

i have no idea how croatia did...i think the competition would be better if there was no televoting...cause most people's taste in music is sh.it, the songs should be chosen by a panel of experts, both on the national level and in the eurovision itself...eurovision should be a contest of the best songs produced in a country that year...i know a lot of great croatian songs that get published during the year and not on the national contest...the people who apply for the national contest are total losers to whom winning it and appearing on the eurovision contest is the highlight of their career...the really talented musicians think it's a joke...

As said by terry wogan
"the 4 major western countries: 4th from last, 3rd from last, 2nd from last & last place..........(coughs)"

Most people's taste in music is sh*t... How is that even possible? A taste in music is a taste in music, how can one be better than the other! Doesnt even make sense, its an opinion...

yea its actually impossible to have an expert on music...

No, you cant say that someone's opinion on music is better than someone elses. You can say someone has more knowledge and expertise on music, but not a better taste in music.

that's very PC of you...i base my opinion on the quality of the eurovision contest...we all agree it's total sh.it right? well those songs are chosen by the majority of people in the countries that participate in the eurovision contest.since the songs that the majority of people choose as being good are in fact sh.it, i say their taste in music is sh.it...in my opinion..

This is the kind of people that vote in eurovision's taste in music

The whole fun of Eurovision IS that it is crap.

I`d much rather spend 5 mins laughing at that Norwegian Darkness tribute band than spending the same amount of time listening to Chris Martin`s latest snorefest.

Hee, you saw the catsuit prancing too?

sorry, didn't understand this...

I'm saying that this isn't the majority's opinion of music, it's people that watch, spend money and possibly enjoy the performances

Are you kidding , i`ve been doing it myself all day ;)

oh, point taken...

we study this in spanish all the time - i really appreciate your knowledge on the subject. I understand what you are putting wholeheartedly. At this paris conference we visited people kept talking about "england joining the EU", it took a teacher to say to a supposedly educated MP that we ARE part of the EU, we just dont share the currency.

for some reason I LIKE YOUR POST!! good job there :thumb:
