Eurovision 2010

[Katsuya]

...guys...the Lithuanian entry this year is even better than We Are the Winners...you seriously have to watch it...

[GoGo Yubari]

Nah. Pretty funny but it feels like it's trying really hard, whereas We Are The Winners had this glorious "we're not even trying" feel to it.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Still if our fella does get nil points he should be able to find himself a job hosting a boot fair show on morning TV.

You can tell it's a Waterman/Stock/+1 other song. Insipid really and like watered down Rick Astley era.

His voice ain't strong enough, there's no big hook, the music is just kinda there in the background but his voice is just kinda there in the foreground.

I still like to believe that if we actually WANTED to win it then we could but I'm starting to feel uncertain about that these days...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Just heard Sweden's....That was legitimately good, no idea how it didn't make it through.

I think my favourite Eurovision song was Denmarks in 2006

Actually 2006 had alot of awesome songs.

EDIT: listening through this years songs, I am in love with Albania's entry

Norton: "Do you think the French ever get sick of the Eiffel Tower? Don't they have anything else?"

...Moments, mere moments after Big Ben was shown on the screen.

Let the annual clusterfuck commence.

[TCO]

This Azerbaijan girl is pretty hot, no wonder she's favourite.

It seems we're actually in with a shout this year 7th favourite on Paddy Power. I don't know why, Niamh Kavanagh is pretty shit now really, still bit of a MILF though.

GO IRELAND!

[Katsuya]

Eh. I don't really like it, if it wins it's from sheer "well we kind of have to give it to them for how much they spent" value and not much else.

[Adam]

Why are you allowed to vote from the start now? Seems a bit stupid to me that.

[stokeriño]

What I'm wondering is whether people can vote for countries that haven't performed yet...

[Katsuya]

...what the fuck? Did some randomer just run on the stage? I'm confused...

[therockbox]

I missed the fitty

[TCO]

Why are you allowed to vote from the start now? Seems a bit stupid to me that.

I don't know maybe more time = more votes = more revenue or perhaps they're trying to influence the vote with the order, obviously the earlier acts will get more viewereship, which explains why the favoruite went first.

I honestly don't know why we don't just put in My Lovely Horse as our entry for the laugh. I mean it couldn't be worse than Dustin and I bet people would love it.

[Katsuya]

This Norwegian guy is singing worse than Jemini did. That says something. The irony of all this is the fact that Azerbaijan is currently my favourite on virtue of sucking the least.

1 - Azerbaijan

2 - Spain

3 - Norway

[stokeriño]

Shame Stokerina's just gone out (she'll be back in half an hour or so). She loves ridiculous power ballads and/or being amused by bad singing - I'll probably have to replay that Norway one for her later.

"Could they do it two years in a row?" asks Norton. Like they'd even want to...

[stokeriño]

This Moldova song is pure win...for all the wrong reasons.

[therockbox]

This is more like it. Less shite rape-ballads, more big gay sax please.

[Katsuya]

Good ol' cheesy Europop from Moldova. Crazy fiddler and sax players make it even better

[Adam]

That was the most 'eurovisiony' song yet...pretty hilarious. They should win it just for the guy with the saxophone.
