Eurovision

[Rainbowjuice]

I'm from the UK and since i'm in work tonight I wont be attending my SO's Eurovision party as I usually do.
Oh well at least I wont have to watch us get no points thanks to all the political voting!

YAY!

[Vintergatan]

haha yeah I find it really funny that the more ex-Yugoslav countries keep falling apart, the better they do in eurovision, lol.
However to be perfectly honest, I consider the UK the country with most music talent in the world, however I never like anyone that represents UK in eurovision

[Rainbowjuice]

That's because they keep putting all the poop acts on.
I'm telling you, send Take That then we'll see what happens.

I'm a little gutted I can't stay home tonight and get intoxicated watching poor music :p

[Vintergatan]

haha yeah, exactly! I mean, I hate pop but at least UK does have good pop


Edit: thanks for merging, i guess i missed the original topic ^^


Btw, as I see we have a lot of Montenegrin song fans (lol) I have the need to say that the guy singing that gawd aweful song is actually a very famous comedian throughout ex-Yu and has been making songs like that since I was a kid. Apparently he lives near my home in Belgrade (lucky me).


Needless to say I´m very grateful that he didn't get to the finals.

Yes, please send Take That next year <3

Russia now!

And yes, cheer for Sweden!!!

Bah, Eurovision. I don't even know why people bother with it anymore. Very rarely there are songs worth of even going there. All the songs that I recall from the previous years are either pop and sound the same or are falling into the ridicule because they are taken too lightly and loosely. Personally, I think it's only a way to vote on the neighboring country so that, if said country wins, people can go and watch the next Eurovision, just because it's nice and stuff.

Honestly, specially the portuguese songs (my country) are always, always SO BAD to the point of me knowing from the start that we won't ever win (specially considering all the votes we ever get that do matter are the spanish ones because, well, we are next to them lol). Nowadays, I find Eurovision to be just a very cheap way to entertain people and to give a false patriotic feeling (at least, in the case of Portugal).

I haven't watched it since last year and I don't miss it one bit lol.

Also, I don't want to insult anyone in any way, it's just my opinion

[Vintergatan]

Well, I don'T really know why I always watch it, but I just feel compelled to. I guess I watch it sarcastically? (lol, what a lame excuse ^^).

I always cheer for Portugal though and I think that compared to most, Portuguese songs are actually not that bad Or maybe I´m again just biased as I consider Portugal my second home ^^ too bad they never do well

Ah, don't worry, portuguese people never believe their song will win anyway (as they never believe they are any good at anything, pfffffff...)

Second home ? :o Why is that ? I am so curious now !

[Vintergatan]

That's so not true! I think Portuguese people are very musically talented At least, most women I´ve heard sing have a beautiful and powerful voice ^^ (imo of course)

I´ve spent almost all my childhood summers in Portugal as my uncle lived there for many many years. I also spent 6 months there during the bombing of '99 and was even about to move there (though chose to go back to Serbia after all) I just have very fond memories of Portugal and my lovely little cousin (my uncle's daughter) is half portuguese and lives there. I get very nostalgic every time I hear portuguese which is I guess why I usually like portuguese songs in eurovision

[ladyfenrir]

I voted for sweden and the uk, and also tossed a vote to denmark and russia (I love those cute grannies!).

iceland's song this year is just... it's awful, but it's better than most of the other songs, so I'm guessing it'll make it to top 5. :3 the albanian song (or rather, the albanian screaming and screeching) made my ears bleed. HORRIBLE.

This ^^ I had to go vacuum my dining room while she was singing, I couldn't stand it!

[Vintergatan]

Lol, I´m with you on that one, and i´m loving the grannies. I also like Macedonian one and i´m kinda rooting for them to do well, they need something good to happen to  them for a change But yeah, I think Sweden it'll be and even though I don't like the song, I always cheer for Sverige so good luck!
