Eurovision!!!!!!

[Catrione]

The Eurovision semi finals are on NOW on BBC3. Please please please vote for Ireland by phoning 0901 121 3108.
I love the Eurovision!!! Does anyone else like it or is anyone else watching? British entry is actually alright this year, but surprisingly they all seem pretty good this year

 

[Catrione]

[Shunt]

i always watch it!! maybe i'm just werid but i quite like it, but having watched it about 3 years in a row i can deffenatly see a few voting trends like certain countries always voting good for others


maybe this year we will get a few more points... whos singing for UK?

I think the UK song is a lot better than it has been in a long time.

It's certainly something a little different and I hope he does well. Unfortunately though I have this terrible feeling that the whole political issue will affect the way the vote goes. Politically we are still a very unpopular nation and I'm not sure the rest of Europe is quite ready to let us win this competition just yet.

My wife and her friends (all teachers) are getting together and watching it. They each pick a country out of hat and then bring food that represents that country to the house

only withing the contest - if it wasnt for politics i think it would have got higher.

However you just know Finland would win hands down.


Me and my sister both liked the Finland one and that one where those men sang we're going to win. I voted them, she voted Finland.

popularity contest!!

 

[kurabrhm]

i di dnt bother watching it this year. its hogwash anyway. very strange that a heavy metal band won though. perhaps even stranger that a Scandinavian country won!! normally, some cheesy pop wannabe's are the winners, but not this year. somebody explain to the world why oh why israel could be considered for Eurovision!!!! Isn't Israel supposed to be a part of the Middle East (Asia)???

It seems Finland's gamble paid off in spectacularly hilarious fashion.
