I'm surprised Ben didn't already make this thread. Finland won't win again, btw. Lordi were a novelty.

I reckon Ben's too busy watching it with his head taped to the TV.

I am. Lol. Pirates.
Be interesting to see what they make of our song, as its pretty obvious its good compared to the rest. Whether they can overcome their bias though is another story.

I suspect we'll get less than 10 points. We won't get nul though

Of course, in an ideal world we'd have been able to watch the British Empire Song Contest.

Wait? I missed pirates?! Don't get excited Mambo, it was pretty childish. Go to youtube and search for 'wolves of the sea,' you'll see what I mean.

Ahh.. Well we will probably get minimal points, considering firstly everyone votes for their neighbours and secondly our song was kinda rubbish! I think if the other girl probably would have done better, her song was Eurovision to the core! XD Also, how crap is it that they mostly sing in English these days?

I cant stand Eurovision. I know, hate me if you want, but those pricks down at London TV Studios had to put this [censored] on instead of Doctor Who at Wales.

I honestly think that the only reason we bother entering is so that people get to play drink along with Wogan. I don't get to play this year though because I have an exam on tuesday and can't afford to be out of action tomorrow. I watched Batman Begins with a flatmate instead, and only just switched over. It really is a joke.

Wogan is the only reason why I watch it! And for some odd reason, he's unusually sober this time! I'm sorta disappointed!

He did just hit the nail on the head though - 'this is just not a music contest'.
Also, the Russian seemed like a complete c**k when he won.

The Russian song is a pile of [censored]. T_T
There were plenty other songs better.

Meh, it had a gimmick I guess. That [censored] skating around and he ripped his shirt half off.

I didn't mind Russia, but I really wanted Azerbaijan to win, mainly because of the WTF factor. And as Eurovision threads normally go in the Eldorado Zone, I'll move it there. Other entries I liked: Turkey (the indie band), Latvia (aaarrrr me mateys, why is the rum gone, etc.), Croatia (complete with old geezer scratching with a gramophone), Finland (very Spinal Tap), Bosnia (which was even madder than Azerbaijan). And Ben's not going to be happy, Isis Gee (the Polish lass) got her arse kicked. I thought she was pretty dull, to be honest.

Out of the countries that made it to the final, those that I wanted to win were: Iceland, Azerbaijan, Israel, and I wanted the UK to be within at least the top 10; those countries mostly because I thought they were pretty good quality, and kind of interesting/dynamic, also the people who were performing these songs seemed generally alright people.
I think overall, the double-semi-final approach helped somewhat but I think more work in terms of how the event is processed should be considered. I don't think Russia's song was really deserving of the win, and I think the voting tonight was blatantly political - I think Dima Bilan's has a good singing ability, but as a person he's a [censored] with an annoying attitude and I think the performance wasn't too great either.
I think Andy deserved a lot more than what he got, it wouldn't surprise me if one of the Big Four removed themselves from the contest this year.
