Eurovision 2012

[philsussex]

Don't we usually have a sweepstake thingy on here?

Some shockers made it through the first semi final tonight and some good ones fell by the wayside.

Second semi on Thursday then the big event on Saturday.

I bet you're all captivated by it........

 

[Falkor]

Greece won't get a point, if they can afford to send someone

 

[Djmiles]

Denmark is my favourite song, with a nice young woman singing it. Should do well!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Is that rubbish still going on. Blimey - who watches this crap.

 

[chucky1973]

frustrates me so much, why o why do we enter it, not a cats f***ing hells chance of winning even if westlife, take that, boyzone got together and did a song, its fixed before its even begun, its so bolloxs its un true. Bring em home I say and let others rot.

"and now we have the vote from Greece and the 10 points go to Cyprus""
"and now we have the vote from Portugal and the 10 points go to Spain""
"and now we have the vote from Sweden and the 10 points go to Norway""


Fcuk off.

It's become a sort of pantomime where it's obvious who is gonna I've points to who and I just find it so funny people watch it thinking we have a chance and get angered when we don't get any points for anyone, the whole competition is fixed, and corrupt.....bit like sepp blatter

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

I'll watch it just to see how ridiculous Jedward have become - it's like car crash television..........

Yes it's a parody of a competition (so was It's a Knockout and Jeux sans Frontiers in the '70's), but funny as hell nevertheless.

Just don't take it too seriously everyone.

 

[Djmiles]

The best song has won it every time since they changed the rules. People who don't know that clearly aren't interested in Eurovision. I enjoy it and it's a competition that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This.

But when Wogan hosted it at least he took the piss out of the voting and made it semi watchable.

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Englebert Humperdink is the UK's answer to David Hasselhof, musically speaking, with a fair slice of Manilow thrown in for good measure - or at least that's my take on him.

Actually he's far more credible than Hasslehof, more like a UK Bing Crosby really.

and now we have the vote from Ireland and the 3 points go to The UK

 

[SK1NT]

Greece is my fave so far...

Worth watching for just the girls...

 

[philsussex]

Scorecards at the ready people.

It's semi final part two tonight!

 

[Badger]

Still, at least it's in Europe.......

 

[Trigger]

Unwatchable with that IDIOT Norton doing it, I used to love it when Wogan hosted it but this guy is UTTER SHIT.

 

[Frutos]

It can't be taken seriously from a musical standpoint (or any other standpoint, to be honest) but it's a good, harmless laugh if watched in the right spirit.

 

[NickBHAFC18]

The Eurovision is shocking...

 

[Frutos]

The Eurovision is shocking...

In what sense are you shocked by it?

 

[NickBHAFC18]

In what sense are you shocked by it?

Wish I could say shocking from a "wow that was amazing, truly talented" point of view...but quite the opposite. Do they deliberately choose the least talented people to represent each European country?
