Eurovision 2010.

Semi Final 1 is starting in a couple of minutes.

I know we aren't on tonight, but is anyone watching?

ohthebaby

I am!

Not liking this whole three presenter thing. Hope they're not together all night and just let one of them feck off...

ohthebaby

Oh no... Violins. After last year's winner there's going to be lots of them. I hate copycat acts.

Busi_Girl08

Yay! The fake sax playing is back!!

Is it just me or does this guy look like a blond Peter Serafinowicz?

soccymonster

I am

Not likin' this moldova song very much...

Busi_Girl08

They actually picked this guy off Youtube, and asked him to write a song.

shinny

Dear lord, this Russia song is awful.

Why aren't we allowed to vote tonight? Seems a bit unfair!

Busi_Girl08

Um, that's a drawing, not a photo.

Not nitpicking or anything, but an actual photo may have been a bit more poetic there...

ohthebaby

Talk about miserable...

Also; hi soccy, good to see you here!

soccymonster

Ah it's craaap! :P

lol @ the air blowing back his hair attempting to be dramatic.

But as per usual, Russia have many neighbours who'll vote...

Oh hey ohthebaby

Tonight is just the judges (I think) and maybe the Big 4 aswell, then Thursday it's everyone.

They just started it like that last year, I suppose to combat block voting.

ohthebaby

Ha ha ryan tubridy! Oh how I love you marty!

anniehoo

:eek: I lasted 5 mins..cant-watch-anymore!!!!!!!!!

Busi_Girl08

Oh lord... It's like some weird Kasabian video.

What did the piano ever do to him?!

I think it's phone votes from the countries in this semi final tonight combined with their judges. I think the big 4 can vote too.

Ah ok, because I thought it was just the countries performing tonight. Why did your one say to vote. Seems like a big mistake to make if it's just the judges.

I agree, that is a lot fairer!

Cant! Dire,cant believe this shiiiite is still on. Goin to hoover and/or clean the bathroom (much more fun)

soccymonster

The whole vernacular language thing kinda pisses me off but my head is bopping to this one :P

ohthebaby

They could have done without the one in white wailing.

Busi_Girl08

It's easy on the ears, alright.

Best so far.

CuppaCocoa

Shades of 'rasputin' there!

ohthebaby

I like how we get to see them live onstage before the performance!

soccymonster

Accordian!! They win me over already... :P

And it's kinda catchy!

ohthebaby

This Is a bit too like Fairytale for my liking...

BBC says that UK can't vote tonight.

Can't believe I'm watching this when I could be doing something really exciting like washing the windows.

Busi_Girl08

I could do with the slightly pervy looking guy on the right.

It's a catchy song though.

I miss "metal Finland" though

Did you see the show about him before this?! I missed it.

Edit: he'll be performing at the start of Saturday's show!

shinny

Ouch, so many bung notes it's not funny. And what's with the silky dressing gown!?

That's freaky weird. It's almost as if large parts of Europe don't like the UK.

Impending strip tease?!

No!:(
Was it on RTE? Please say it was, RTE player ftw!

And, is this girl going off pitch on purpose?

CuppaCocoa

Ouch! Pity. Sounds good on the cd.

It was a bit, meh, to be honest.

Just him going around Europe, crooning and talking about his insecurities.

Then he pissed off Derek Mooney when he said Ireland was in Great Britain

This girl, she's not that good, is she?

Yeah it was on RTE 2. Hope it's on player!

That last song would have been good if she wasn't so off.

Oh god who cut his hair.

ohthebaby

Omg is this a girl or boy.

soccymonster

People like him have ruined the Eurovision.....
*sigh*

rebel10

what the hell is gong on? Scaring me!

Funky Kingston

what the hell IS THAT singing for Serbia ?:D

I love you Eurovision haha

Busi_Girl08

Oh look! It's Serbia's Gok Wan!

ohthebaby

Omg think of Molitva a few years ago... This is a disgrace.

shinny

Surely those funny bits in the middle are not considered live! Hmm!

CorsetIsTight

Is it just me, or is a lot of the dancing the cringemaking sort that as a teenager you hoped to God you weren't doing....?

ohthebaby

This is ok.

soccymonster

His accent is cool :P

"Only an-gyerr."
