Eurovision Day

It's Eurovision Day. It will all kick off at 8pm, the 52nd Eurovision contest and it is being held in Helsinki (methinks)

Ireland song is likely to finish last

But isn't quite as bad as the UK's song

Ireland are on 4th, so the pain will be over quickly!

Have a good night.

Ukraine are favourites at the mo.

I just saw that there are 42 countries competing for this. Since when did Europe consist of 42 countries? We should just have the eastern european countries competing as a single block nation. Deeply disrespectful I know but the thing has become unwatchable since their inclusion.

was waiting for this topic to be made:D

Some of the Semi-Finalists were so bad they were great:o

so is the official discussion thread for those of us who have accepted that youth has escaped us, and dont feel guilty about spending a sat night in front of it?

I'm watching with Terry Wogan taking the piss as usual. Eurovision is not the same without his commentary imho

monkeyfudge · 12-05-2007 08:07PM

Yep.. we normally do it in the TV forum...

But Eurovision has broad appeal so why not!

Get ready for the day of Rockening!

zuutroy · 12-05-2007 08:08PM

Right so: Tell me this....Whelan or Wogan?

monkeyfudge · 12-05-2007 08:09PM

If Bosnia doesn't win the backing singers can always get jobs as mannequins in a shop window.

OctavarIan · 12-05-2007 08:10PM

Which eastern European country will win? Can't wait to find out :rolleyes:

And I hear that there are a load of rock acts this year, tell me, are they all just for-show bands like Lordi or do they play decent tunes?

I'm going with wogan this year... mainly because the picture and sound quality on BBC is better than RTE.

They also have a karaoke feature on digital interactive if you want to sing along.

tSubh Dearg · 12-05-2007 08:14PM

ooh the Spanish boys had a dodgy key change there

Ruu_Old · 12-05-2007 08:18PM

oh man... they're just short some hay and pigs on the stage for ireland.

fade2black · 12-05-2007 08:21PM

We should probably have chosen a lady who can sing. Just a thought.

Pigman II · 12-05-2007 08:21PM

Wow. That Ireland entry is painful. Has yer woman got a nasal infection or something?

nesf · 12-05-2007 08:21PM

Am watching Dervish now. I think someone should tell them that flower power died in the 60's.

BrokenArrows · 12-05-2007 08:22PM

This Finland chick is intense.

tSubh Dearg · 12-05-2007 08:25PM

She was woeful. As for her nasal "Sean Nos"-esque singing, so tuneful!

Pigman II · 12-05-2007 08:25PM

Finlands entry even has clearer English in it than our song.

billy the squid · 12-05-2007 08:26PM
