If you don't like Britney you probably won't like my favourite Eurovision song either so you're not losing out. It's a catchy pop song so if that's not the music you're into then let my sig be a warning not to waste your time listening to it

To be fair to Miss Britney she has had one or two great tunes hence why I gave your link 10 seconds (i,e toxic) but she is such a deranged and egotistical snotty face wench that I tend to steer clear.

I didn't want to take this thread off topic but if you think she's egotistical or deranged you've obviously never seen her interviews. She's one of the few extremely humble pop artists out there right now

Back to Eurovision, I never downloaded this but I really liked it at the time it was on TV:

Edit: Whoops just realised I linked the Swedish language version, here's the English language version performed at the ESC

I have no interest in getting into a slagging match with you about the pros and cons of Miss Spears cos I have zero interest in her as I'm sure you would in my idols. You crack on and love what ye love.

Now hows about The Kelly Family doing The Aristocrats eh??? :P

well, no but if you think the Kelly family playing up to some sort of Aristocracy as our eurovision entry is a feile in itself then no.

Geo10 · 26-02-2013 04:13AM

Greece's 2008 entry is one of my personal favourites. They came 2nd or 3rd AFAIR

i think you misinterpreted my post, try post#15 again and this time emphasise the first part of the quote.

*never good when you have to explain humour, back to sit on the toilet for some new material*

In recent years: Malena Erhlmann - La Voix (Sweden's 2009 entry)

Of all time: ABBA - Waterloo (1974)

Aud Wilken's Fra Mols Til Skagen for Denmark in 1995

Waterloo - ABBA

Love that tune

Niamh Kavanagh - In Your Eyes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chq_vv_2wl8

One of the best voices I've heard and a great performance

Webster29 · 26-02-2013 09:07AM

While I heart Niamh Kavanagh, and even liked her a bit the second time round, best song has to be Ruslana - Wild Dances. Fact of the day, Ruslana later took part in the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine and became a member of parliament.

Failing that, I thought Lena's second entry had a very Sophie Ellis Bexter vibe and I probably would have listened to it in real life.

One more, Sebastian Tellier, Divine

Didnt watch the 1994 Eurovision, but surely Riverdance must have completely overshadowed the contest itself?

If this was in English, it would've won in 2009.

Hank Scorpio · 26-02-2013 12:20PM

rock and roll kids and I am the voice are excellent songs

kupus · 26-02-2013 12:25PM

One of the greatest songs ever.

I heart EUROVISION

admiralofthefleet · 26-02-2013 12:38PM

rock n' roll kids was an incredible song, way too good for eurovision

Czarcasm · 26-02-2013 02:31PM

My two favorites of all time-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de0CDsZnvGg

Absolutely stunning looking girls, and I'll be honest- It's the only reason I sit through the other 30 odd shìte songs to see beauty like the above, although did anyone see this years Irish auditions?

One girl (found it, Kasey- "Kiss me there"), Christ almighty- looks and a body that was just made for advertising body stockings!

The songs not bad either I suppose.

EDIT: Seems upon further inspection investigation I was wrong, what's this about? Ireland's 2013 Eurovision entry-

Not that I'm complaining either mind! :pac:

What's your favourite Eurovision song?
