fantapantsprice Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 It's all down to politics anyway let's face it, England,France,Germany and Spain always come in last but still get to go through, Ireland don't even qualify anymore and Russia/Sweden/Norway etc always vote for each other. Yet I still watch it:teehee::teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I still watch it:teehee::teehee: Absolutely, and I don't mind it this year actually... Our entry sucked, so I don't care that we didn't qualify It's a different story though when you know you have a good song and still it ends last or something. But that being said, I love watching it... Guilty pleasure idd:aah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kata Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Don't know if the juries are gonna make any kind of difference to the result Personally don't really think so, have a feeling the juries will also just vote for the nearest neighbour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantapantsprice Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yup it's all about the neighbours isn't it! although I have to say Ireland are very bad for voting for England which I find a bit embarrassing coz England are always quite generous to us.. Our entry is crap this year, I haven't heard the English one yet are they on tomorrow night too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well I watched the Semi last night and it was just so poor...I hope the second Semi is better. They say it will be. I swore I would never watch Eurovision if Terry Wogan stopped commentating...but like a moth to a flame I will be there on Saturday night glued to it, as every year. What was that ATROCIOUS thing last night though, with all the squealing and wailing in it...and a bloke in a cape? I forget which country it was, but mercifully, it didn't make it to the Final....I almost had nightmares about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I listened to about 20secs into each contestant ( the countries I was interested in, anyway) and they are all just so fake, I didn't like any of them. ... unlike the French guy last year.

Remember when Eurovision was quite good?..like in 2000 *coughlatvia* Well at least it's awesomely bad, I quite prefer that over those that are just plain bad like Malta this year Yeah I remember It has never quite reached that standard since I do really like a couple of songs every year still though, i have rather poor taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
