sariflor Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I can't believe how much eurovision has chanced since when I was a child/teen. It used to be the highlight of my year, we'd get together at friends' houses to watch it, and then we'd obsess over the winners for like 6 months. I still remember that Irish guy, Johny Logan, with his 'Hold me now' song which I absolutely adooooored and some Swedish trio of cute boys called The Herrey's all dressed in white pants, pastel tops and golden shoes:roftl:, singing something called "Diggi loo Diggi ley" or something of the sorts. Goodness, I must have been 13 at the time and I had their picture on my wall for months after that!! Actually let me see if I can find them....brb.. :shocked: OMG I found them! THIS IS HORRIFIC!!! Shows you that when you're a hormone fuelled 13 year old you just have absolutely no clue about anything Goodness, I could have not found a better thing to use for my 8K post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you that when you're a hormone fuelled 13 year old you just have absolutely no clue about anything Goodness, I could have not found a better thing to use for my 8K post They were extremely popular in Sweden too of course! Sadly enough I was a little too old to "get them"! Nowadays one of the brothers, I think it's Richard Herrey, has a children's clothes shop, nice clothes but expensive, very "American stylish"! You can see him in there from time to time. Good way to use your 8k post imo, just symbolises the usual chattering we all do in here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Where did you watch it' date=' I want it too! [/quote']You can re-watch it all here http://www.eurovision.tv/esctv?program=2575 Niiiceeeee! That's 3 of us already!Party! Yes, we're gonna have an MFC camp! Well the comment from Sakis about Kirkorov publicly supporting him since he came out (or sth to that extend was absolutely priceless I was like: Why is nobody laughing? I was almost rolling on the floor Well someone posted it on a forum, didn't check if it's true. There's a rumour that Spain gave 12 to Norway btw, I like that rumour more Well, that's a nice rumour indeed! Tonight's the night! YESSSS! *can't wait* I can't believe how much eurovision has chanced since when I was a child/teen.

Goodness, I must have been 13 at the time and I had their picture on my wall for months after that!! Actually let me see if I can find them....brb.. lol, I actually saw a best-of-eurovision some days ago and the guys with the golden shoes were a part of it, too! Well, my experience from when I was 12/13 (the first ESC I actually remeber), in 1998, was of course the big hype in Germany about the German entry; Guildo Horn. I don't really know how this hype came about, but after that everyone was obsessed with "Nussecken und Himbeereis" I did actually rank quite well in the overall ranking Gosh, and of course in 2000 when Stefan Raab, one of Germany's most popular comedians participated singing in a strange language hehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8ERAgJQkg Edited May 16, 2009 by mariposa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasabi_tea Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 *pops in* This will be the first year in a long time that I won't actually be watching the Eurovision, seeing as I'm in Japan and it'd come on at the equivalent of 4AM here x_X (amongst other reasons), BUT I have been following the semi-finals and stuff intently, and I look forward to seeing who will win at the finals! My absolute favourite entry this year is Bosnia & Herzegovina's entry, but I also love Norway's, Estonia's, Germany's, Slovenia's, Armenia's, Russia's, Montenegro's, Israel's and Serbia's entries too (yeah, that's a lot of favourites, hahaha). Got a good chuckle from the Czech Republic's entry as well - SUPERGIPSY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You can't tell me that Norwegian guy ain't gay! Or maybe he's just in denial.. seems to be the trend among singers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first reaction as well!! Then I started thinking, hmm, maybe he's so far in denial that he doesn't want to be seen with gays? But then I thought, maybe it's just the jealousy talking, badmouthing by some freaked out Ukraine-fan or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he is so gay that he tipped the scale and went straight again. That's all possible...post gay is the new trend Wellwell, Oscar Loya, the German participant, is openly gay...I remember having seen a homestory of him and his bf somewhere...

Gatagordinha Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I have less than no idea who is going to win tonight. Except I know it won't be UK coz everyone hates us of course and it's a rubbish song. Not one of the songs I heard in the Semis has stuck in my head.. Looking forward to it all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadise will get 12 points from Germany for sure (can't rember Germany having NOT given 12 points to Turley actually....). But then (I'll skip 2nd place *wishful thinking*), Alexander ..., before Azerbaidjan, Albania and Greece...Lithuania is only ranked 23 That needs to be different tonight! Looks like the German vote is mostly going to danceable tracks though instead of ballads... Edited May 16, 2009 by mariposa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
