    Um... Nope. That will be even less true when the new nations join.

      • I must say that the British entry was truly abysmal and I would not have awarded it any points. They were completely tuneless, the song sounded totally and utterly flat and was just completely uninspiring...it actually didn't just sound bad, it was an unpleasant listening experience. Who f**king selected those as our contestants? I didn't see any vote on it occur...

        • I don't think we did vote this time. Jemini are just a joke though. I think with Iraq, someone realised we wouldn't win and thought it better to take the p*** this time. Was funny though

                  What is this Eurovision? And why doesn't it play in the US? Sounds popular.

                    • Eurovision is like an umbrella organization for european (and other, like from Turkey and Israel) TV stations. They every year make a song contest for amateurs (the Grand Prix de Eurovision), broadcasted in every country, where the viewers can vote by phone for anyone except the participant from their own country. Who gets the most votes, wins.

                      It's mostly a laugh, although several people take it dead serious.

                      • And winning it was the big break for Abba;

                        and (not sure) Celine Dion??

                          In an Eurovision contest?

                          GP - it is a song contest for all European countries (also Israel takes part). Thing is, as Sir Ralph said it, it appears very amateurish (although it is a big event), since the most known singers or bands usually don´t participate (with some exceptions)

                                Russia will win.
                                Come on! Russia has many good singers, better than these two horrible girls! Everybody knows why they are famous. And they are not famous for singing. They sing plain baaaaaad! If I was Russian I would feel offended by them...
