European Song Contest

[Zoid]

The swedish commentators actually thought Sweden were gonna win, but after a while they became extatic over 4 points from Turkey or whatever. "Let´s hope we make the top 14 at least", pretty pathetic...

Swedish newspapers predicted a sure win for Sweden, but then they predicted like 25 medals in the olympics as well. Too bad the ****ers never learn

In the hottest chick contest Malta wins closely followed by Croatia. Grrr...

Sounds like Finnish papers. Even though rest of the country uniformly knows that Finnish songs are crap and will go to the bottom without an exception, Finnish press still tells every year how we've got a sure winner in our hands.

And the prize for most stupid performance goes to Greece and Lithuania. Many others did a good job at being utterly stupid, but these two really had gone to extremes...

We Europeans should be proud. There's just ain't all that much crummines around in today's glittering marketing world, and the Euro Song Contest brings back happy memories of the Cold War era Eastern Europe show biz.

No cheezy Yank Elvis revival even come close.

Denmark got 7 points - 6 of which came from non-European countries Israel and Turkey. It's amazing how Israel always, always gives Denmark some sort of symbolic Eurovision gesture, no matter how awful the song.

Well, we like you Monk.

You're nice people.

You liked jews and israel all the time.

Britain in 3rd! Yay! We beat the French.

Incidentally, I'm too drunk to recall who or what song it was at the moment, but didn't one of the first 5 or so sound very much like a british song of recent years?

Having gone to the official site, I'm thinking of Austria's song which sounded an awful lot like "Alright now".

yothey all agve poinjtsw to their nieghboors i hear. this shoqw was a parody.
the problem is that we have only one neighjboor cyprus.

[Sirotnikov]

Actually I'm surprised, I thought that the chick that Denmark sent was HOT. And the song was nice too

[Bereta_Eder]

thats why it always go to baltics or scandinavia they always vote for eachother

it was set up

[Sirotnikov]

Btw, a news reporter said that the administration are scared of the fact that countries are voting in blocks, helping thier neighbours.

They feel that damages the credibility and fairnes of the competition. Especially with the east-european block.

They said that if this proves to be true then the western countries may secede and then the Eurovision will die.

so did we give any pinmts to turkey or fyrom?

[Chowlett]

Credibility? It had credibility? Since when?
