EuroVision Song-Contest

[alva]

Poly-ites watching this crap!!

You dissapoint me deeply, I thought more of you lot, guess I was wrong..

[BlackCat]

Are you saying that Luminita isn't worth a look ?

Besides, it's a fine program to read newspapers to - you only have to check from time to time if there is something interesting to look at.

The only thing that's even remotely interesting is the tallying of votes at the end, especially as you get to hear the countries' names in French, and also things like "this is Ljubljana calling, here are the results...".

[Flandrien]

I was deeply amazed to find out it is only the fourth time yet that Belgium is not participating.

[Pekka]

We sucked horrribly like we always do. I can't understand why these bozos get voted there, I know we're not a musical mecca but we have better than that. We've had some potential musicians participating in the contest to become the representor and competitor, and what do you know, it's always some god damn humppapelle who wins it all because 50+ year old votes dominates. For example Nightwish has lost, etc, everyone that actually has a name and something to give has LOST to some no name POS with a song that tells about something boring crap with composion straight from tv tune world.

But I am not disappointed. This is the tradition and if we somehow succeeded in this, it would shock me. So this is like winning to me .

HA-ha!

Denmark has one twice, in 1963 and 2000. So we're scheduled to take it again when I'm about 70. Hey, maybe I'll have a TV again by then.

How do you claim to exist when not having a TV

[Combat Ingrid]

Pekka, are you saying that Nightwish participated in your national selection?

[Zoid]

I´m going to watch it with some friends and taunt the contestors mercilessly. And the swedish guy really sucks I wish Bodies Without Organs would´ve won the swedish tryouts... "16 tons of hardware" is a really good song.

[Zoid]

Nightwish

[Pekka]

Combat Ingrid, yes. not this year.. it was few years back I think, but they had established their name already. And that's just one example. They never win these heavy hitters, because the humppapellet only likes the **** we see every year, and then they wonder why they never win anything, or even points to begin with, when to the rest of us (and rest of Europe, rest of the world) it's obvious.

I keep reading that as natural selection...

Who the hell was that Norwegian band?

That was the most ridiculous display of ****e I've ever seen. Worse than a twisted sister video...

Guess that they stumbled over some old glam rock videos and thought that they also could do it - they couldn't.

[Pekka]

I agree with you guys, they were trying to do the glamrock thing and failed SADLY. I'm not a big fan of.. I'm into electronic music (no not the NRJ top 10 hits or MTV), but I have to admit I don't mind some glamrock every now and then . They lacked the balls, totally, in that regard. It looked like they were trying to imitate one, instead of BEING ONE.

Anyway, mark my words, they will still do very well in the finals. Almost every song was complete crap, I was thinking ot myself 'not again this ****.. what's the genre for this'.. it took my about 10 minutes when I rememberd the genre.. EURO POP! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Then again it made sense.. European Popular Music.. omg.. so horrible. Somehow it equals with low quality.
