[Maquiladora]

Finland looked alright too. They might even win again.

Man, I hate it that we can't get the British commentary. They do it right with all the jokes and laughing how bad everyone is. Because THAT IS THE POINT!!!!!!

We get all this serious 'Hmmhmh analyzing the song pretty good pretty good..'. I mean wtf? Did you see what they were wearing? This is camp, this is euro trash, this is wtf competition. You need humour, not serious attitudes.

If we were serious, these all suck so bad anyway that we'd have to kill ourselves or seek living space in the Asia.

OH and UKRAINE did the best Eurovision performance. It epitomises the whole thing. I'm rooting for Ukraine

[Pekka]

I think this is still a good thing. It's like.. there's not a lot of things that brings Euros together and laugh or what ever. We say we are united EU or something, but when do we ever do something together? It doesn't really matter if some stuck up politicians have a cup of coffee and talk with codes. THat means nothing to us, what means is if we do things together. So, this is one of the platforms. And it's not like football or serious sports, because these don't get heated at all. People can laugh at the whole thing together.

This is why people watch this for the most part. The songs and everything in them are quite bad, but you have to look, because it's quite so bad


GO UKRANIAN WEIRD SPACE SUITED MEN DRESSED AS WOMEN WITH BIG BOOBS!!!

[Maquiladora]

Ukraine certainly had the WTF factor.

[Pekka]

It was perfect.

[Combat Ingrid]

After all, this is the one time of the year when the Yanks can rightfully claim cultural superiority over us

[Pekka]

But this performance of Apocalyptica and circus freaks doesn't fit. This is actually pretty cool looking stuff.

[Maquiladora]

That person interviewed looks like Hiro from Heroes. Not sure if it was a man or a woman though.

[Pekka]

THe points come now! UKRAINE! UKRAINE!

[Pekka]

Ukraine is leading with 58 points at the moment.. GO UKRAINE GO!

[Monk]

And our 12 points - HEJA SVERIGE! Our neighbour, Sweden!

She even made a point of it. I'm not entirely sure we're in a position to complain about the Eastern Europeans -

Pekka, how come that Krissa wasn't snuffed at birth ?
