The Russian grannies :lol:

[alb0zfinest]

The Russian grannies :lol:

haha yea they're pretty funny. The same for Montenegros singer.
They werent serious though, they sent those contestants to make fun of Eurovision.

[Graham]

Romania and where can I vote knock the fuck out of Jedward?

[Archduke]

Cyprus and Russia.

[dralos]

i vote albania
bulgaria for the gypsy
russia bcs grannies are good people

[Archduke]

I heard that not only Bulgaria have non-european contestant.

[dralos]

by seeing the contestant from azeri,you would think they're more euro then most other real euros

[Queen B]

haha yea they're pretty funny. The same for Montenegros singer.
They werent serious though, they sent those contestants to make fun of Eurovision.
Montenegro's song was bad.

Why not serious? Each country (my own believe) should send a song that represent their culture and style of music.

[alb0zfinest]

Yea but eurovision in recent years has been more about politics then actual talent.

[Vasconcelos]

Wow people still actually care about this? I'm amazed.

[Queen B]

Yea but eurovision in recent years has been more about politics then actual talent.
that's sadly very true

Wow people still actually care about this? I'm amazed.
Its fun to watch, doesn't necessarily mean we care.

[zlakopistou]

Russia hands down!

[alb0zfinest]

Wow people still actually care about this? I'm amazed.

Could this be a response to Macedonia seldomly reaching the semi-finals?

[heyaitsme]

I don't like any of them

[alb0zfinest]

Greece song is pretty good, but her voice isint much.

[rashka]

by seeing the contestant from azeri,you would think they're more euro then most other real euros

You consider her Euro looking? She looks very Azeri.

[Vojnik]

edit.

[Rouxinol]

None.

[Comte Arnau]

Cyprus. She sings like an ass, but she's hot.

Yes, I'm an intellectual.

[Dacul]

This is plain weird that song that represents Romania is latino music.
Besides she is most undress from all singers.
Could be a good song to represent Brasil not Romania.
On the other hand the song that represent Republic of Moldavia is more european.

What I noticed is that lots of melodies the voice is not fitting the instrumentation.
And some competitors do not have any kind of voice.
Ireland song is worst it barely can be called "song" because I miss the melody there or the voice of the singers.
Same happens with the singer which represents France which does not have any kind of voice,lol.

I really liked the voice of the singer of Italy it reminds me of the voice of Amy Winehouse.Nina Zilli is actually singing and has a voice compared to a big part of other singers which are not really doing that.

[Leliana]

No one, our German singer Roman Löb is horrible, the Austrian singers failed in the semi-final and the rest are the usual Eurotrash artists and painful ballad singers with more skin-showing than musical talent. I'm not going to watch it.

No wonder. Woki mit deim Popo, wtf. If only the choreography had been more suggestive with their popos...

[Virtuous]

hmm...

[Riki]

I support the ones who truly represent their Country like Portugal.
Singing in their own language per,ex.

[Queen B]

That's why I support the lovely Russian grannies :D

[Comte Arnau]

^ They sing in Udmurt, right?

[Riki]

That's why I support the lovely Russian grannies :D

But quality its a must.And I failed to see It on their act.

[jerney]

I want the little grandmas to win

[The Lawspeaker]

I haven't got the faintest clue who won, who is going to win and I personally couldn't care less either. Eurovision is something this country could do without as it would save us a fair bit of money.

[Comte Arnau]

Spain should definitely withdraw from the contest, specially now. It's one of the Big 5 because it contributes with more than €400M to the EBU, and more than €130M directly for the Eurovision contest. Maybe a win could pay off a bit of it, but it's not going to happen because Eastern and Nordic countries vote for each other (Spain has neither neighbours nor big diasporas, and never sings in English), and even so it's not really worth the pay. I don't know why Spain doesn't do the same Italy did and have a rest for some years.

Do you know they buy their way to the final?
Calling this a contest does not seem correct.
Also the lack of quality of the Music is appalling.
Most sound like a sort of techno-house.

They don't buy their way to the final. It's just that, without the economic contribution of the big 5, the contest wouldn't even be done. I'd say that having their participation at the final guaranteed is kind of logical.

So,they buy their way to the final.

Well, you don't waste money buying a lottery poll to give it to others. That'd be stupid.

[Turkophagos]

The Russian grannies :lol:

Russia may has the "Buranovskiye Babushki" but we have the "Pornovskiye Partouzishki":

you obviously haven't seen rona nishliu

[Queen B]

Just saw the second round.

I am pretty sure when Greek heard ''Koula'' (Esthonia) died from laughter :lol:

[Matuo]

Grannies from Russia aren't Russians, but Udmurts. And they sing in Udmurt language, which is related to Finnish, Estonian, and (more distantly) to Hungarian language.

I will vote for them. Not only because they are cute, but also because I want to support Finno-Ugric minorities in Russia.

[Leliana]

No wonder. Woki mit deim Popo, wtf.
It was lower Austrian dialect. But they deserve to be out, what a load of crap track.

[Mraz]

Turkey has a nice song, they can expect 12 points from Israel. :laugh2:

[alb0zfinest]

Turkey has a nice song, they can expect 12 points from Israel. :laugh2:

d_F6H6--FrU

haha.

[Comte Arnau]

Apparently Spain has increased their chances of winning because of joking declarations by the singer two days ago that she had been told not to win, as it'd mean a heavy cost to organize it next year, lol. Many European fans now ask voters to vote for Spain just to piss off the country. :laugh:

[Vojnik]

Macedonia could win, we have a great song.

[Onur]

Turkey has a nice song, they can expect 12 points from Israel. :laugh2:
Our local Jews are survivors from Spanish inquisition of 1492. They are living here peacefully for more than 500 years and we didn't have any problem with them even after Israel killed 9 men in the flotilla. In fact, they were the sole minority group of Turkey who supported us during our national resistance against the allies in the last years of Ottoman empire while all others were trying to grab lands as much as possible during the conflicts, including the filthy Arabs.

[Virtuous]

This is the night, motherfrockers. :D

[iNird]

I support Montenegro. A complete troll job on their part. Even the singer's name Rambo Amadeus is troll like. Here are the lyrics:


Eurosceptic, analphabetic
Try not to be hermetic

Euro Neuro don’t be sceptic
Hermetic, pathetic, analphabetic
Forget all cosmetic, you need new poetic
Esthetic, ecletic, dialectic

Euro neuro, don’t be dogmatic bureaucratic
You need to become pragmatic
To stop change climatic automatic
Need contribution from the institution
To find solution for pollution
To save the children of the evolution

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance

(Blaue grotte ausflug do Zanjica, heute habe hobotnica)

Euro Neuro I don’t like snobism
Nationalism, puritanism
I am different organism
My heroism is pacifism, altruism
I enjoy bicyclism
Liberalism, tourism, nudism, optimism
It is good for rheumatism

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance

Euro neuro, I got no ambition
For high position in competition
With air condition
Different mission, different school
I got only one rule
Always stay cool
Like a swimming pool

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance

LOL

The competition is a complete joke and the songs are painful to listen to (well the ones in English are.) I still remember that gay Greek song that won a few years ago Your my lover undercover.......one of the most painful songs to listen to.

[alb0zfinest]

This is the night, motherfrockers. :D

what time is it on?

[Comte Arnau]

Gonna be serious now. Sorry Cyprus.

Since I only support those countries which still have the courage not to sing in commercial English, this reduces my voting to:

Albania 10 - Macedonia 8 - Bosnia 6 - Serbia 4 - Estonia 2

Russian grannies are the cutest, but this is a song contest.

The reason I don't include Spain is only because I wouldn't like Spain to organize the event next year, not because I don't like her. Actually I find her to be one of the most decent Spanish entries in many years. In compensation I include here an around-the-world cover of her song.


_8oJOo1nJ0Y

[Virtuous]

what time is it on?


21:00 CET or 20:00 GMT, that's when the Final starts.

(Today)

[Turkophagos]

The Spanish singer looks so Irish...

[ThatGirl]

I`m watching it now i like Russian grannies and Iceland.

[Aces High]

I thought this shit died along with "Its a knockout".

[2Cool]

Sweden won.

[Mraz]

Is the singer Swedish at least?

[Nurzat]

that nigger in the swedish staff or band dancing with the swedish flag was hilarious

[Nurzat]

Is the singer Swedish at least?


Both of Loreens parents are from Morocco and Loreen is of Berber-Moroccan descent.

so she's FULL moroccan

not to mention that the contest was held in azerbaidjan... heart of europe:

http://louisadheen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/caspian-sea-map_s.jpg

we have to get used to this kind of things... in the future about all in europe will become off-european

[Turkophagos]

Sweden won.

The title of their song was "Euphoria", a greek word.

[Hurrem sultana]

Swwweeeeeeden

a morrocan girl won for them :D

[Turkophagos]

You take this way to seriously. Even though the competition has the name euro in it, it has little to do with it.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/EurovisionParticipants.svg/713px-EurovisionParticipants.svg.png

Green - Countries which have participated in the contest at least once.

Orange- Countries which are eligible to participate, but have not (yet) done so.

Pink- Countries which were supposed to compete in the contest but withdrew right before the final.

I remember there was a time when Celine Dion competed for Switzerland. She's from Quebec...

[Mraz]

I'm sad, my jew didn't score many points :(
And his song was much better.

[Wildland]

Just to clear it out regarding our nation Macedonia. Only reason Macedonia gave 12 points to Albania is because there are allot of illegal aliens in our country.

[Nurzat]

I remember there was a time when Celine Dion competed for Switzerland. She's from Quebec...

on a genetic map like those on eurogenes she is european for sure... these non europeans are NOT

:nod

[Nurzat]

anyway what a shitty show... those presenters were so stupid, and i'm not taking it on their awful language skills... i mean the girls, so stupid questions and stupid poses, stupid smile... then the voters from all the capital cities... how come THESE people were chosen as there are plenty of people, even beautiful and smart ones, that could do the job and SPEAK english at the same time

a total waste of money in these times...

[Turkophagos]

It was the best song anyway:


4nJcmLMb5to

[rashka]

The Spanish singer looks so Irish...

I don't think she does. She looks like she is from the Canary Islands.

[Nurzat]

It was the best song anyway

so what? eurovision is not about the songs anyway... you saw the voting, greece gives 12 to cyprus and cyprus to greece and all the neighbours the same since neolithic

[Aces High]

Im sure she will do well on her new career on some tacky cruise ship.

[Queen B]

so what? eurovision is not about the songs anyway... you saw the voting, greece gives 12 to cyprus and cyprus to greece and all the neighbours the same since neolithic

Everytime I read the Greece-Cyprus voting, I am laughing hard.
Yes, Greece and Cyprus vote each other, but are they the only ones?

All the Scandos do the same, all the Ex-Yugoslavs too, Turkey-Ajerbaijan too, Andorra and Spain, Italy and San Marino, etc, etc, etc.

Its all about neighbors and politics.

[rashka]

Grannies from Russia aren't Russians, but Udmurts. And they sing in Udmurt language, which is related to Finnish, Estonian, and (more distantly) to Hungarian language.

I will vote for them. Not only because they are cute, but also because I want to support Finno-Ugric minorities in Russia.


I thought I was going to hear them singing in Russian and couldn't pick out anything slavic so I figured they were singing in one of those uralic languages. They didn't look Russian either.

[Γέλως]

so what? eurovision is not about the songs anyway... you saw the voting, greece gives 12 to cyprus and cyprus to greece and all the neighbours the same since neolithic
C'mon Atrox, always with your conspiracy stuff. This is a plain coincidence.

[Nurzat]

C'mon Atrox, always with your conspiracy stuff. This is a plain coincidence.

lol i am not into conspiracies, greek :D i am just saying it is BORING to see the same shit each year, greece-cyprus was an example for almost all the competitors do the same. and all those shitty songs... i didn't see it since highschool and i won't watch it again :D

oh... and i cannot believe how stupid all the girls involved were... i am sure there are plenty of both beautiful and very intelligent female humans, why do they choose only these gooses with no brain? did you see how insecure they were and what stupid questions they had? kitsch at its worst (maybe that's why this is so popular in the balkans-anatolia-caucasus region, i know it's national holiday for them, the eurovision)

[Comte Arnau]

Nothing more predictable than Euros voting, lol.

Each year shows that Latin European countries should seriously retire from the contest. Specially those which pay so much for it, like France, Spain and Italy.

[Nurzat]

they invent new countries in the balkans each year, next is kosovo to join eurovision probably, and only to ensure additional points

YUGO GROUP (also votes for macedonia)
slovenia
croatia
serbia
montenegro

MUSLIM GROUP (also votes for turkey, azerbaidjan)
kosovo
albania
bosnia

BULGARIAN GROUP (also votes for yugo group)
macedonia
bulgaria

ROMANIAN GROUP (also votes for spain and italy, where all their citizens are now)
romania
moldova

HELLENIC GROUP (also votes with malta, andorra, sanmarino and other small states for they hate all the true countries of europe)
greece
cyprus

[2Cool]

Everytime I read the Greece-Cyprus voting, I am laughing hard.

All the Scandos do the same, all the Ex-Yugoslavs too, Turkey-Ajerbaijan too, Andorra and Spain, Italy and San Marino, etc, etc, etc.

It has more to do with Music industries. For one, Western Countries don't really take the competition seriously. Greece and Cyprus share the same taste in music and pretty much the same music industry. It's like having two Greek entries so it's not surprising that they vote for each other. It's the same thing with the other blocks.

Surprise, surprise, neighboring countries with similar cultures have similar tastes in music. Who knew?

But yeah, politics plays a part in it too.

[Comte Arnau]

This shows it all. Seriously, Western Europeans (-Scandos) should have a new contest of their own.

http://www.ukgameshows.com/p/images/1/18/Eurovision_Voting_Patterns_2009.gif

[2Cool]

Here's an idea. Have Galicia, Basque Country, and Catalonia split from Spain. Then we'll have a strong Iberian block :D

[Comte Arnau]

I'd vote for Spain 12 points every year, if that's the condition. Where should I sign? :p

It's sad isn't it? I don't think it's too late to stop though.

[Mistic]

During the votes, the theme tune for Australian soap "Neighbours" sounded off in my head :(

[dralos]

unbelieveable that russia was second with such a lame song with grannies

[Hurrem sultana]

our song was really bad,,,thanks croatia and turkey for your votes...and i am sure they are only "neighbor" votes :D

[Virtuous]

Malta should've done better, but as always neighbour voting didn't help.I ask myself why do we even participate sometimes.

[Pecheneg]

our song was really bad,,,thanks croatia and turkey for your votes...and i am sure they are only "neighbor" votes :D
what was your vote for us? 1? 2? :mad:

[Hurrem sultana]

what was your vote for us? 1? 2?

we gave you 4 but hey usually we give you 10 so it was the jurys fault:D 50% televoting 50'% jury

[Corvus]

Austria finished last :(

[Pecheneg]

we gave you 4 but hey usually we give you 10 so it was the jurys fault:D 50% televoting 50'% jury
but they are right, our song was horrible (at least for me) :D

[Turkophagos]

Greece's singer is Cypriot and Cyprus' singer is Greek.

Greece's singer was Cypriot last year as well. Till like 10 years ago all Greek and Cypriot song were in Greek. So, what do you expect from the voting?

[ThatGirl]

Ireland should just pull out we send shit like Jedward and the tax payer has to pay for their travel ,accommodation etc and everyone only votes for the neighbor country anyway.
Our only fucking neighbor is England for gods sake.
Anyways we probably could not afford to host it. No wonder they keep sending Jeward

[Virtuous]

It was the best song anyway:


4nJcmLMb5to

It's just a common Trance music imo, the only reason it won it's because it's different from all the "Eurovision style" songs.

If there was anyone who really deserved to win the Eurovision that was Lordi in 2006 :D, and yeah they did!

_M6px6Ynm90

[Graham]

I'd vote for Spain 12 points every year, if that's the condition. Where should I sign? :p

England 0 points. Don't think we'll go with that. :D

[zlakopistou]

Happy for your muslim sister?

She is no muslim. In islam, singers, actors etc go to Hell when they die.

[The Alchemist]

Estonia...coz the singer was pretty ;D

[Rastko]

I liked Serbia,Macedonia,Greece and Cyprus the most.

[Vojnik]

How didn't the Babushki win!? Although, I did like Sweden, Macedonia and Serbia as swell. The Greek singer was good looking but the song was absolute crap. And I heard that the Greek singer is half Maxican, is this true?

Bosnia usually gives their highest points to Serbia,Turkey,Macedonia

:( Macedonia also gave points to that craphole.

I wonder if that's from Macedonians because of the positive feelings for Turkey or Albanians and other muslim groups voting from them? Probably both.

[Vojnik]

Nird, what did you think of Albania? I think she yelled way too much, but I thought it was nice.

[Midori]

I wonder if that's from Macedonians because of the positive feelings for Turkey or Albanians and other muslim groups voting from them? Probably both.

Many Macedonians think Turkey is their friend just because they are the Greeks' enemy :twitch00:

[Vojnik]

Many Macedonians think Turkey is their friend just because they are the Greeks' enemy :twitch00:

And don't forget they invest alot of money into Macedonia and create jobs.

[Comte Arnau]

There's also another funny aspect. Votes usually reveal diasporas. Notice the great amount of votes Spain gives to Romania, or Italy to Albania, etc. :laugh:

[Hurrem sultana]

I wonder if that's from Macedonians because of the positive feelings for Turkey or Albanians and other muslim groups voting from them? Probably both.

i think most albanians voted for Albania probably

Albania gave 10 to Turkey though(while turkey gave only 4)...not much of a friendship there:D

[Midori]

And don't forget they invest alot of money into Macedonia and create jobs.

We don't need their investments. They should go away.

[iNird]

i think most albanians voted for Albania probably

Albania gave 10 to Turkey though(while turkey gave only 4)...not much of a friendship there:D

Well according to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albania_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest), Albania has given the most points to Greece, Turkey, Macedonia and received the most from Macedonia, Greece and Switzerland (lots of Albanian diaspora there.)

So i guess you're right. Albanians vote for Turks but Turks do no return the favor.

[dralos]

belgium gave alot 10 to albania

[Mraz]

belgium gave alot 10 to albania

That means that there are a lot of Albanians or Kosovars in Belgium, cuz your song was :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

[Hurrem sultana]

So i guess you're right. Albanians vote for Turks but Turks do no return the favor.


thats because turks like bosniaks and azeris more :D

[Hurrem sultana]

Here are the countries we historically recieved most points from


Bosnia and Herzegovina has received the most points from... (finals only)
Rank Country
1Croatia
2Turkey
3.Slovenia

and we gave to;
1Croatia
2Turkey
3.Slovenia

and according to the albanian table,you guys have Bosnia in top 3..thanks :D i liked the albanian song yesterday .maybe soon kosovo will join and then you have one more 12 points every year :D

[dralos]

That means that there are a lot of Albanians or Kosovars in Belgium, cuz your song was :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:
shut it you croat in denial:D

[Queen B]

Funny, because that's what a Greek colleague told me. :wink
He obviously was making fun of you.
Eleftheria Elefteriou is Cypriot.
Ivi Adamou is half Cypriot (father) half Bulgarian (mother)

[dralos]

thats because turks like bosniaks and azeris more :D
i'm really happy for you,hope one day you all will be reunited:thumb001:

[Hurrem sultana]

greater chance that it happens to you guys,and based on voting you would love it :D

[dralos]

greater chance that it happens to you guys,and based on voting you would love it :D
probably not since they dont like us,and who are you kidding you would transform in a turk rightaway:D

[Virtuous]

And no one gives a flying f*** about Malta

might as well go live on the moon

[Meerkat.86]

what a bad collection of commercial music.

I'd vote only for Russian babushkas.

[Queen B]

Some personal notes about Eurovision:

- Swedish song was good, but not that good to win with so much difference, and having a Maroccan singer to represent them.
- Babushkas deserved to win:embarrassed
- Ajerbaijan, Turkey, Moldova, Ukraine, Albania, Fyrom, Lithouania,and Ireland were bad enough to place where they placed.
- Italian and Spanish songs were underrated

[Queen B]

albania was better then greece and most of them,so stop your bs
Greek song was crap and most importantly her singing was crap. They deserved the low rank they got, that's why I didn't comment it
Albania was not that good to place so high.
The singer had a dumb in her hair, wore her dracula dress, and yelled to scary everybody in the stadium.

- Swedish song was good, but not that good to win with so much difference, and having a Maroccan singer to represent them.
- Babushkas deserved to win:embarrassed
- Ajerbaijan, Turkey, Moldova, Ukraine, Albania, Fyrom, Lithouania,and Ireland were bad enough to place where they placed.
- Italian and Spanish songs were underrated

I agree with the first point.

I don't think the babushkas deserved to win. This is a song contest, after all.

The Albanian singer performed a song that requires some skills, even if it looks like scary yelling to the lay. I actually think she deserved a better place.

I'd have killed the Irish twins, were I allowed to.

I agree with the Italian and Spanish songs being underrated. But they ranked very well, considering the countries have no neighbours.

lol jelly greek is jelly:D
I didn't even supported our song (see my first comment on the thread).
I was a strong fan of the Russian grannies.
I only strongly supported Greece's entries with Sakis Rouvas :embarrassed (2004, 2009) , and I also liked Alkaios (2010) , Lucas (2011) and Paparizou (2005)

Many Macedonians think Turkey is their friend just because they are the Greeks' enemy :twitch00:


I wonder if that's from Macedonians because of the positive feelings for Turkey or Albanians and other muslim groups voting from them? Probably both.


:( Macedonia also gave points to that craphole.

How about Macedonian Turks voting for Turkey? Ever thought about that?

I agree with the first point.
I don't think the babushkas deserved to win. This is a song contest, after all.

And? It was a song, with traditional elements, and in their native language.

Its not a talent show , where what (should) count(s) is how great voice someone has. Its about having a good song to show, and a good overall perfmormance.


I'd have killed the Irish twins, were I allowed to. They were as bad as the Norway's gay entrance.

I think they should have ranked higher.

WTF,but i guess your opinion shouldnt really matter since you support those grannies:D

[Duke]

Montenegro was best IMO

[Comte Arnau]

I found that great, I liked them to. I only think not as great as for the first place, as there was an increase in musical quality this year, compared to other years when many countries presented jokes.

I agree. I'm not saying Albania should have won, just saying she made a good rendering of a difficult song.

And she sang in Albanian. I sincerely hope Greece or Cyprus sing in Greek again next year.

[Queen B]

I sincerely hope Greece or Cyprus sing in Greek again next year.
I hope that too. When we use Greek, we rank better, plus we have a beautiful language. And not only I would love to see us sing in Greek, but also have a more traditional sound than this (unsuccesfull) copy of Paparizou.

[Damião de Góis]

As for voting patterns we have gave most points to: Germany, UK, Italy. And have received the most points from: France (immigrants), Spain, Luxembourg (immigrants). So i don't think we are involved in any voting pattern.

I thought Serbia was the best. But the overal songs of this years ESC weren't that great.

[Damião de Góis]

Btw, i didn't watch it but the swedish song seems to have been a deserved winner.

[The Lawspeaker]

I thought Serbia was the best. But the overal songs of this years ESC weren't that great.

But then again. The ESC hasn't been useful for well over a decade.

[Harmonia]

I wanted babushkas to win :( I'm satisfied with the place Lithuania got, 14th is enough, I didn't except better this year, since our song and performance wasn't anything special, imo.
Sweden's song was not my cup of tea, but well, great performance, I guess it deserves 1th place.

[Azalea]

But then again. The ESC hasn't been useful for well over a decade.

Not for the Netherlands. But that's our own fault. We never take the ESC serious. Whenever we send in a song, the only thing we do is complain about how stupid the song is, how we are gonna lose because of the song and then, when we actually lose, we complain about how stupid the contest and voting actually is while the whole country was complaining about the song months before the contest. And although politics definitely play a big role in the ESC, countries like Germany, Sweden, Norway have proven that if you send in a good song, you can win. Despite politics.

[The Lawspeaker]

Ireland. A very good example. They came out of nowhere. When was the last time we won ? 1975 ?

[Azalea]

Well with songs and acts like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzRHqOSg--s) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx5KGbxDMMQ), we will keep losing. :)

Check out the comment with the most thumbs up

The difference is that Western countries have to make an outstanding song+performance, while any more or less acceptable Russian/Serbian/Swedish... performances have many more possibilities of winning.

And rightfully so, I might add.

True, I never denied that. But what I meant was that it's not only about politics and Netherlands not entering the finale is mostly because of the faling acts.

I don't follow Eurovision, but as for swedish songs go i would say these are both good and a little more than just acceptable:

I don't know how it is in general over the years.

[The Lawspeaker]

Hmmm let's see. Some of the Dutch contibutions dating back to the year dot.

But by God.. we sent this little act to represent this country back in 1974. It was good for the laugh though but rather pointless.

DoVsGdtM378

But eventhough it was just horrible to look at the results are good enough: 3rd place, 15 points.

I wasn't referring to this year in particular. I actually think she made an excellent performance and probably deserved to win, although not by such a distance. But it's quite obvious that Sweden is quite prone to receive votes from the Scando-Baltic clan.

[Mistic]

I actually really liked the music from -

Hungary: Compact Disco
Cyprus: Ivi Amdamou
F.Y.R. Macedonia: Kaliopi
Ukraine: Gaitana

[Hess]

What does a "who can imitate American Pop Music better" contest held in Baku have to do with Europe?

Fuck Eurovision.

[alb0zfinest]

Greek song was crap and most importantly her singing was crap. They deserved the low rank they got, that's why I didn't comment it
Albania was not that good to place so high.
The singer had a dumb in her hair, wore her dracula dress, and yelled to scary everybody in the stadium.

Yes no your right, Albania didnt deserve fifth place but the Russian grandmas deserved second? :rolleyes:

[Vojnik]

He obviously was making fun of you.
Eleftheria Elefteriou is Cypriot.

Why would he make fun of me over that? by the way, I mis understood his strong Grik accent. He was actually referring to another lady that auditioned to represent Greece but didn't make it through. That lady was half Mexican half Grik.


Ivi Adamou is half Cypriot (father) half Bulgarian (mother)

And? I didn't say anything about her.

[Queen B]

I didn't watch the Ethnic finals, so I don't really know the other participants. Probably.

[Linet]

Finland....My favorite song by far...like elves singing for another magic world...

[chipriota]

Greece's singer is Cypriot and Cyprus' singer is Greek.

Greece's singer was Cypriot last year as well. Till like 10 years ago all Greek and Cypriot song were in Greek. So, what do you expect from the voting?

Correction: Cyprus' singer is half Cypriot and half Bulgarian (yet Bulgaria gave Cyprus 0 points)

The Greece-Cyprus exchange of 12 points is unavoidable. We share the same music industry. For two years in a row, Greece sent a Cypriot to represent them. And the singers who compete for Cyprus are most of the times popular in Greece. In fact, we only know where our 12 points will go. from 1 to 10 points, we always give it to different countries every year. Unlike the ex-Yugos or the ex-Soviets, who vote for ther 5-6 neighbors, and only few points remain for the rest.

[chipriota]

And I heard that the Greek singer is half Maxican, is this true?

Half Mexican? LOL, She is Cypriot...

[chipriota]

I didn't watch the Ethnic finals, so I don't really know the other participants. Probably.

He is talking about the "half Mexican half Brazilian wannabe" Albanian Eleni Foureira (aka Elen Fureraj the queen of solarium)! :thumb001:
