This is the official Eurovision Song Contest 2003 topic...you can talk other years to if you feel like.

I don't feel like talking about last year...but 2001 and 2000 was extremly good years for Denmark. We won in 2000 and was second in 2001

So, does anyone know when it is in 2003 ??

2fast · Post by **2fast** » 12 May 2003, 20:23

Somewhere in may

Post by **SveinR** » 12 May 2003, 21:47

YEAH Dana International rox!

It's in May, 24th maybe. That seems most likely to me. Oh, Austria's song is really r0xx0r good

Am I the only one who likes the greek song from last year?

"Say, say the magic word...
*greek babble*
Give the password...the password...the password"

Really good song! Kraftwerk feeling...

Norway's song sucks, as usual. Not as bad this year as two years ago though.
Hopefully we get 0 points, that's always funny.

The best song was Germany's 2 or 3 years ago - "Wadde Hadde Dudde Da?".

Roger that!

Another thing that always happen is that the wrong song won the swedish "qualification" or whatever you call it. It should have been "Sarek - Genom Eld & Vatten".

But "Fame - Give me your love" can win too...

Dana International was a boy once, you know that ?
and greece's song, "give the password" was funny... in the last annual trip i brought a cd-player and this song, we laughed all the night... but their costumes was 100% TERRIBLE.....

OMG, are you crazy man!? "Everbody" sucked a$$! How could it win???The melody was impossible to remember, even right after you've heard the song! Also the song was quite boring... ZZZzzzzz...

2fast · Post by **2fast** » 13 May 2003, 14:33

Yea,but Estonian songs got more points than Sweden.

It's a music contest between countries in Europe. First each country has its own contest, and the winner there enters the European contest. And for some reason it's broadcasted in Australia

I think many shares that opinion

I for one.

Common knowledge.

Hmph, the transsexual from OUTSIDE of Eurpoe...how is she allowed to win? Ah well, its about time i got over that...
Ahem, who remembers '96? Gina G, The Australian who won it for UK...
Its about time we had someone good doing a song for us...

I remember Gina G (ohh, ahh, just a little bit, ohh, ahh, a little bit more), but she didn't win did she? Anyway, besterest Eurovision song (when talking quality) has to be Secret Garden - Nocturne, who won it for Norway in '95.

2fast · Post by **2fast** » 13 May 2003, 20:51

May 24

OMG, u must be kidding!!! That song was almost disqualified 'cause there's only like 8 words in it! Boring song!

Only techno/dance/trance songs can have so few lyrics. Definately not ballads anyway.

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 14 May 2003, 06:36

about tATu... there have been many artisits in the eurovision contest over the years who were actully known, but they always got lame ass points. don't worry

(umm though Dana International was known here before

)

Only the songwriter have to be from the country the song come from, they singer(s) don't have to be from the same country(and can be fro outside europe)...strange, but true.

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 14 May 2003, 17:11

huh, that's a stupid rule

but dana international is israeli... whatchu talkin bout?

Post by **SveinR** » 14 May 2003, 17:16

Maybe chux meant that Israel isn't in Europe.

chux · Post by **chux** » 15 May 2003, 16:57

Yep, i meant Israel isnt (or wasnt) in Europe, although im no good with countries, so dont go nuts and tell me it is...
I heard its something to do with the EU...or the commonwealth or something, not the european countries...gahh im confused

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 15 May 2003, 17:25

no, it's not a part of europe. but it's kinda considered that because.. umm.. well.. my mom says it's because of the colture thing, we're very much like you, belive it or not

chux · Post by **chux** » 15 May 2003, 17:31

ah, i see!
If anyone knows how Israel got into the contest (:D) let me know

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 15 May 2003, 21:14

Turkey is also in the contest, though it's an Asian country.
(Ok, ok 1% is in Europe, but still)

And it's true non-European artists are allowed. For instance Celine Dion (from Canada) was in it once upon a time. (For Switzerland i think)

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 16 May 2003, 05:54

what's the name of russian song?

Bonobo · Post by **Bonobo** » 16 May 2003, 11:29

I'll do like always.

-Put volume to 0
-Play any good song you like
-Think: "That's a damn good song, but playback and bad timing by singers"

3rd - Iceland with "Open Your Heart"
4th - Slovenia with "Na Na Na" (<- holy crap)

chux · Post by **chux** » 24 May 2003, 20:55

Lol, im watching right now, tatu are on...
Germany was funny..."lets get happy and lets be gay" whats all that about?

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 24 May 2003, 23:12

And the winners are...

1. Turkey 167
2. Belgium 165
3. Russia 164
4. Norway 123
5. Sweden 107

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 24 May 2003, 23:16

OMG! OMG! OMG! It's over!

Winner: Turkey...
OK, i guess. But Belgium was the best of the top 3! And we (Sweden) was the ones who ruined it for them by being the only ones who didn't give Belgium any points...

At least we landed on 5th place.

PS 1. chux, aren't you English? Don't you know "Gay" can mean "Jolly"

PS 2. United Kingdom - 0 points

Post by **SveinR** » 24 May 2003, 23:25

Well, that was that...wrong winner as usual

chux · Post by **chux** » 25 May 2003, 02:09

Zworqy - Yeah, Im English, and yeah I know gay can mean happy or jolly, but still, what strange thing to be singing about...ah well, thats Eurovision!

Ahem, in UK's defense............our song sucked!

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 25 May 2003, 09:10

omg, so close it was between the 3 top countrys

I would had liked TATU to win, but Turkey had good song to, so it's ok.

Really good guess with Britain there....*lol*

Post by **SveinR** » 25 May 2003, 13:57

That was a pretty lousy guess alltogether

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 26 May 2003, 19:12

yep, guess wasn't worth much.
i can't belive russia got 3rd place, that's so lame. their song sucked ass, they were just screaming into the mics.
