Finland sends heavy metal music again but crappy this time.

I heard they're gonna smack homosexuals over there in serbia. Such countries need to be erased from the world map, really.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
A couple of nice songs in first semi imo, though not really any real good ones. Only one that didn't go through that I'd liked to have seen in the final was Montenegro.
Let's hope for some great songs tonight

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
I don't know why, but I watched it all through today. My ears felt bad afterwards, the only thing which didn't seem to have the compressor on brickwall settings was the danish band. I somewhat liked cyprus too, but ofcourse captain jack & his motley latvian seagulls had to seize the flag and victory upon them.
Malta was okay because the girl was okay, the singer of sweden reminded me of an inflatable fuck doll.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
And the most recent win for sweden was, say, 25 years ago? Then I can understand. The wonders of plastic surgery!
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
i actully watch tonight and is i´m the only one who like Spain?
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
Watched most of the songs except 9-14 (sach energy just dropped after dinner so i fell asleep) but i didnt really like any of them. None of them was good in my ears just different grades of bad-decent. Greece shouldve won instead of Russia, sach intetsägande song from Russia, sach intetsägande that if i heard it 2 days from now i wouldnt recognize it. :X
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
My favorites:
Armenia: Sirusho - Qele Qele
Bosnia and Herzegovina: Laka - Pokušaj
Croatia: Kraljevi Ulice and 75 cents - Romanca
Norway: Maria - Hold On Be Strong
Albania: Olta Boka - Zemrën E Lamë Peng
Several others were good too (Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Israel), and Russia is a perfectly fine winner really.

Ofcourse I wasn't at home. What happened to sweden?

sach funny before ESC in the media here: "We got startingnumber 15, just what Charlotte had when she won in Jerusalem" and basically "We have a great song, ez top 5" :D
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
Amazing, such is the case too with my country. It has been ages since we got into the finals, and every time the press comes like 'omg we got a winner here'. Same with the coming football tourney in a week or two, holland probably won't make it through the poule, but still everyone dreams of a revision of '88.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
My favourites were Albania, Bulgaria, Latvia and Poland. I guess Russia was fine for a winner, but there were still many others I'd rather had seen winning. Pretty good year this year again <33

4th position in WC4 (DAMN YOU KARLIS!!!!) PWNED KARLIS IN WC5!!!!TT:39:2x:xx (you've got some playing to do Stini ) When it's all over the question is not who was right. The question is who's left.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
Oi! Less of that!
Looks like this contest is more and more about diplomatic relations and racism than the music. Bad times

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
Nah, don't believe the bitterness of Terry Wogan. If you look behind the results you'll find that the so-called West/East divide doesn't exist: In the 2007 competition, if you only count the votes from Western European nations, the top10 is nearly equal as if you only count the votes from Eastern European nations. I haven't bothered to check this in the 2008 competition yet, but I'd be surprised if the same wasn't the case now. In any case, Norway with its top5 placement should show that not only Eastern Europeans do well (Norway actually got points from everyone but 8 nations, out of a total of 43).chux wrote:Looks like this contest is more and more about diplomatic relations and racism than the music.

And in my opinion the top10 in the final of 2008 pretty much consists of the 10 best songs this year.
And another thing: The Eastern European countries take this competition very seriously, and puts a lot of prestige and money into it and sends some of their most popular artists. So it's only natural that they'll do better, when they actually bother to send better songs.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
Its not just the Wogan though. Although he has been able to predict who a lot of countries will give the big points to...
No one wants to give us points anymore. Even if the top 10 were the top 10, I definitely dont think our guy was the worst! Im bitter too
Youre right though, the Eastern nations take it a lot more seriously than we do. Its a massive joke over here, no realy serious artists would bother with it.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008
It wasn't very hard to predict, considering the first 7 point receivers were already shown. All you needed to do to predict the last 3 point receivers, most of the time, was to see which of the top 10 didn't receive points already
I agree that Britain's song this year definitely didn't deserve to be placed so poorly though. It was much better than most of their recent entries..
