I LOL'ed and thought: "This might actually win".
 
Ahaha..well, the gay vote is a strong one with the Eurovision so you never know ;)

I will have to send this to my friend..we were watching a video of one of his drag queen friends that was just hilarious. Maybe this should be his next stop!
 
Wow at turkish entry for 2007, it's actually not bad, kinda timbalandish

Bulgaria is somehow listenable aswell in a etnotechnoanythinggoes style

Ukraine sure knows how to produce authentic eastern euro trash

You can find most of other entries on youtube, but most of them utter bore, there's DJ Bobo (Swiss entry) in there aswell, doesn't disappoint :lol

Katrina and The Waves - Love Shine A Light

Oh those were the days...
 
I heard Morrisey offered to do our song but the organisation told him he had to take part in a audition thing and he told them to **** off. Maybe they were scared he would be too good for the eurovision.
 
Did anyone watch the UK qualifying thing earlier? It's where the viewers vote form a bunch of songs to pick our representative.

I didn't bother watching the main bit, I didn't really care about the whole thing, but I checked the results show and I'm glad I did.

It came down to a group called Scooch and a woman called Cyndi. They were standing on either side of the hosts (Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton) and Terry was doing the usual "And the winner is.....the winner is...." *big pause* "....CYNDI!"

Cyndi's overjoyed, her family is screaming, the audience is cheering and clapping, Scooch look destroyed but they're politely clapping...only Fearne Cotton has her finger in her ear. About 5-10 seconds have gone by and she says "No...sorry, sorry...sorry Cyndi, Scooch have won!"

Hahaha, brilliant. Cyndi's crushed, Scooch don't know what the hell's going on...I dunno if Terry mishead or was told the wrong thing, but it was so funny.
 
Yeah, and no-one had the manners to apologize properly to the girl! Felt sorry for her as the mistake dawned on her and she had to quietly walk off the stage. Her song was rotten though haha! The tune was a rip of some scottish folk songs, inc. "i'll take the high road" or something.

They were all pretty hopeless, personally I'd have selected either Big Brovaz (spelling?) or Hawking/Brown. Purely because I have developed raging brown fever. Don't judge me!

You seem to be operating under the mistaken belief that the UK wants to win. Selecting Scooch proves that this is not the case.
 
the French entry is kind of funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGly6IC7HLI
but I wonder if the humour will only reach french-speaking people, with all the accent mimicking and all... (this group is known for making fun of a small regional accent, from a region in France I grew up in, by the way :) of course it wouldn't work for Eurovision).
 
My favourites so far:

1) Ukraine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHR491s3iSw
Stupid lyrics, batshit crazy performer, but it's fun and entertaining.
:lol

2) Israël (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_h_rLKTLvs) will score alot of points, just because of the lyrics.
Maybe third or second place. A win is possible...but doubtful.

The world is full of terror
If someone makes an error
He's gonna blow us up to biddy
biddy kingdom come
There are some crazy rulers
they hide and try to fool us
With demonic, technologic willingness to harm


3) Denmark (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9n1THAY4W8)
Transvestite lol. Pretty good song though, could score with gays.

4) Poland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7505mVOOI8)
Good mix of hiphop and pop, not my style, but kids/teens will vote for this I'm sure.
 
German entry, not THAT bad

I'm just really happy that we finally managed to jump off the train of sillyness we started with Guildo Horn. 70s costumes, COME ON!

But German lyrics, forget it. We could have had a slight chance with Monroes imo.

Anyway, neither of the bigger countries is goin to win, it's all about the politics...
 
spain's entry is flat out the most ****ing horrible thing i've ever listened to. just the idea of sending in a boy band in 2007 is appalling

(edit) omfg i didn't even know my country was participating this year!!1 make andorra win, ****ers!!1 the song's not that bad either, happy happy teenage punk
 
I went through all of them now. These are my favourites so far...

Awesome. Potential winners:

Russia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4qxb_275NM
Sweden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oKXIAqwujo
FYR Macedonia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfob_vghNoU

Great, but probably won't get enough votes to win:

France http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaSDXASzEgY
Israel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_h_rLKTLvs
Germany http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1pWn3qUgVg
Serbia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNRER8Vm0x8
Moldova http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfymDcGZpqY
Georgia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZuIh4mb34U

Songs that could end up high due to voting of teen audience:

Poland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7505mVOOI8
Turkey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aruZ-GZWlis
Spain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_evYD8A5gWk
UK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kNoAddyUMQ

Good

Portugal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqAgNpgGR_I

Hilarious, but will score lots of points:

Ukraine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHR491s3iSw

Great singing, but lacks good act, good lyrics or excitement/action...
All in all, good songs, but not for Eurovision:


Denmark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9n1THAY4W8 (this one belongs in the hilarious category as well...)
Hungary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p03RG-UnmoM
Ireland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TlGREikBRA
The Netherlands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrtRXCG9XP8
Iceland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntrIRSGX68k
 
holy crap, we are in the final :lol

and one big WTF to the semifinal voting. List of countries that qualified:
- Bulgaria
- Belarus
- Serbia
- FYR Macedonia
- Slovenia
- Georgia
- Moldavia
- Turkey
- Hungary
- Latvia
 
Oddly there were 4 or 5 songs i quite liked tonight, usually there'd be maybe 2 in the whole thing. I voted for Belarus, Iceland, and Slovenia (yeah...) Like last year i think iceland was robbed. But I'm pleased Hungary got through and that Harry Potter woman from serbia.

I have no idea why people vote for garbage like that god-awful Bulgarian song ...
