This time they'll win.

 

[Parallax]

eurovision? what exactly is that?

 

[DECK'ARD]

The song by Pete Waterman is so utterly awful it could indeed win

 

[trinest]

@parallax, in Australia its the thing old people watch when they are bored because nothing else is on.

The guy looks like a mix of bloody Justian Biber with some other random "boy actor" and that cooking guy on Australia Mastercheif who wears the cravats.

eurovision? what exactly is that?

Imagine a contest designed to bring countries of the world together through music, and find the best song.

But set in a parallel universe.

-_-

 

[Feathers]

Seems par of the course (read: absolutely terrible), but I don't think anyone's watched Eurovision for good music in decades.

 

[How About No]

-_-

Sorry us mericans aren't privy to your freaky-deaky Dutch music teevee programs

 

[sprsk]

The lyrics for that song are some of the worst I've ever heard.

 

[flsh]

Nobody cares about the lyrics. A lot of performers sing in their native language anyways.
I totally forgot the eurovision existed until I saw this thread. Who knows how long until I forget about it again

 

[Funky Papa]

eurovision? what exactly is that?

Europe's walk of shame.

The eyes. Where are they looking?

 

[Stinkles]

Imagine a contest designed to bring countries of the world together through music, and find the best song.

But set in a parallel universe of gay evil.

fixed.

 

[micster]

Where are they looking?

Any chance of him having a career saying a final goodbye and walking out the door.

 

[mclem]

Already booked the lounge for a Eurovision party. Naturally.

Or rather, my housemate did. But at least he invited me!

so like an eurowide version of american idol, which is just an adaptation of a british show? is there some sort of prize

That's a good thing though, its a contest about who can write the worst lyrics.

 

[Wes]

After viewing the entrants it's clear the Dutch are always, always high.

 

[Brinbe]

Even as a Canadian this shit is good fun to watch. Can't wait :lol

 

[Flink]

That guy is hot, but he cannot sing. It'd be nice to see his penis, but it's probably uncut. Which I do not prefer.

American Idol is like the Grammy's compared to Eurovision.

It really has to be seen to be truly understood. The prize is fame if you are Eastern European or Scandinavian, or ridicule and shame if you are from anywhere else. The winning country gets to host it the next year.

The BBC's commentary during the show rips the piss out of it, it's a great few hours of comedy, but secretly we still want to win because we have to pay to put the damn thing on no matter which country it's in.

This is the problem when you get teenage girls voting by text for who you want to compete. The song was bad in all of it's forms though, never stood a chance.

At least this year there's no out and out favourite for the competition like Norway last year.

Our entry this year has provided us with a fair amount of hilarity due to his pronunciation of the English word 'heart'. So 'my heart is yours' becomes 'my hard is yours' :lol

 

[Phantast2k]

At least the German entry is cute (in a dorky way):

Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite

Spoiler

yes, there are nude pics available.

Excellent.

Graham Norton will run and run with this ...
