Posted May 24, 2008 never would have guessed Montenegro would give the 12 points to Serbia I may go ladbrokes next year and ask for a sweepstake on what countries will vote for who cos it's so damn predictable I think I will easily win some moolah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 24, 2008 Effectively at the bottom on the league table. Why do we bother? It's so political, is it ever about the music? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 24, 2008 Effectively at the bottom on the league table. Why do we bother? It's so political, is it ever about the music? Before they started to let the public vote it was much less political... then again there weren't so many East European countries back then either... i'd like to see them try it again like it was before the public could vote and see if there's much politics in the votes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2008 Well, at least it wasn't Greece. And that ice skater is cool. But damn, 13th place? With 69 () points? Language has to have something to do with this. I bet we got votes from Andorra because they could understand some Portuguese. For next year: -Plan A: Support the Spanish separatist movements; -Plan B: Support the return of actual Eurovision judges. Apparently, the critics loved Portugal.

Posted May 24, 2008 I have another plan, put the eastern block back together together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2008 I have another plan, put the eastern block back together together. That would work...Just bomb some of those countries, and they would be forced to re-unite to survive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2008 Didn't we get 14 points last year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2008 The result from the semi-finals are out. Some interesting things, Ireland and Belgium was 15th and 17th in the first semi-final and Portugal got second place and Sweden was the wild card selected by a jury in the second semi-final.

Posted May 25, 2008 It's funny, because you listen to the cheesy people attempting to sing in English, and let's face it, it's absolutely atrocious. Music day-in, day-out is better than that in our country, as was our UK entry, yet the silly bastards in the east of Europe continuously vote for each other. Listening to the same airhead score announcers is really trying as well - at times it's difficult to believe the UK is part of Europe. It doesn't even make sense...why can't the Eastern countries take it less seriously and relax on who they vote for? For some people there it feels as if a bad Eurovision would mean they'd be shot afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 25, 2008 I think the Russian performance was awesome, strings, ice skating, win. Glad that Greek bitch didn't win it. Not surprised at UK failing but still saddened, it was a great effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2008 I'm quite sad that political voting came into effect once again last night, i see no point with the UK entering next year. We may as well enter the Chancellor Allister Darling next year and get him to read out his budget, may get more votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 25, 2008 Well Wogan has said he may not do another. I'd be equally pissed off to see it go to the shit after 30 years too, although for British viewers, he IS Eurovision. His commentary makes it worth watching. The best plan of action would be for all the founding nations to just pull out completely, that'll show those Soviet c**ts when they have no MONEY TO HOST THE EVENT!! mwaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2008 I'm confused. Why are people saying that France's performance was good? Sure, it was great driving onto the stage in a golf cart, but after that it was the worst (and dullest) song of the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
