Posted May 29, 2010 Is nobody else watching this this year? There's usually a thread here every year... Anyway, just watching it now, apparently I heard Ireland are one of the favs to win, would be nice to finally win it again but I'm hoping for Turkey to win. A nice rock band, reminds me of when Lordi won it (sans costumes), plus I love the name "MaNga", any rock and/or anime fan should be voting for these, haha... if anything to piss off the people who would think rock still doesn't belong in the Eurovision \m/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Hey, I'm watching too. Ireland and Turkey were great. But I liked Belgium the most. Also, I think the Portuguese song is nothing special. And I usually like them. Oh, and LOL at France Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 29, 2010 Yes, I find this intermission more awesome than most of the songs, to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 LOL at Russia... too funny! Greece were good, but... France FTW!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Was it just me that thought the person from Serbia was a woman until Norton declared otherwise. He was the most effeminate looking man I've ever seen. Nothing particularly great this year. At a push, I'd say Turkey were the best. But I do admit that the intermission bit was better than everything else.

Posted May 29, 2010 Ive watched the recaps but thats it, no country seemed to stand out for me this year. Kind of wish id done something with my friends for it now though as weve done in the past, bored here at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 France should win. Serbia was a guilty pleasure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Graham Norton is being a bitch. Excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Serbia was a guilty pleasure. Campy songs are always so fun, right? Belgium is doing great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Seems like Germany takes it this year. It's my favourite so I hope so. Poor Norway. Pretty much everyone in Norway predicted Norway to win again. My top 5 were Germany Romania Moldova Azerbaijan Armenia Edited May 29, 2010 by Tales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Did anyone catch the Graham Norton comment about the Iceland lady enjoying peanuts? Me and Ine were in tears. My top five were: Albania Moldova France Greece Denmark With Belgium up there. Also that Armenian singer had fantastic...apricots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Okay, I really like Germany's song, but I really don't like her voice! It's like she semi-sings, making it sound like she's out of key. EDIT: Oh, and her accent being thick doesn't help. Edited May 29, 2010 by Dannyboy-the-Dane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Who gave us our undeserving points?... Ireland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Did anyone catch the Graham Norton comment about the Iceland lady enjoying peanuts? Me and Ine were in tears. You know, Norton's no Wogan but he's certainly much better this year than last. More 'catty' especially when it's come to some of the people giving out the results. He's made some cracking comments, such as the one you mentioned. So yeh, Germany has basically won. I didn't really listen to the song but from what I heard it wasn't awful. UK at the bottom. Oops. But I will say I think we only did well last year because of Andrew Lloyd Webber being associated with the entry but really, it's no surprise that we've come last. We really should do something different from the norm instead of the pop stuff. Worked for Finland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the UK just tries to "out-sing" the others. I'd love to see us give a performance like Greece did, or France even. The true winners of the night are the men. Thank you, Armenia.

Posted May 29, 2010 So Germany it is. The music is unusually catchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Who gave us our undeserving points?... Ireland? I think we gave ye some for sure. The Irish commentator is going mad Ireland did so poor, doesn't bother me much, they always seem to go for the ballad or pop song (minus last years joke song), wish they'd get there head out there asses and try something with a bit more edge (ie: rock). I was very close with my Turkey prediction, but Germany just pulled away. Well done anyway:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 29, 2010 Lol I don't get why everybody went crazy with Germany. Like her hips though. thats because the song was number 1 in 21 countries before the competition, going platinum.. In that case ireland should have just done a u2 song Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2010 Hey! Congrats to Germany. Lena was my fav. (= I'm Turkish but I didn't like our song. The band is very popular in Turkey.
