Mr-Paul Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Except they sing "I'm running, I'm scared tonight". =P Didn't get why Sweden got so high, it sucked. So did Blue, not good at all. Actually a lot of the songs on top were just meh. Italy came out of nowhere though! Nice surprise heh. I knew that, it just sounds funnier if you think of it with my lyrics :p
Eenuh Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I knew that, it just sounds funnier if you think of it with my lyrics :p Hahah ok. Half of the songs are barely understandable really. Switzerland for example was quite bad with the English heh. I wish Moldova scored higher, I actually quite liked that. Funky trumpets! =P
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I thought it was a bit shit how most of the countries sang in English. Sing in your own native language, you fiends.
Mr-Paul Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I was surprised at how crap Estonia did. I expected them to do a lot better.
Grazza Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Cor, those Spanish women were sexy! Ireland and Moldova both gave me a huge chuckle, but I think I must have funny ears, as I thought Serbia had the best song. Oh well.
Mr-Paul Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Detailed semi final results. Greece won their semi... that I do not understand AT ALL.
Eenuh Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Man, Belgium was one place away from being placed haha. Not that the song was any good, but still. Feel bad for the group.
mcj metroid Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Well Oh well Jedward did about as well as to be expected. I thought Sweden should have won... Nothing madly impressive around, although Blue were VERY poor to be fair.
Frank Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I thought it was a bit shit how most of the countries sang in English. Sing in your own native language, you fiends. Yes! Yes! Yes! That really annoyed the shit out of me. It's just so...ughr. You'd think they'd sing in German, at least, considering it's the most widely spoken "mother tongued" language in Europe. (Wanted Jedward to win. I don't understand the hype for Sweden. Pretty dire, I thought.)
Coolness Bears Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 That country that I cannot spell won. They were so bad. Germany ftw. greatest woman in the history of ever. I haven't even begun hyperbole yet. :p
drahkon Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Germany ftw. greatest woman in the history of ever. I haven't even begun hyperbole yet. :p I agree. Edit: Oh yeah, haven't seen it...who won? Was the German chick sexy? Edited May 15, 2011 by drahkon
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yes! Yes! Yes! That really annoyed the shit out of me. It's just so...ughr. You'd think they'd sing in German, at least, considering it's the most widely spoken "mother tongued" language in Europe. (Wanted Jedward to win. I don't understand the hype for Sweden. Pretty dire, I thought.) Well, since English is the prime international language, it makes more sense than German to me. But yes, it'd be lovely to hear more countries sing in their own languages. For what appeared on the surface to be mostly a joke song, Moldova's entry was actually pretty good.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 She looked really thin on stage. Her waist looked absolutely tiny. Great arse, though. Well done, Germany. The best Arse you've produced since Jens Lehmann.
Jimbob Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Oh dear, i didn't expect the UK to win at all. But, i expected the UK to finish above Jedward. And we couldn't even do that. Dear oh dear, i need to rest.
Beast Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Oh dear, i didn't expect the UK to win at all. But, i expected the UK to finish above Jedward. And we couldn't even do that. Dear oh dear, i need to rest. That just tells you everything, doesn't it. According to Europe, Jedward are better than Blue and, I must say, after hearing their performance last night (missed it due to Britain's Got Talent), they actually were better than us so Blue did deserve to be beaten by them. It must be embarrassing for Blue, a successful boyband who have had a few number #1s, sold loads of albums and have most probably had sell-out tours, to be beaten by Jedward. I say well done to Jedward, they were actually better than Blue that night. Blue weren't great that night, in fact they were borderline terrible, but I liked the song. Also yes, the Germany woman was great
ReZourceman Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Jedwards song is better than Blue's tbh. Blue's is a bit of a "Ehhh" its just "I can" as the first chorus segment is not very impactful and when following Lee's powerful vocal twangs of the verse it made the chorus lacking big beats and ultimately was unsatisfying. Sweden were fucking shiiiiiiit. Claire and I were laughing at it when it came on. Then when they started getting Croissant et deux a point elle a poissons des journalie, our expressions went from laughing to "Huuuuuhhhh". Whaaaaaaaaaatttt/gradually increasing in pitch/ Purses lips.
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Only caught the points awardings stage and witnessed the winning song. Nothing really special, but all the girls would recieve some hardcore action. Austria are dead to me. "Fuck you."
Platty Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I liked Moldova, Iceland and Switzerland. All were robbed of the win.
Jimbob Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Once again proving that this is no longer "Eurovision" but "Riggovision".
Jonnas Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Once again proving that this is no longer "Eurovision" but "Riggovision". Yes, I'm sure Azerbaijan is a country of great political influence... But seriously, the UK sucked. UK usually sucks, honestly. And every year, I see some Brit complain that the contest is rigged against their favour, as if they are blind to their own act. So, seriously, even if you never win, don't go blaming it on someone cheating. It's a music contest where results shouldn't matter, acting like this only lessens any enjoyment that can be gained from the show.[/rant]
EddieColeslaw Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yes, I'm sure Azerbaijan is a country of great political influence... All of the Eastern European countries clearly concentrated on voting for each other, in terms of rigged-up-ness. I mean, Azerbaijan's song REALLY did not stand out (to me, at least). I just Youtubed Blue's song. They're decent singers, but the song and performance were so terribly bland. It didn't stand out at all. In fact I forgot I was listening to them halfway through and wandered away from my laptop. Not good...

As Eddie said, the Eastern European countries all vote high for each other thus. The songs over in that direction may not be any good, but somehow they win.
