Grazza Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Don't forget the first semi-final tonight, at 8pm. It's on BBC3, but I don't know which other channels it's on. I wonder if Jedward will be on tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 They're in the other semi final. Voted for Switzerland, Poland and Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Portugal got a chuckle out of me, just the song and the spelling error in of their signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Apparently we couldn't vote here in this semi-final. I didn't really follow it all that closely, but Azerbaijan really grabbed my attention. I liked both the song and choreography very much. Oh, and I love shows like the one right now, with all the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Lithuania sounded like a Disney song. Portugal's was a joke. Liked the Swiss one. Quite liked Armenia. Mostly crap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I didn't watch all the songs, but Portugal was definitely one of the worst haha. My dad was just shaking his head during it going "oh dear". =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Portugal's was a joke. Yup. And I couldn't stop thinking of Jonnas. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hey, don't compare me to those buffoons! Portugal is getting a worse image out there because of those guys. Truth be told, pretty much only Switzerland grabbed my attention of those songs. Are we really the only ones with a memorable* act? *(for the wrong reasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What the frak. Before the contest we were predicted to reach at least top 5 in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What the frak. Before the contest we were predicted to reach at least top 5 in the final. Yeah, the Danish commentator was really surprised you didn't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Best part of this all: The loud screeching sound that came from my living room when Iceland was announced for the finals last. Bit of a surprise for me, always found it really dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 My voting: 12 Georgia 10 Switzerland 8 Norway 7 Turkey 6 Azerbaijan 5 Poland 4 Croatia 3 Armenia 2 Albania 1 Hungary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No Norway, no Turkey, and no Armenia. And they all usually do very well. Was praying that Russia didn't get through as you just know they'll mop up loads of votes. Listening to old Eurovision songs now I'm in the mood. Really loved Lena last year. Like her one this year but it isn't the type of song to win. I actually think Blue are gonna do very well. Even though I can't stand them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I couldn't watch it live, but I watched the repeat last night and my favourite was Serbia. Didn't stay up for the results, but I see they got through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It's the 2nd semi-final tonight. I'm looking forward to Jedward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I listened to it just now. Is it a really a favourite? I wouldn't imagine it even qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It's the 2nd semi-final tonight. I'm looking forward to Jedward. ...looking forward to seeing Jedward not qualify and hopefully come last And I'm bloody Irish... this is prolly the first time I've ever hoped we don't do well at something.... guess this is what RTÉ felt like when they were trying to not have to host this thing yearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Am I the only one who thought the acts tonight suffered from a pretty low microphone level? Of course, it may just have been because of nervousness, but many of them sounded like they had to almost strain their voices to make themselves heard over the music.

Tales Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Estonia was supposed to sound like that, the rest I don't know about. I never really notice things like that and bad voice etc. I just listen to the music. Favourites tonight: Bosnia & Herzagovenia, Austria, Ukraine, Cyprus, Slovenia and Estonia. It's unfair we were the only Nordic country not to qualiy I miss the golden age of 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I listened to it just now. Is it a really a favourite? I wouldn't imagine it even qualifies. Yeah, apparently there's been a betting surge on it. Personally, I still haven't heard it (going to watch the repeat tonight). Hope it's good. It's unfair we were the only Nordic country not to qualiy I miss the golden age of 2009 Yeah, it is a shame you're not in it, but chin up. "Fairytale" was great and I'm still singing it to this day.

Agreed, it was a really good song. I found out that Jedward's song was written by at least one Dane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I love "Fairytale", I listen to it almost every week when I run. Great lyrics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 What's your favourite eurovision song? Also what's the best song YOUR country has released. I'm going for this on both counts( Biased I know ) lovely and sweet song. It won for Ireland in 1994. It's also depressing.. Certainly a song that wouldn't win it these days...

Grazza Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Well, I've watched both semi-finals and my favourites this year are Serbia and Ireland. Let's see how they do! (MCJ - I'll have a think and answer your question in a few days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It's time! Was going to go put some bets on but couldn't be bothered to walk to the bookies! I'm cheering for Germany and Moldova, can't remember who else I liked so there might be a few more! Who's everyone else supporting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
