Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Voting isn't as political as people might think. The eurovision has vastly improved in quality over the last couple of years in my opinion. For a couple of years already, 50% of the votes are given by a professional jury in each country, and 50% come from televoting. And the silly stuff is a good laugh nonetheless Edited May 18, 2013 by M_rock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 I watched the semi-finals and all I'm going to say is... Greece to win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2013 I always laugh at how we/the British always moan about political voting. Maybe if we sent a good artist and with a good song, maybe we'd do better. Last year's winner was absolutely brilliant. I still listen to it to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Never been a fan of singing contests, I find them boring as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Now that you mentioned last year's winner... Germany's song sounded very similar to it. Meanwhile, Spain, France, Russia and Estonia seemed good so far. Lol, Finland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 That's it. Pack it up folks, aint nothing topping that Romanian masterpiece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Our entry is bleeeh. Why are we going for a ballad? I wish we did something that was a bit quicker and had more of an edge to it, or some kind of beat. It's slowwwww. I quite enjoyed Romania's entry, which brings their total fanbase to two. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Britain, it was as disappointing live as I expected it. If she only went for a I need a Hero - similar song we would see the contest in London next year.

We keep choosing the wrong types of songs and trying to get the "oh, a famous person" vote, which hasn't been working. We'll finish in the bottom 5, I expect.

Posted May 18, 2013 Just tuned in and the lady in white doesn't look bad. Song is horrible, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Norway I assume. Call me biased but I like her and the song:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 And I'll add Iceland, Denmark, Hungary and Greece to the songs I liked. Also Romania since, as far as insane stuff goes, it was pretty well made, and the guy does have an impressive voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Nothing that stood out particularly. At least not compared to last year with Loreen and Euphoria. That medley she did of her songs was by far the best performance. I'd say give it back to Sweden just for that performance. I see it being between Denmark, Germany (mainly because of Cascada's clout) and Greece. Thought Bonnie Tyler's voice didn't really carry well in that arena and the song wasn't great either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Looks like Denmark will win this. Glad to see Greece and Malta doing pretty well, they both sang well. Looks like the UK will finish in the bottom 5. Ireland aren't doing too well, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Thought the Swedish Smorgasbord thing was really good. Worth it just for: "In all the big cities The men don't have titties" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Poor, poor France and Spain At least I like the winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Thought the Swedish Smorgasbord thing was really good. Worth it just for: "In all the big cities The men don't have titties" That whole segment was fantastic. It shows that they have a fantastic sense of humour. Well done to Denmark for winning. I bet @Dannyboy\-the\-Dane is dancing in the streets right now.

Posted May 18, 2013 Well, I danced around the living room! That was amazing, and I'm so happy for Emmelie for winning. We had competition from some other great songs - I particularly liked the Netherlands and Norway - but there were also some truly surprising ones. I cannot get over the fact that Italy and especially Greece did so well - the former was boring as heck and the latter was completely ridiculous. Oh, yeah, and Sweden's smorgasbord song was ingenious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Greece was awesome. So catchy and good-humoured. But I can't see why Azerbaijan and Norway did so well. The former was bland (with a presentation that didn't make any sense, either), and Norway was like a clash of different things, none of them mixing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2013 Had a great time at the 'eurovision party'. We had a lot of drinking rules that helped make the evening fun! I'll write up what we played with tomorrow (if there's interest), and I'd definitely do it again. Ukraine lady can come stay in my place if she wants. Prrr.

Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) I bet Dannyboy pissed himself with excitement when Denmark won! Well deserved! I was rooting for it to win! Second time I got the winner right! (First was Euphoria). Love the song! Caught myself humming it this morning and then singing "ONLY TEAAAAAAAAAAAARDROOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS". Next year, can we enter with the Gladiators theme tune? We might have a chance then!
