Grazza Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 This is just a heads-up. Thanks to the Danes, Eurovision is one week earlier this year, with the first semi-final tonight. Semi-final 1 - 8pm, Tuesday 6 May, BBC3 Semi-final 2 - 8pm, Thursday 8 May, BBC3 Final - 8pm, Saturday 10 May, BBC1 Will there be anything that equals the rhythmic brilliance of this? Or anything to match the sheer, barnstorming nature of this? Probably not, but either way, 7 hours, 25 minutes of Eurovision awaits!
Jonnas Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Grazza, I see we liked similar songs acts I can say that the Portuguese song we're sending is very much hated around here. Usually we're just indifferent, but this time, people are actively hating it. It's not an intentionally bad/comedic song like a few years back, either, it's just a rather poor/generic Lambada. Should be amusing to see if it passes the semi-final.
Mr-Paul Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I'm personally hoping for something that lives up to this -
Beast Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I actually like the UK's song! Shocker! Spain's song is awesome too! There were a couple of other ones that were great as well.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I liked Armenia and Sweden's entries. I also really liked the stage and the presentation of the show in general.
Grazza Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Ukraine is my favourite so far. Genuinely think the UK has a good chance this year too.
M_rock Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I really liked the song from the netherlands, because it's just a simple good song :p Don't ever talk about Belgium's entry because I will cry
Mr-Paul Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I liked Armenia and Sweden's entries. I also really liked the stage and the presentation of the show in general. Armenia is the favourite, but I wasn't impressed to be honest. Like Grazza, I enjoyed Ukraine; also liked Hungary and the bearded teletubby men of Iceland :p
Grazza Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Armenia is the favourite, but I wasn't impressed to be honest.Like Grazza, I enjoyed Ukraine; also liked Hungary and the bearded teletubby men of Iceland :p Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to seeing Austria's entry tomorrow.
Tales Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Wouldn't bother me at all if Norway doesn't make it. Hate the song :p .
Grazza Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Hmm, well I don't love any this year, but I suppose Ukraine and Belarus are my picks for the final.
Beast Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Okay so mine is UK, Spain, Armenia, Austria, Greece, Romania and the women with the huge tits because, well, tits. Funnily enough, I forgot what song they sang and what country they represented, they titmatised me! EDIT: Found out, it was Poland! x) Edited May 8, 2014 by Animal
Jonnas Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 In this house, we didn't get to see Portugal fail, but we still made plenty of fun of that awful song. We did watch some stuff tonight, though, but really the only thing we discussed was Conchita Wurst. So I guess I know who I'm rooting for Okay so mine is UK, Spain, Austria, Romania and the women with the huge tits because, well, tits.

Oh yeah, we also discussed those puppies Was that the bearded man dressed as a woman? I thought that song was good but wow, Poland...wow...not only were they fit but the woman at either end of the stage washing clothes and pumping butter (giggity!) stole the show for me! x) Crap, totally forgot Sweden too!
Jonnas Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Was that the bearded man dressed as a woman? The conclusion we reached was that she must be a transsexual who uses the beard as part of her image. No, we didn't really discuss the song itself Also, the French were singing about a moustache. What is it with Europe and facial hair this year? Edited May 9, 2014 by Jonnas
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I found Switzerlan's entry very catchy, and I also liked ... I think it was Slovenia?
Grazza Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Was that Poland? Oh yeah, we also discussed those puppies I was too busy letting the steam out of my shirt! Was that the bearded man dressed as a woman? I thought that song was good but wow, Poland...wow...not only were they fit but the woman at either end of the stage washing clothes and pumping butter (giggity!) stole the show for me! x) The chap from Austria had a good voice, and a much better beard than I can grow!
Sheikah Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I'll be watching tomorrow. Fillet steak to help wash this down.... my body is ready for the inevitable but reassuring shitness our country produces. Aww yeah.
Grazza Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 I'll be watching tomorrow. Fillet steak to help wash this down.... my body is ready for the inevitable but reassuring shitness our country produces. Don't take too big a bite when Poland's on...
Beast Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I really like Boobland Poland. Their video is the best one ever. I've seen it quite a few times today! x)

Fierce_LiNk Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I watched both of the qualifiers. The second one seemed to be higher in *ahem* quality than the first. Dat Poland entry. Hnnnngggggggggggg. Finland's entry was pretty good, imo.
Tales Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Wow, congrats to Austria. Considering their history with the competition I guess it's their greatest victory since WWII. Good songs from the top 5. I voted for GB, but you were all good this year. GB, send songs like that and you will win it eventually, promise. Did I see wrong, or did landlocked (by Italy) San Marino give 0 points to Italy?
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 The right winner won. I'm happy that The Netherlands came second, they were my overall favourite act. Can't believe the UK didn't get more points. Best song we've had for years, but the competition was tougher this year. Is it just me, or was the quality pretty decent this time around? France, though. I didn't think that they would finish last.
Shorty Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Personally I'm not clear on why a shit James Bond theme won. Because beard?
