Eurovision 2009

[RevdKathy]

I said that last year when Tel retired. You never really quit. It's like a drug.

 

[Raxor]

Ive moved being ashamed of admitting to watch it and just enjoy it for what it is

moving on, i think Azerbaijan will do pretty well after that.

 

[RevdKathy]

Yeah, that was pretty good considering.

 

[Angel4576]

Bosnia - Meh.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Don't underestimate the power of Russian voters...

Now for Azerbaijan... definitely more like it. And yet I'm reminded that we've yet to have a wardrobe malfunction of some form...

 

[RevdKathy]

I believe the german entry has one planned.

 

[Angel4576]

Well they can't vote for themselves of course. But let's lot underestimate just how much the former satellite states still fear offending the Russians by not voting for them.

 

[AdAstra]

Favourites so far: the Armenian witchy-sisters and Portugal!
And Patricia Kaas was very classy.

But Turkey-Belgium to win!

 

[RevdKathy]

Aha! Estonia have the first fiddle player. There's always one!

 

[AdAstra]

There's a few more coming!



Yuck, Ronan Keating leftovers.

 

[Raxor]

Estonia was alright, as well as the ladies performing it.

Graham was right, that guy is the spitting image of Ronan Keating.

 

[RevdKathy]

Why do all male singers stand as if they just got off a horse? Don't they have taxis in Moscow?

 

[AdAstra]

they were all busy singing kalinka!




Tight tinfoil pants are a big no-no, Germany! But the song is quite nice, imo.

 

[RevdKathy]

OOH goodie! A bloke in tinfoil!

 

[Angel4576]

Bizarrely, the wife spent most of the Danish entry trying to figure out whether the bloke had a plastic hand!

 

[RevdKathy]

Oh Lordie, that just needs Herr Flick!

 

[AdAstra]

Yay! Düm Tek Tek!

*bellydances*

 

[Angel4576]

Shame. A decent song on the German entry but completely ruined by the bloke's bakafoil trousers and Slapper Von Tees....

 

[RevdKathy]

I enjoyed the belly dance, even if it was a bit confused with other less elegant forms of dance. I'm taking time out for 'News'.

 

[AdAstra]

the Albanian entry sounds so generically Eurodance that nobody will remember it in 10 minutes time...
