Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)

[Eyes]

I lol'd at the British boy band. Couldn't take them seriously.

Nah, it's fine. We do have a reputation for boybands though, and it's far better than anything we've sent for a while, so I think it's about the best we could do in Eurovision. At least we won't come last again, I hope.

I like a rock song, me, so was surprised that Turkey didn't go through. Only someone with a heart of stone wouldn't vote for Iceland.

Turkey pretty much did the same thing as last year, only it wasn't quite as good. It'll do them good to sit on the sidelines for once. They're getting too used to their final pass and their top 10 placing. As for that matter are Greece, only they got through this time.
Iceland.. hmmm... The song itself is average. I mean, the way they're doing it is nice, so hopefully they'll give a good performance tomorrow to show it deserves its place in the final on quality.

What happened at the end of Sweden's song, there was a censor box when he turned around. Was he wearing arseless chaps or something?

Edit: Ignore that. Just looked at it on Youtube, its just someone holding up a sign that makes it look like a censor box.

 

[RevdKathy]

Not the same without Wogan.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Not the same without Wogan.

Not at all, but that's what the beer is for.

 

[Captain Shaw]

I think Jedwood are getting a lot of help from the backing singers.
Thank god.
I wonder what intro video they have made for Greece.

 

[Jax]

If Jedwood get more votes than the UK, we should declare war on Europe

 

[RevdKathy]

France seem to have found a lost song from Les Mis!

 

[Eyes]

Italy was dire. Really dire.

Sweden were brilliant, but I always knew they would be.

 

[cultcross]

Switzerland is dull as dishwater. Banal and irritating, so should do well.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Irritating? Surely that means Jedward win?

 

[Captain Shaw]

The mics are not loud enough.

 

[cultcross]

OK, Blue weren't that bad. Fairly impressed.

 

[Jax]

Next time can the UK entry actually sing a little louder and WHAT THE HELL are the people from Moldova wearing on their fucking heads

 

[Captain Shaw]

This is the first time I have watched it.
Do we normally get people who dress so strange?

 

[Shaytan]

At least they look a little less boring

 

[Eyes]

Moldova were good for the hats alone. Most performance ever.

Germany's entry is good because Lena is hot.

 

[Shaytan]

Bof, Germany was boring, the UK was ridiculous (wow, you have still boybands ?? ) and I already forgot about the rest

I will say nothing about the corsican language...I respect corsincan people...and corsican mothers...and corsican sisters...and corsican secrets...

 

[RevdKathy]

Was it me or was the UK song oddly lacking in melody?

Loved the trumpet playing gnomes, great reference to pointed hats in history and myth. Quite the discussion started about gold bronze age wizards caps!

The backing dancers to Lena looked like the sperm in "everything you ever wanted to know..."

Is it bedtime yet?

 

[Captain Shaw]

Who likes the Romania act more than our own?

Sheepishly raises hand
