Eurovision Song Contest

[misscam]

IT BEGINS.

Let's talk all Eurosong in the comments. Songs, costumes, voting, politics, wank... BRING IT ON EUROPE.

ETA: IT ENDS.

Hahahaha voting.

ETA the second: Dear Finland, I love you quite a bit and wish you all well BUT STOP WITH THE EFFING SANTA IN MAY.

The song hasn't even finished, but for shame, Spain. For shame! Those white suits, the thight t-shirts... eek!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The Norwegian commentator called them "the four dancing deoderants". I laughed.

It was horrid.

[me2you.livejournal.com]

The pretty Spanish boys need some kind of recognition for that terrible dance routine, though the one in the jacket really ought to be shot for putting absolutely no effort into it whatsoever.

Also, I apologise in advance for that piece of crap we're about to come out with.

Yay Eurovision! I only watch you for Terry's fantastic commentary but never doubt that I enjoy every minute of it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It is so madly enjoyable, yeah. You try to be all snarky about it, but a par of you is just totally into it, heh.

Hmmm Finland.

[waterfall8484]

Since my mum's in the theatre I'm happy to join in... it's better than desperately trying to finish my paper.

So far I've discovered that neither the guy from Belarus nor the woman from Ireland can really sing.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The Belarus one was definitely better in the rather posh video.

Norway and Sweden definitely takes this all very seriously, heh.

[falena]

I just realised I'm missing out watching it without a commentary.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh man yeah.

The BBC has the best commentary out there, by general consensus.

[fried-flamingo.livejournal.com]

My vote goes to Bucks Fizz. What?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Haven't heard that one yet, actually.

[cedara]

The Finnish Lady looked cool and had a good voice. I even understood what she was singing about.

I'm impressed by the volume of Slovenia's opera singer.

So far.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Slovenia brought on a lot of what what what WHAT for me, I'm afraid.

Finnish one could sing, yeah.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh dear God Slovenia.

[waterfall8484]

I know! The song, the voice, the opera, the dress, those really weird hand movements... I mean, she does have a good voice, but it's kind of misplaced. Also, what's up with that light?

According to the commentator it cured her cold...

[wendymr.livejournal.com]

Oh, I miss Terry Wogan and Eurovision!

But here's my prediction: all the Slavic and Baltic countries will vote for each other (again) and it'll be won by some bizarre song from Slovroatania ;)

[waterfall8484]

Where are you then, without Eurovision?

Well, that's the fun about this kind of thing, it's mostly random. :~P

[falena]

Slovenia's dress reminded me of this:

[misscam.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA.

It was so that, yes.

Camilla says:
omg Ricky Martin
Elisa says:
this is awful
Camilla says:
YES
Elisa says:
if only he had ricky's yummy bum...
Elisa says:
no such luck
Camilla says:
it's like Ricky Martin mated with Dolly Parton
Camilla says:
and they had *that*

[sarie-gamgee.livejournal.com]

Plus Maria? Total Ricky Martin rip-off.

[manicr.livejournal.com]

Greece annoys me, he can't sing and the effing song gets stuck in my head :(

And WTF are they wearing? Toilet paper and bungy-cords?

[falena]

Ricky Martin should sue that lame-ass Greek singer.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

VOTE FOR CICERO!

We'll need it?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What do you offer in ways of voting bribes?

[manicr.livejournal.com]

The Ark, what to say... very flashy as always.

The Swedish commentator always goes nuts over them, personally I think they were better the first time around i heard this song - he doesn't seem to have the same energy. A pity.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It was okay, but I'm not sure it has what it takes. Might do well still, though.

[waterfall8484]

Seriously (and I can't believe I'm saying this...): Go Sweden! :~D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Points for undressing.

Help, there's something wrong with me!

[falena]

The day has come when I root for les cousins translapins. DOOM!
Allez les bleus pink!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Eurosong eats everyone's soul sooner or later.

[sarie-gamgee.livejournal.com]

OMG the French with a cat on his shoulder!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

OMG THE PINK AM BLIND.

[rionaleonhart]

I feel I liked the French entry perhaps rather more than I should have, given its, y'know, utter ridiculousness.

Although I can't really comment on other countries' ridiculous entries, can I? Blasted UK Eurovision songs.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hah, I feel confident in blasting anyone, and Norway is infamous for suckitude.

France was... Different, I'll give them that.

[cedara]

I think Roger Cicero did his gig perfectly.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

BURN THE HAT.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

UKRAINE.

[manicr.livejournal.com]

Ukraine cracks me up, totally awesome! The Swedish newspapers have been calling them the result of a teletubby who mated with a disco-ball. XD

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Best one yet, LOL.

[waterfall8484]

Romania was really cute... simple, fast, weird, multilingual, and of course with dancing men. That's usually a plus.

[waterfall8484]

Bulgaria on the other hand... :~/

Nice drums, though.

[skfatal.livejournal.com]

oh my god, it's grong brie ;) and i don't have a tv!

well, at least you guys are saving me. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's being streamed various places on the Net. But we're on the second last entry now.

Then voting, which is another kind of fun.

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Bulgaria, I'd say. Moldavia isn't bad either, if you like some rock. But where has she got her costumes from - Cher's wardrobe???

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Someone cut them up too. Disgraceful.

[waterfall8484]

Oh no - it's Father Christmas...

[manicr.livejournal.com]

As a Finn, I am very ashamed for that ploy.

FINLAND! WHAT'S WITH THE CHRISTMAS THEME!????
