Yay!! tomorrow comes this years Eurovision, and this time in Estonia [img]smile.gif[/img] ! im very happy because of this. from somewhere i heard that Finland thought that such a small country couldnt do it. Ha [img]smile.gif[/img] !

for those of you who dont know what Eurovision is(most americans, i bet), it is a big contest where all countries of europe represent 1 song and then the countries vote for eachother.

this is soo exciting :D ! im sure Germany will come up with an.. interesting song, as always(in Eurovision 2000, they had Stefan Raab - Wadde Hadde Dudde Da(i think it means "what do you have under your dress" or something :D ) and though some think Estonia will win again, they will NOT, im sure of it.

you actually watch this ? I think all songs are crap, all of em !

yeah, i do. i think its fun to watch which country will win and stuff.

though i agree. atleast 90% of Eurosongs suck :D !

I sure hope we'll do better then last year. We had such high expectations:(

90% of the songs suck? But that would imply that 10% are good. Which is not consistent with what ive seen of the contest.

Hah you have to have at least ONE favorite song!

dude, don't you know ? Last year our song was so bad, we aren't even allowed to compete this year. Aren't we lucky ?

Hah you have to have at least ONE favorite song!</font>[/QUOTE]nope, not from that contest. Every, and i do mean every song sucks big time.

I've always wanted to visit Tallinn, I hear it's really nice.

heh, you are one of few who ever know what Talllinn is [img]smile.gif[/img] .
and ya spelled it right too ;) .

umm, i said atleast 90%. though i cant name any good eurosongs right now..

Are top fifty billboard musicians allowed to compete or do you have to be a amateur?

it's mostly newcomers, well known singers don't take the risk to loose their reputation. sometimes there are singers who don't even get ten points. You never hear from them again.

I mean, there are certain artists whose mere presence could already make them win the Songfestival, it wouldn't even matter if the song sucked or not. :D

On the other hand, abba became famous after winning the contest, so sometimes it works out well.

Good heavens, a well-traveled geography nut American! Who has a passport and *uses* it! And who knows what and where places like Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius are! I hope I didn't give you too big a scare. ;)

Anyway, I have heard nice things about it, can you tell me what Tallinn is like?

for heavens sake, you know those cities!? youre like the only american who knows em [img]smile.gif[/img] .
sorry, i really dont know how to describe Tallinn(you gotta see it yourself ;) ). it is very beautiful and it looks old

Malta came second! Grrr...I have Maltese background, so I would have loved Malta to win.

Denmark came LAST [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

and there was much rejoicing [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

This means that we can't take part next year => no euruvision song contest for nearly two years - pure bliss [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Lucky you... We Dutchies have to go through that crap all over again next year already. :(
