Has anyone else been watching this and seen how dire it is? The commentry is the best but! (Or the english one is)
PLease, do NOT vote for the UK. People like them should not be encouraged.
I'm for Finland here

There are some really really bad ones, there are some really really good ones, and there are some that are made and tailored for Eurovision(Carmela for example).
I like the Winners, the Cosmos, Severina(ofcourse) and Lordi. Hari mata Hari wasn't too bad either, and Vissi was OK too.
I hated the UK's performance and Carmela. Does anyone else think UK ripped off Youth of the Nation a bit?

Yes, Lordi for the win! [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

And they have it!
Earned for them, I wish I could say the same for some others(Russia, Armenia, Sweden etc, Germany, UK...). I especially hate the rules of auto-continuation for UK, France and the like.

I usually skip the part where they are actually singing, because the whole field pretty much sucks every year. I try to keep track of the voting though, just to see if the Ukraine gives 12 points to Russia like they always do, and Cyprus 12 points to Greece, and England 12 points to Ireland, etc.... :D I have to say that i can fully understand why Italy stopped participating a few years back, with the entrance of all those former Soviet splinter states, the contest is even more rigged then it was ever before.

Speaking of the Ukraine, i saw Tina Karol on TV earlier this week, and she's hot. :D She can also actually sing, damn...what a voice she has, but i have to admit i was paying more attention to her legs than anything else. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

To be honest, the only song that I found at least remotely pleasing was, in my opinion, one of the best Eurovision songs ever (although that doesn't say much..): We Are The Winners. The idea for the song was simply crazy, the suits were classy and the dancing part was stunning. :D The whole song had an interesting egoistic bureaucratic feel to it, which I found refreshing. I'm surprised that Lithuania could pull off such a cool contribution to the show. :D

Finland won. Not something you see every day.

I have not seen this show in decades so it was funny to watch it again. Terry wogans sarcastic commentry was very funny and the voting was so rigged it was a scream. all the Balkan states voting for each other, Cyprus voting for greece, Andorra voting for spain [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Did anyone give France any points?

Bozos of Bones 05-23-2006 04:20 AM

We now have Montenegro for an additional vote [img]smile.gif[/img]
And I expect Kosovo to not be far off too. Many more votes are to be had :D
