Eurovision

[nightshade]

Who's going to be watching the Eurovision Song contest on Saturday? I'm watching the semi-final now and will be watching the final on Saturday night. I don't think that the UK will win it, but it would be great if we came within the top 10.

I'm watching it too 🙂

I love Eurovision, it's my guilty pleasure. I don't think the UK will do very well even with Blue, the rest of Europe don't seem to like us very much!

Hell yeah! I'm watching the semi right now too, I'm just hoping Sweden gets qualified this year!

ME ME ME ME ME. Because I'm a dork and also a fan since forever.

I'm rooting for GB, because I used to be such a huge Blue fan. My aunt has tickets for Eurovision and already is in Düsseldorf, promptly ran into them and sent me a gloating text about it. D: And I think it's really lame Germany sent Lena again. I didn't like her last year, like her even less now.

Watching the Eurovision semi-finals, too. I love Eurovision. 😀

I'm actually rooting for Ireland this time.

Jedward ftw! 😛

Moldova are AMAZING.

Unicyclists crossed with ska gnomes. Brilliant.

I didn't like it at first but soon realised my mistake and realised the brilliance of it. 😀

Definitely gonna watch, and hoping Shempy has the evening off, too (it's become a bit of a tradition watching ESC together).

I wonder how well Lena will do (unlike Mumrik, I frickin' love Lena *wants to steal her and hide her in my wardrobe* (sw))... but it's also awesome that Israel is entering Dana International again, the transgendered singer who won against Guildo Horn back in, IIRC, 1998. 😀

Now they've all sang, who do you think will go through?

Also I think that the UK may have a better chance with Romania

Honestly, there are no really good songs this year... Ireland will probably win cos people like that silly shit.

What is Eurovision? ???

The Eurovision Song Contest, a yearly excuse for a musical cheesefest somewhere in Europe. 😀

I'd like to formally apologise for Jedward on behalf of Ireland. It's all Louis Walsh's fault.

 

[Mumrik]

But it was awesome! Like Moldovia. Only catchier. XD

 

[sisterofmercy]

I loved the Belgian acapella group myself. They're different and didn't rely on backing music or flashy dance moves.

Sorry Kean, Jedward are through

 

[xaphania]

Am I the only one embracing the awesomeness that is Jedward?

😀 😛

I won't be able to watch since I won't be home. Croatia is not in the finals anyway. Good, since our song sucked! I'm keeping fingers crossed for Bosnia. Dino Merlin has an amazing voice.

I'm looking forward to Eurovision this year only because the UK doesn't have such an embarssing act. I think we picked right by asking Blue to do it and there song is catchy. Although I'm worried with knowing that Jedward apparently have a good chance of winning, even though they are terrible ha!
