Pre-eurovision Red Carpet Thread

No, no, no. Imagine that after American Idol is over, all those wonderful artists, winners and near-misses alike, are eagerly waiting for that big recording contract to come. They need to do something and they need to do it quickly, before the short-attention-span-afflicted audiences that love them forget they ever existed. Enter the Eurovision Song Contest. Wearing underwear and leather slacks.

Some of it is; some of it is like the worst "folklorique" entertainment your tour guide can find when he/she is really annoyed with you.

Nah, most eurovision contestant actually have some talent but the process and requirement make it very difficult show that talent -- kind of like asking Cindy Lauper to sing Aida.

Of course I haven't watch Eurovision since 1975 or 1976 when I was stationed in England and the scars have mostly faded. :p

Must see TV! I wonder if they show it on BBCA (America). We get Graham Norton, after all. :)
 
... and your point is?

(actually don't you have to be european to enter?:confused:)

The contest is SUPPOSED to be about the song.

You can chose anyone to sing it.

Anyone who has been badly advised might think it will improve their career.

Europe, as defined by Eurovision, includes Russia and Israel...

Well, I bet Nina Hagan could have (sang Aida for those who don't know much about eary punk) ! :D
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Nina could -- Cindy Lauper's pop-singing and speaking voices give a somewhat negatively biased impresssion of her true ability. I've actually hear Cindy sing opera (but couldn't tell you if it was Aidia or something else) and she's actually not that bad (to my untutored ear.)
 
Eurovision works with "areas of influence" more than geography. Even Morocco entered the contest a while ago. :D
 
I've been told there will be a French hippie, a substantial amount of Eastern European tits-and-ass parades, and a 75 year old rapper.
 
Romania:

We already had two Iglesias, and both had bigger dicks.

( Tuxedo jacket, undone bow-tie and jeans? Where are the high-tops? :confused: )
 
It's Tradition, no?;)

But this year, you guys went ahead and started without me - oh, well, I WAS a little late.:kiss:
