The Eurovision thread

[Svenskaflicka]

I leave you alone for half an hour, and you don't start the thread?

I missed the beginning. SO far I've only seen a colorful Portugal and a pretty Icelandic dress.

Come ON, people! Where's our annual mud-flinging?

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Oh my god, here comes the Greek Hasselhoff-wannabe...

 

[Svenskaflicka]

lol! The Sewdish commentaries thanked the 12-year-old boy who lend out his T-shirt to the lead singer.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

The Armenian girl is really talented - it's not EASY to sing a completely different melody than what the orchestra is playing.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Russia....

strange, I thought I read that it was for GERMANY that Dita von Teese was going to participate?

 

[Svenskaflicka]

So, what do I think about thie year's contest?

-Well, it's not too bad, atleast people are fully dressed, unlike that spectacle in Greece a few years ago.

Not too many weirdos this year. Last years' participants were funnier, hanging laundry on stage and whatnot...

-Yeah, but they got weeded out in the preliminaries. I liked the guy with the weird hair who sang about shoes.



*Svenskaflicka talking to herself since no-one else seems interested in this thread*

Some of us needed a reminder.

Russia should have considered investing in a costume. Azerbaijan is nice, but she looks a little bionic with the gold leg.

I've just tuned in and it was...well, eurovision. drummer girls in cream and a big red flag. nice.

 

[freshface]

You have to love the charm and charisma shown by Russian police.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Hurrah! People!


I like Moldavia - it's upbeat and colorful, and the title is hilarious in Swedish: Hora Din Moldovia == Whore Yours Moldovia.

Provided you can afford it...

 

[English Lady]

I love the Moldovian ladies skirt, it's lovely! Not sure I could pull it off though.

 

[freshface]

I like her back up dancers.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Awww, finally! A BFW! Go, Malta!

 

[English Lady]

Oooooh, sparkly dress! Malta lady can sing.

 

[English Lady]

Estonia lady is looking at me with murder in her eyes! Scary lady+ classical instrument doesn't make her any less scary.

 

[freshface]

At least she has feelings toward the violin.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

It's a funny fact that whatever charcteristics the winner of the contest has; group-dancing, violin playing, lesbians, whathaveyou; the following year you'll see a lot of participants imitating that. This year we have a lot of violin players, since the Russian skated and played violin last year.

You'd think they'd understand that what wins ONE year won't be as popular one year later - the lightning doesn't hit the same place twice, sort of thing.

 

[English Lady]

At least she has feelings toward the violin.

Yes, she wants to kill someone with it!



Denmark is...weird.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Denmark's nice and dance-friendly. Not something that will win, but you can just bet we'll hear it a lot on the radio and in the dance places this summer.

 

[freshface]

Too bad Denmark couldn't find someone who could sing.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

oooh, we're promised smut now!

 

[English Lady]

Denmark's nice and dance-friendly. Not something that will win, but you can just bet we'll hear it a lot on the radio and in the dance places this summer.

It was catchy, definitely.

 

[English Lady]

Oh my....Germany? What the...
