The European Madness Festival

[Liar]

The Czechs gave Azerbaijan 10 points? I thought they had taste and class there.

You obviously didn't see their entry.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Can you believe that is actually a popular Swedish comedian???

 

[freshface]

Is anyone surprised that Norway got 12 votes from Sweden?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Is anyone surprised that Norway got 12 votes from Sweden?

No, but the 10 points to Iceland were funny too.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Is anyone surprised that Norway got 12 votes from Sweden?

Yes, I am. I didn't think they cared for us that much. I mean, I wouldn't vote for Sweden.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

The gayest the better.

If I ever enter this contest, I'll just ask myself What Would Brian Boitano Do.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

OK, so Russia won. Oh, well. Atleast next year we'll have artists wearing clothes.


WHAT??? We got more points than Finland??? I don't believe it!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Portugal ended in 13th. Not humiliating.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

OK, so Russia won. Oh, well. Atleast next year we'll have artists wearing clothes.

I wouldn't exactly bet too much money on it, though.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

21st. Way better than we deserved.

Iceskating, Russia, early spring... I think we're at better odds than in sunny Greece.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Cute tummy.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

We shall see.

I'm off now. See you again next year!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I miss the iceskater. Oh, there he is!

Bye, Lauren. How's Charley? Still alive and breathing?

 

[oggbashan]

The UK last again.

It's nice to know that we have annoyed most of Europe...

I just heard the UK commentator's thoughts on the news. What sore losers you people are. LOL

The UK commentator is IRISH!

I don't think it was because the UK lost but because the voting system is now so biased that a good song can't win if it's from the wrong country.

Personally I think the UK entry was crap and deserved NUL points but there were other songs that deserved much better than they got.

The higher votes from most countries can now be predicted for next year's contest even without knowing what the entries will be.

I hope that the UK does not compete next year or is eliminated in the semifinals. The Eurovision Song Contest has tended to reflect political groupings in the past. To a certain extent that was understandable. A Swedish song is likely to appeal to Denmark, Norway, Iceland; a song from part of the former Yugoslavia is likely to appeal to other Balkan countries - but now that process has gone too far.

I think that Russia would probably have won anyway but the rest of the voting didn't reflect the quality of the entry - as a Eurovision song.
