Meenzer 15347 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 OK, I resisted starting a thread the other night when the first semi-final was on, but if you've nowt better to do tonight, tune into BBC THREE at 8pm and enjoy the sheer pain that is Eurovision before they get rid of the rubbish stuff. We can even vote in it and everything! Saturday night is the real deal. Get the obscure Lithuanian beers in early before there's a run on Wetherspoons.

Is it because you are...... Just a big fan? Involved in running it? A former member of Bucks Fizz? Your Terry Wogan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13762 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I'd watch this but I'm hungover and the combination of bright lights, loud noises and colourful outfits might be a bit too much. I'll check in tomorrow to see the pick of the crumpet when they're inevitably posted on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15347 Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Enter a song like it's still 1992. Makes it about the third most modern thing in it. A friend of mine co-wrote the Irish entry but even he'd admit it's deliberately the most generic, tin whistle-playing, Titanic-evoking piece of lowest common denominator balladry. Well, he might not quite put it like that. Anyway, these are my two quiet little tips for tonight, if the people want a bit of guitar with their cheese: Which probably means we'll end up in Tbilisi next year or something.

That's it in a nutshell, could have won the eurovision a few years ago with that but the Titanic-esque ballads don't seem to do as well these days. Azerbijan are the favorites are they not?

Azerbijan are the favorites are they not? They are, and the song's not actually bad in a Rihanna kind of way, but they've stuck a ridiculous dance routine on it and they've been drawn first. On the other hand, they've burnt millions of oil dollars in promotion and publicity, so that might be enough. </neighbourlyvotingcynicism> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
