Eurovision Song Contest 2009

[rosa]

has anyone mentioned the violent suppression of the gay pride march in moscow yet?

Norton had a bit of a pop at the Russian police but he didn't mention the march,just said the police's 'heavy-handedness' had overshadowed the contest

 

[dessiato]

that violin must be well out of tune by now

temperature, moisture, time, although I was a rubbish violinist there is no way that thing is in tune now.

 

[Orang Utan]

why does everyone look like they're at one of prince harry's parties in shoreditch?

 

[dessiato]

Boa noite todos! Ate amanha! Beijinhos!

 

[rosa]

Not to mention the number of people he twatted with it walking to the stage...

 

[moomoo]

He hasn't got a new bow either.

 

[dweller]

Well done to the Norwegian Cliff Richard

 

[sparkling]

Not sure if this made my hangover worse

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well done to the Norwegian Cliff Richard

I said that to me mam!

 

[fizzerbird]

Not sure if this made my hangover worse

Wonder if I get to see him when I visit fairyland Tromso in a few years.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'd been planning on running a campaign to perform at Eurovision on a "we can't win so let's just have fun" platform.

No chance of that now, people are gonna think we have a chance of winning now

 

[madzone]

Who won?

 

[Stigmata]

Great fun this year. Was watching with a Greek lass who hugged me when we gave them some points, then spent the rest of the time muttering vague threats towards countries that favoured Turkey over her beloved homeland.

And Romania should be ashamed of itself. I mean really ffs.

At the end Graham Norton thanked the Russian authorities for their hospitality

Did they know he was gay?!

He should have taken the opportunity to speak out - people are being persecuted and all he's worried about is fucking pop music

 

[madzone]

WHO




WON?????????

He did mention it a number of times.

 

[liampreston]

Norway last won in 1995, when at least she was able to play the violin without breaking the bow

 

[sparkling]

Evil, evil song it's in my brain and I can't stop singing the words now. It's like the crack of the pop world. I thought it was happy and I bought into it's fairytale dream and now can't shake it lose. I might have to listen to a bit of blunt to ease off it's claws

 

[Isambard]

The German bloke "seems to be a some sort of rally"....Nooooo! Don't say it Graham!

He lives on the next street from mine.
ALLEGEDLY he's been spotted at the toilets at the U-Bahn, "relieving a call of nature".

HUGE pro LGBT statements in the pre-show on German telly.

It was much less political this year. I wonder whether that is to do with the fact that half the votes were jury votes rather than phone votes. There could also have been some nobbling from up on high. I've got a feeling that some of the Western European countries were on the point of pulling the plug after the last few years.

I was thinking this too.

Who are the top 5 funders? I think it goes: UK, France, Germany, and then two more.

 

[Isambard]

The "Big Four" are France, Germany, Spain, UK who fund it and thus get automatic final places.

The UK has done well and is back in the top league for scores.
Germany and Spain may well be having "issues" abou continuing.

i'm still gutted Moldova didnt win.
