I will have to revise my list.

[liampreston]

Andorra...........didn't qualify

The qualifying nations are...


Greece - tarty sub-urban pop type
Romania - bilingual ballad
Bosnia - odd-ball brother/sister
Finland - long haird bare chester rock types
Russia - plastic RnB - ice skating combo
Israel - silver waistcoat wearing ballad
Azerbaijan - mosher/angel wine-over-Goff-girl's bosom episode
Armenia - Western aimed radio friendly pop groove
Poland - maghony-table tanned woman sings Disney
Norway - foot tapping beat-ridden pop effort

 

[frogwoman]

Actually I liked Greece's entry, and Israel's wasn't bad either. Bosnia's gotta be my fave so far though.

[Dillinger4]

I will have to re listen to all of them, myself, and make my mind up again.

I might not even be able to watch it on Saturday. It is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to me ever in my life.

 

[frogwoman]

heh. I just got in. caught the end of estonia.

How the mighty have fallen Their song a few years ago was ace. What the hell happened??

 

[Chairman Meow]

What happened to Ireland? Is Dustin out already?

Your hopes might be restored on Thursday. We get a chance to vote

 

[frogwoman]

What happened to Ireland? Is Dustin out already?

Yep. To be fair I don't think a lot of people watching in Europe would have understood his humour

 

[Dillinger4]

I dont have BBC3

*DESTROYS WORLD*

 

[Orang Utan]

I can't wait for it - it'll be a great night in!

 

[frogwoman]

I dont have BBC3

*DESTROYS WORLD*

(((((Dillinger4)))))

I'm glad that I'm at uni watching this thats for sure - my mums house only has four channels.

If you want I'll tell you who to vote for ...

 

[frogwoman]

Bosnia ftmotherfuckinw.

 

[Dillinger4]

FU!!!!!!!!!

 

[frogwoman]

 

[Dillinger4]

I like the camp europop songs, and I dont know who to pick now Andorra are out.

I hope I get to stay in and watch. I have been invited out to a party by a girl that I REALLY like, and it will be the last time I see her before I leave university.

But Eurovision is more important.

 

[frogwoman]

Invite her round your house to watch Eurovision. Or go to the party after it's over.

I like a man that knows where his priorities lie

 

[Dillinger4]

I have already thought of this - I cant (for various reasons)

Its a straight choice between hot girl and Eurovision.

Life is so hard sometimes.

[Nine Bob Note]

I haven't put my annual bet on yet, but it'll be on East European + sentimental slush. I went for Verka last year, and I still maintain she was robbed

 

[frogwoman]

I think it will be Bosnia. East European so it will attract all the political votes, and it has just the right level of crazyness to appeal to everyone. it is just pure genius and they deserve to win

 

[frogwoman]

Mind you we havent seen all the other entries. I dont think Ill change my mind though.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Verka has a suprising amount of songs on Youtube. Shite, but I am keen to learn Russian

 

[Melinda]

I think joke entries seem a good idea a the time (play well at home) but by the time they get to the European stage- it just 3 fat blokes dancing in Estonia's case.

What a spectacle!

My faves from First Semifinal:

Armenia- My girl from Armenia properly shocked it out, though she could have worked that fringing on her dress a little more. Fabulous song!
Norway- very, very classy entry- loved her dress
Israel's was great- the body and cheekbones on Boaz!
Greece
Russia
Andorra's high heels were just - to die for.


Worthy mentions!

Belgium- retro nod to Eurovision past. Campino dress- looking like a dress Truly Scrumptious would wear.
Azerbajan was jokes! Camp Angels and devils!
Slovenia- Ming the Merciless' wife?!
Poland- the girl who cant say no. She didnt say: 'No, thats enough spray tan,' or "No, thanks those blonde hair extensions are long enough," or "No, thats enough fish eye slits in my dress."

 

[Chz]

I rather enjoyed Estonia. They had an exploding accordian!! How could you top that? Other than with a giant turkey muppet spinning some decks, of course.

My favs were Estonia, Azerbaijan, and Belgium. Of course the final will be no fun to watch as all the most hilarious entries will be weeded out by then.

We were robbed. Poor Dustin.
