The Annual Eurovision Bitchfest Thread
 

Terry Wogan's finest hour :) Yes, I will be watching but of course I am doing it with an ironic eye :)

Tips - If you have closed captioning (especially in the UK) watch the show with it on. Trust me, it adds a whole new dimension to the show.

Right - I predict the UK will actually pick up a point this year.

I hope Lena Ph from Sweden win :thumbsup

Oh wow, that's tonight?

Well... I'm looking forward to nil pois. :glugglug

I have heard predictions of either Greece or the Ukraine winning it. Of those two - without hearing the songs - I am going for the Ukraine because it seems like they keep giving it to countries that will have to spend their entire annual tv budget on putting together the show.

again? ouch.

I actually wish i did have captioning - it would be better than listenign to it

unfortunately for us our 1 year old just LOVES it
so we got stuck watching it

it says someting about a contests reputation when even the commentators are comedians who poke shit at every act in between songs.:1orglaugh

Yeah, go Sweden!

the translations of some of the songs are just hilarious. Last year one of the songs was about pasta and potatoes but you wouldn't have known that without the captioning.

Terry Wogan makes it worth watching.

the turkish lady would look so much better with her natural hair colouring

Id he the host or what?
I didnt see any host or anythign the other night -
in bewtween songs they just showed scenes from Istanbul whilst some aussie comedian cracked jokes

and now I really do wish i had the captioning

well the person singing at first was last years winner. Now the woman on stage is the host .along withthe guy that looks a bit like count from the muppets.

i like the russian song

Good to see Spain embracing the waiter stereotype.

Okay..Norway early dark horse if the teenage girls around Europe stay up late enough to vote.

dammit - we wont see this until later tonight
its 5am here so they'll put it on delayed broadcast
im not readint this thread anymore in case it gets spoiled for me

check out the bald lady on stilts in the french entry

she is scary!

what is with everyone wearing white suits this year?

all I can say about malta is - :1orglaugh

ok yes i just had to look in again..


Malta - is that the guy who looks like Mediterranean Version of Prince?

lol..I was thinking a younger version of Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet...I lost it a bit when the yodelling started.

Greg Brady is the Dutch entry

matter of factly Germany will win. mostly cos we bet some money on them. :thumbsup

My favorites:
# Ukraine
# Macedonia

germany guy has a monobrow

oooh..Germany singing in English this year...bit of break from forrn

and hair that looks like a come over despite having a full head of hair.


The song is the least crap so far though.

not quite. Lou ("a fine mouth full of teeth" - T. Wogan) last year sang english, so did Stefan Raab, the w-r-i-t-e-r of this year's entry, when he did that 70s glamour performance 2 or 3 years back.


i'm looking forward to that Warrior Princess performance - i think the ukrainian entry.

Tose Tose Tose...
watch for song #15
:winkwink:

albania is good


2mil votes from albanian immigrants in greece :glugglug

Isn't that show specially made for girls and gays?

Holy fuck - Russia

she is 16 too...hold crap if she was 18 she would be good content :)

Russlana is the name, not the country :winkwink:

what makes Ukraine ? Tai bo ?

Russia's entry is some Avril Lavigne wannabe.

in 2 years she will :Graucho

oh..that was the Ukraine...well fuck, I said earlier I thought they might win ..before i heard the song. Well..they are who I am still picking so far.

It's so pathetic it's amusing. The commentator on BBC PRIME is just fantastic.
He makes me laugh so hard I nearly shit my pants.

So, Bosnia is going for the gay vote.

croatia: 5 points

bosnia: 3 points (completely gay)

Most likely that is Terry Wogan - he is the only reason to watch it.

I can't bring myself to watch it so I'll just read the commentary in this thread I'm sure it's much better than the program itself :winkwink:

Hahaha yea I love that guy. Man he was beyond sarcastic when they went live in Berlin minutes ago.

His comment "SOMEONE CUE THE WOMAN" was just... priceless.

lol..and 'stop picking your nose' ..lol

like the Belgian girls dress

Wish Terry Wogan would shut the fuck up

oh please, he is the best thing about it. Tell me that you watch it for the songs?

what do you think about Macedonia's chances? Toshe is THE man.

RUSSIAAAAAAAAAA


the way she performs it today though sucks
