Stupid Songs, Political Voting and Drunken BBC Commentators!
Anyone watching this later today?

This is why this contest is worth watching: YouTube - Lordi - Hard Rock Halleujah ( Eurovision LIve)

Well this is the worst thread ever.

It's started and they have last years winners on. Serbian lesbian wedding, they just ripped off their clothes...

i watch this at this moment. we will see who wins

It is only slightly worth it if you can watch BBC for Terry Wogan's cynicism.

Ireland, Bosnia, France and Spain have lost their minds.

Too many good songs to guess it this year, any one of the Scandinavian countries (exept boring Norway) or Azerbaijan should win it.
I think Sweden is the favorite but I want Iceland to win I think.

Terry Wogan is going to go crazy over the voting very soon. He is wrong, the baltic/eastern bloc countires have the best songs and deserve every vote they get and of course they vote for countires with a similar culture because they like the same things. Ireland and France generally vote for the UK no matter what shit we enter. Our half arsed boring song is going to come last again.

EDIT: Although seeing the votes now, maybe they do go a bit too far.

It used to be a good show but the whole people voting thing has completely fucked it all up.

It's mostly wich country has the most friends ...

Eastern european countries massively vote for eachother. And it's mostly ho has the best/weirdest gimick this time instead of who has the best song/ best singer.

It's only going downhill more and more each year.

It's unbelievable there are still people watching this

Well Germany gave up this years ago right? You can tell by the usually bizarre german songs.

It's a shame no real UK artist will touch this thing, we would win every year if a professional singer/band entered with one of their best songs.

Most countries understood that when you win you have to organize the next edition, so it's all about losing on purpose while still keeping some honor...

No, it's largely irrelevant how good your act is, since the communist block is voting for each other anyways.
