Eurovision Song Contest Sat 20th

[crazygirl]

does anyone watch it! it is the most boring contest on telly and can you believe its been going since 1956 :lol: god help spain they have Las Ketchup to represent them :lol: i thought we had seen the last of those!

[Siobhan]

I watch the voting and see how Ireland do

[di marco]

i watch it if theres a whole group of us cos we take the mick out of it and stuff, but i agree it really is rubbish!

[shannisrules]

i watched last year it so boring especially with that terry wgan guy his voice is to plain! lets see if daz can do it

[samantha nixon]

i watch it but sometimes get bored of it and only watch the results but there were some great people on it last year i thought

[lollymay]

i like watching it with my mum cos its all ways really funny.

[Katy]

i watch the voting for pure comedy reasons.

[dddMac1]

hope daz does it for us this year we have not one since
Katrina and the waves-love shine a light

[Siobhan]

hope daz does it for us this year we have not one since
Katrina and the waves-love shine a light

Brian Kennedy is doing the Irish song. We might win again, we hope not, but we are about due it again!!! Can't believe Micky Joe Hart did so badly.. it was the only Euro song I really like from Ireland

[di marco]

hope daz does it for us this year we have not one since
Katrina and the waves-love shine a light

we are not going to win, its a rap and its not the style of music thats going to win something like this

[Tori]

i only tend to watch the voting- i mean the music is nice but well, not all that interesting!

[Katy]

i love the dress sense of some of them. England are never going to win, i find it laughable that it got through to be honest. There was a big fuss when he was signing at HMV so obviously someone likes Daz.

[FROGGY]

I find there is a good year for songs then a bad year. I think last year was a bad year, hence a boring programme, so hopefully this year might be reasonable.

My kids like to stay up and watch and we get party nibbles in, although my daughter has not, yet, managed to stay awake through the voting.

There may be some "political" voting going on, but I think that despite this, it is always the best song which actually wins.

[Katy]

I have some of the songs and they arent that bad. The irish on is quite good, you should hear some of the people who didnt qualify its hilarious.

[Siobhan]

I have some of the songs and they arent that bad. The irish on is quite good, you should hear some of the people who didnt qualify its hilarious.
yeah Irelands name got picked out of a hat!!! What a fantastic way to qualify!!!

[Pixie]

i don't normally watch it but might see how well Daz does as his song is quite differenrt to the normal ones we have. plus would quite like to see how bad las ketchup are!

[pookie1968uk]

i will be watching the princes trust on the other side. ant and dec are interviewing princes william, harry and charles!!!!!!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Never been interested in watching it but i will watch it this year to see Daz Sampson, really hope he wins

[Emmak2005]

I found it funny when the Greek presenters came on in Peter Pan style. That's why we love Eurovision - because of the ott presenters and performers. Apart from Daz ofcourse. He's the only normal one there.

[alan45]

DAZ has to be the worst UK entry of all time what a plonker:sick:

[Emmak2005]

I didn't think we would win again this year. Daz is ok, but I don't think the rest of Europe are into his style of music. It's not camp and cheesy enough for them! We're on 23 at the moment and Finland have got well into 130 points already.

[Richie_lecturer]

..and that mad Finnish rock group have won this year's competition.

No surprise really?

[Emmak2005]

Oh well Finland win. And we lose yet again. I'm surprised with how the point scoring worked out this year. I thought Daz deserved a lot more. Still he doesn't need to hang his head in shame he has achieved other things and successes elsewhere - like in Bus Stop & United Nations, etc. I think this year's winner is **** - still if you like heavy metal then each to their own I suppose.

Daz Sampson 20th/24 - at least he didn't come last!

hmmmm reading this post, can anyone tell me why they have a semifinal first? and why some countries automatically go into the final? just wondered

[lollymay]

hmmmm reading this post, can anyone tell me why they have a semifinal first? and why some countries automatically go into the final? just wondered

britian and a couple of other countries automatically qualify because they help to fund it.

we got 3 more points than we did last year aswell.

[Tori]

i liked latvia and the one about grass and shoes... they were funny! daz was good, but no- one actually likes that kind of music apart from us. go for something like they have in the baltic areas and we may well do well for once! still better then 0 from the other year though!

[crazygirl]

we are not very liked at the moment are we! so the uk result didn't come to a shock! its very political is the eurovision its very unfair and it shouldnt be!
but its always been like that

[Bryan]

here's a suggestion - they dont show the names of each country when the song is performed, that way people vote for the song and not the country!

[Tori]

yeah, thats a good idea. my onlu thing would be that then at the end they'd have to announce which song and which country, so it'd take even longer. also, what about the country getting the act together, people would say this is GBs act, and then people in other countries would find out?

[Siobhan]

does anyone have the full result, a list of all countries and what they scored.. I missed it on saturday so wondering how Ireland did!!!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

You can download them in PDF format on the Eurovision song contest webssite

cheers... couldn't find that earlier... Ireland came 10th.. not to bad, at least they are coming back next year

[dddMac1]

all the songs where great but nothing against latvia but their song sounded like singing cats

[pookie1968uk]

we are not very liked at the moment are we! so the uk result didn't come to a shock! its very political is the eurovision its very unfair and it shouldnt be!
but its always been like that
it was a rubbish uk entry for the eurovision contest thats why! the song that is voted for to go through for the uk needs to be picked as a suitable winner for the contest not what teenage girls like.

[Siobhan]

It is the middle age groups who watch this and old grannies!!! that is why the freaky rock band got through cause bored rockers have nothing better to do than vote and the grans rang to complain but vote lines where all they had :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[di marco]

here's a suggestion - they dont show the names of each country when the song is performed, that way people vote for the song and not the country!

i said that to my mum but she said it wouldnt really work cos some countries youd be able to work out, for example accent, language, what they look like etc

[alkalinetrio]

weeeeey for finland wining it:P lol england shud enter a proper english rocky band instead of that rap crap and crappy pop whens last time we accturly won it?

[crazygirl]

weeeeey for finland wining it:P lol england shud enter a proper english rocky band instead of that rap crap and crappy pop whens last time we accturly won it? we last won it in 1997 with Katrina and the Waves and the song was called Love Shine A Light!

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

Does anyone know what the song is called that went some thing like 'we are the winners of eurovision'

[Tori]

it was sung by Latvia if that helps, i thought it was called we are the winners? not sure though
