Eurovisision Song Contest Tonight ?

[capricciosababs]

EEKKKKKK!!!
- and without the witty Mr Wogan it wont be the same even if as silly as usual?
at least Lloyd Webbers written a real song for a really superb young singer so we wish her well and whatever happens please DONT LETS BE LAST !!!

[Carole]

I expect we shall watch it, we usually do - but it won't be the same without Mr Wogan sending it up :lol:

[Lucia]

The hubba loves it - God knows why, but he doesn't ask for much in the way of telly-viewing, so I usually just give in and watch it - although I always feel as if I should be drinking Babycham, eating cocktail sausages/cheese cubes/pineapple on sticks and waving a plastic flag! :roll:

The only saving grace for me was Terry Wogan - I simply can't abide Norton, so I'll be pressing the 'red button' and listening to Ken Bruce's commentary instead - nice, dry Scottish wit and no 'Nortonesque gurning! :D

I hope nobody is expecting that ghastly, yodelling girl who is representing us to win - and I'm surprised at Lloyd Webber - for big occasions he usually pinches a decent melody from Puccini or Verdi, changes the key and pretends he made it up himself! :wink:

[tasha]

I haven't even heard our entry!

I doubt we'd win even if we had a half decent song, the Eastern Europeans seem to have taken it over and all vote for each other. :(

[mimazali]

I like the Icelandic song!

[mimazali]

Oh dear.. what happened to the Russian song? She was off tune, and it went on for so long she aged during the performance... :lol:

[Casiat]

Awful wasn't it..........

Anyone else think the German song/singer is just a Jack Sparrow 'Black & Gold' rip off???

Ohhh Dita Von Tease!!!

[mimazali]

Looks like a runaway victory for Norway. I didn't like that at all.
Much prefered the Icelandic song.
Better for UK this year

[tasha]

I thought we did really well.

I did also like the song that won.

[DizzyJenni]

I liked the song by Iceland! Wish she had won!!

I actually think Norton did alright :) But I didn't like his comment about the girl 'filling the stage up well' :(

We well though, the new voting seemed to help a bit.

[cardy]

Didn't think much of the Norway entry, liked Iceland she had a lovely voice & the song was good too ! :angelic

[Carole]

Well the ghastly Norwegian oompah song won - but they were all appalling as usual :lol: It's never been the same since they allowed singing in English, it was much more fun when they had to sing in their own languages.

I don't think our girl managed to sing loudly enough - I don't think anyone heard her :wink: I can't stand Lloyd Webber's musical offerings anyway, although I do admire the way he's spent a lot of his dosh on a very fine collection of Victorian paintings, so he can't be all bad.

The best bit was the half time entertainment with all those people sloshing around in huge transparent washing up bowls - so surreal!

[Lucia]

Laughing @ Carole's post - I hated the Norwegian song too - I could have cheerfully strangled that half-witted boy with the fiddle - and what part, pray, did the Norwegian equivalent of 2/3rds of the Beverley Sisters have to play in the overall story of the song? (insert baffled icon)

I think it would be much more fun if the artistes who are being ripped off were allowed to storm the stage and attempt to throttle the Eurovision songsters - Shakira would have had a busy night - as would Girls Aloud - there might have been quite an exciting fight between the lacklustre Jade and that yodelling bint who won the X-factor - there'd have been an appearance by Eminem - and a good big brawl between the Danes and Boyzone/Westlife/N'Sync! :roll:

Whatever had happened it couldn't have been more loony than the washing-up bowl people - I have to admit that I cast a sharp eye at the gin bottle to establish just how much I'd had to drink when they swam into view! I mean - how did they get up there - and why? :eeeek:

Norton fulfilled my worst expectations - he was about as funny as an outbreak of the Black Death - and the craven BBC didn't have a red button synchronised commentary so we had to give up on poor old Ken Bruce as the spectacle was upsetting enough without the commentary being 30 seconds behind.

The only positive thing that came out of it was the hubba's admission that it was 'lousy' and his expressed determination 'never to watch it again'! Hooray! :clapper:

[Banana]

I dont know why they dont get Simon Cowell to run what we enter - love him or hate him, he knows what people want to hear and we would so win with him at the helm!

[capricciosababs]

wasnt the same without wogan !
we liked the azabaijani entry best the rest were rotten wasnt worth watching it at all this time but at least we didnt end up eating my easter bonnet because GB didnt come last !

[PaulPinkPants]

i loved it but and as for the greek hunk mmmmmmmmmmm he would have got my vote even if i didnt like his song :riding::riding:

versus Ricky Martin in Lucia's punch up :lol:

I forgot the really weird one - Denmark, written by Ronan Keating and preformed by a fake (but very close) Ronan Keating :huh:

[DizzyJenni]

It sounded just like Ronan Keating, very odd! :lol: He was even sitting down just like boyzone used to !

[Lucia]

Another one for the punch-up - the lovely Kathryn Jenkins could have knocked seven bells (physically as well as vocally) out of that Swedish bint - and after fighting the Greek on the giant stapler, Ricky Martin would have had to get his breath back and come out swinging at the German!
Incidentally, speaking of the German - what was all that about? :eeeek:

[Carole]

I found the Swedish song very weird - operatic and "normal" just doesn't mix in one song :roll: It was quite nice in a crossover kind of way (do I sound patronsing enough? :lol: ) when she started on the operatic bit but then it all fell apart when she changed over.
