Eurovision 2009
 

Is anybody watching it?

I love the Portugal song :D

yes

i am the biggest fan.

gutted irland did not make it.

i think ircland song is best followed by the swdish song from the first semi finals.

also germany and france have a good song this year.

only if you shoot me first... although: germany hired Dita von Teese, that should be interesting

Is it on any of the cable channels in the U.S? I would love to watch it... i love europop

Damn, we dont get it! I just searched the tvguide..

what the hell was that? lol :)

watch it online:

So far I think Turkey is best... the song reminds me a bit of the Ruslana one that won years ago

thanks allanuk, im watching it now...

did you see the first semi finals when they had the 'red army' sing and that tatu came out.

made me giggle having putin hint that he still has a big army.

so looking forward to sat.

i just love this. its the best night of the year.

I also liked Norway, the one with the violin. he was very umm charismatic...

i also liked azerbaijan too..

switzerland is a bon jovi wannabe

yeah
















perviy kanal ftw

are israel supposed to be lesbians? it looks like they are romancing and serenading each other like lovers?

I also like Romanian "Balkan Girls Like to Party"


I like Iceland's song because its dramatic and sad but the vocals dont blow me away. its not like American Idol caliber or anything but its decent

I like it. :):)

There are only a very few things I hate, but Eurovision is one of them. Even worse than a Bryan Adams day on MTV.

Low taste contest, I don't watch it. And its funny how its a "big thing" in some of the participating countries, like its olympics of something LOL

I liked this one:

So I will vote for Estonia :pimp

P.S. Anybody else liked this song, or I'm the only one here?

havent seen it yet.. have to go to sleep soon.. but i will look for it tomorrow

Estonia was good , the song had an Enya like quality to it... I like cornier/cheesier songs... like Balkan Girls like to party from Romania

I understood :) Actually I also don't like pop music - it's just not mine. However, sometimes you can find a really good song even on Eurovision. I believe the Estonian song is the exactly right example. I found it really magnificent. And you know, nothing happens w/o a reason in our life. When I googled the name of Estonian group (Urban Symphony), I found that they were gathered together to make a stringed cover on Metallica's "The Nothing Else Matters". I believe that the people who love Metallica can't play a bullshit music :2 cents:

The one from Denmark is growing on me... the singer looked/sounded nervous, but after listing to the different songs in the background today, then its one of the best :thumbsup

Really? I think Eurovision is one of the best things about Europe.. I'm sad we can only watch it on-line in the U.S and not on actual tv... Its the most awesome show ever...

О, у вас там в стране клиновых листьев даже первый канал есть. Шикарно живете! :)

Кстати, за чью команду болела в прошедшем на чемпионате мира по хоккею?

As far as I understood, one of them is Israeli (Jewish) and the second one is Arab. Actually, this is a very funny side of Eurovision 2009. Lithuanian and Latvian performers were singing in Russian. Russian performer is a citizen of Ukraine with a song written by Georgian. Belarussian guy was singing for Norway etc. Personally I like this tendency, because now the ppl will vote a bit more fair. They'll vote not for their "friendly countries" but for just a good song/singer. At least hope so.

Up ---^

Who's gonna vote today? :)

I had a feeling this was the story behind the Israel performance... At first I thought they were lesbians because they were lovingly gazing into each others eyes while holding hands and of course I had no idea what they were singing...

I also like Finland.. That's classic Euro dance pop right there...

Ukrain is good !!!

nothing more than a freak show

Nope ...its a bullshit my friend doesnt worth for watching

Too bad Bulgaria didnt make it to finals, I just couldnt stop laughing when watching it, its so fucking bad with the costumes and all. Just hilarious.

Here you go:



:)

I shall be here at 8pm UK time for the annual cheesefest.

yeah Шикарно za $20/month daje est perviy kanal!
ya ne по хоккею ;)

Эх... Таки ушла от ответа :)

p.s. В Канаде просто не может быть людей, которе "не по хоккею". Тем более, среди русских ;)

Going to be weird without Wogan.

France woman is looking pretty hot...pity about the song.

yep, he was good. If i got it right he is singing his own song. Good for him

Norway is big favourite... you can back them at 2.24 right now on betfair...

I read something about rumours saying Azerbaijan at 6.8 would win (they have dropped a lot in odds during the day).

Watch odds drop on betfair on the winner before it's finished... some people have the results before it's announced... (if they run it in-play, I think they do)

My bet is on Germany for the win. The girlfriend says Norway :)
