The Eurovision Song Contest 2007Seeing as how the BBC have taken it upon themselves to remove Doctor Who from my screen to show this....program...... I decided we may as well have a little thread about it to see what we all think, who we'd like to win etc.
I don't actually even know where it's from this year, will have to go and Google it.......

Have you heard our entry? It's fookin crap. I'm guessing ti will be another nil points for the good old GB this year.
|
Zoe
|
Ok, Helsinki Finland.
I have also just watched the UK's entry, and well, I think it's safe to say we will be somewhere near the bottom of the board, again.

It's a damn shame that some good artists and songs get turned into political crap and scandals.
|
Mala
|
That's true Nikki, but not the case with ours. It's just crap.
|
Zoe
|
and that's being polite.
|
Nikki
|
Lol, I heard the song, nothing new.
|
Mala
|
Crap, yes?
|
Nikki
|
Yes
|
Mala
|
I knew it. What's your entry like?
|
Nikki
|
I don't know, semi-good.
|
Zoe

I think you need to post a link to it so we can have a listen and be prepared for Saturday, in case we need to dig out the cotton wool for our ears. To be fair it can't be as bad as ours.
|
Nikki
|
Lol, I'll link ya, but I doubt they will make it to the Saturday.

Not bad, not bad at all. Like that woman's tie!!
|
Nikki
|
LOL, but she sings terribly, totally wrong. But the tie is nice :D:D
|
Zoe
|
Her voice kinda reminds me of Cher, real deep like, almost a bit blokey.... LOL
|
Nikki
|
I don't know, good think Dado /the old rocker guy/ saves the day =)
|
Zoe
|
To be honest I don't mind how well our shitty British number does, I've come to expect this level of pap from this country. As long as we wup your Croatian butts I'll be happy.
|
Nikki
|
Lol, it's easy for you, you're in the finals directly
|
Zoe
|
That's because we're fabulous!! lol
|
Mala
|
So wrong! It's cause we pay shed loads of money to the contest, that they don't dare NOT let us in.
|
Zoe
|
Hmmm yes, perhaps that's it!!!
|
Nikki
|
No, that's because you're paying for it Lol
|
Zoe
|
Well, are you all ready for it then?
I have steeled myself for our usual Nil Points. I'm most looking forward hearing our Terry Wogan giving his usual hilariously sarcastic commentary, it's worth watching Eurovision just to listen to him, LOL!
|
Mala
|
I have my wine and my popcorn, so I'm all set for it too
|
Zoe
|
We may pay loads of money but they won't bloody vote for us will they, the swines.
EDIT: ok not at bottom of board now so all is right with the world!

EUROVISION TOP FIVE
1. Serbia (268 points)
2. Ukraine (235)
3. Russia (207)
4. Turkey (163)
5. Bulgaria (157)
EUROVISION BOTTOM FIVE
20. Spain (43 points)
21. Lithuania (28)
22=. France (19)
22=. UK (19, pictured)
24. Ireland (5)
Well, at least we didn't come last again. I do think that we should pull out of it now, and take our money with us, as the voting is just too political now, and not based on the songs at all.

Zoe

WAAAAAA!!! We're so pap LOL.
I agree with Mal though, it's definately a case of 'lets vote for our neighbours and allies regardless of whether their song is shit', and so therefore us Brits don't stand a chance of winning anymore!!!!
It's frustrating also because the quality of music we produce in this country is actually really high and is pretty popular in Europe, but when it comes to Eurovision we end up with some majorly cheesy pop nonsense!! Now I'm all for a bit of cheesy pop, it's good to sing and dance to, but the Euro level is just tooooo much!
EDIT: 1997 was a good year for us though so I felt a trip down memory lane was in order.....

First time people didn't vote for costumes and performance but song and voice =)
You Brits just comfort yourselves :P
