Albanian woman was horrendous, as was her outfit! I quite liked Hungary, kids liked Cyprus. We didn't get why Romania sang in Spanish. Denmark were OK. Greece is bad... But they can't afford to win!

Graham Norton but I have Ken Bruce on radio 2. Oh Zaf you have to see this a beautiful pan-European thing that brings us all into a unified one-ness.....that is until the voting begins and becomes all about voting for your neighbour!!!

Loved the Spanish song til I realised it was very similar to Snow Patrol's "Run" (the one Leona Lewis covered) which is why I thought it was so good.

Lob is quite good Shaz!

We liked Germany, Spain and Romania. Jedward were funny.

Sweden definitely the best but we still want the Russian grannies to win because we doubt the Hump will

I liked Sweden, Spain and Italy. I thought that the UK's performance was quite nice but I don't think it will win.

Dont the phone votes count for anything?
Title: Re: who's watching Eurovision?
Post by: KateG on May 26, 2012, 10:41:28 PM
Last year it was all phone voting, this year it's half phone votes and half judges votes.

Who on earth is voting for the screechy Albanian woman????!!!
Title: Re: who's watching Eurovision?
Post by: Zaf on May 26, 2012, 10:46:35 PM
So we get the results of the phone votes later?

Title: Re: who's watching Eurovision?
Post by: mrmoody on May 26, 2012, 10:50:23 PM
its no longer a competition about the songs and 'lets just vote for our neighbours'. I often think we should have one competition for the older countries that have been in the competition from the start and then the newer european entrants can have their own competition were they vote for each other so as long as you share a border.
Title: Re: who's watching Eurovision?

Thats why I watch because its so funny everyone voting for neighbours.

We definitely need to go back to the original format with less countries, it might have been corny but at least it seemed fairer

Well at least we weren't last! And the grannies did well.

Geek that I am, I googled who is eligible to enter and it includes any country with a Mediterranean coast. Which is why Israel can enter. They even won it once!

Zaf the phone votes were included in the scores already

Zaf thats all the fun though, you hit the nail on the head, the naf songs, the ridiculous voting! I wish I had had a telly to watch it as well

I haven't read all the thread as I had a busy weekend.  It's been years since I watched the Eurovision Song Contest so all I caught this year was Jedward as theymake me laugh.
