Ok, so liking Eurovision isn't really socially acceptable, probably for good reason, and posting in this thread will almost certainly make you a little bit gayer, however I can't be the only weirdo on the caf.

It's this Saturday, but they have semi finals nowadays and the first one was last night. The bad news is Jedward are through. The good news is the Russian Grannies are too and this man is not:



The UK's entrant, a shrivelled potato by the name of Engelbert Humperdinck automatically qualifies for the so-called Grand Final.

Anyway I thought I'd best start the thread early so you can spend the next few days calling me gay, and then come Saturday we can settle in for a night of satellite delays, failed attempts at humour and horrible, horrible songs.
 
Sweden is the favourite with the bookies, although out of theScandinavians i'd be looking at the Danish entry myself.

No idea if Emgelbert will achieve mid-table respectability or not.
 
Yeah Denmark's is good, Italy too, although the ones that I actually like never do too well. I'm still annoyed Moldova didn't win last year.

 
Which means your taste in Eurovision songs is shitty and that's the ultimate shitty musical taste. I can taste your shitty music taste through the monitor.

But in all honesty, good on you for coming out to the caf like this. Not many would admit such things. You don't like Iceland? Danish song has hardly gotten radio airplay here which is rare. It's genuinely not liked this year, it is kind of a boring song, which is rare for a Danish song. They usually get at least okay-ish feedback.

The fact that Jedward are going to represent Ireland in anything other than a suicide pact makes me fecking sick.

Why because the Eurovision is such a prestigious competition?

I am pleased we do not take it seriously anymore and just send comedy acts.

Dustin should get another shot next year
 
Quite frankly, I feel bad for everyone who can't enjoy the smooth tones of Marty Whelan on commentary.
 
Did RTE nearly go bankrupt cause they kept winning this shit, That's why the acts have been dire for a long time, seems like the Father Ted joke someone was like 'why not!'

Yeah, I like the Denmark one but it's not the type of song that normally wins it.

I'm just hoping the Albanian scereamy woman with her ponytail glued to her chest doesn't win.
 
Jedward's song is less shit than the one they did last year and they came 11th or something then. Plus they have a lovely water feature on stage.
 
Rambo Amadeus is legend, it's shame he didn't make the finals. He said he would be delighted if he continues their tradition and don't get through semi finals. :lol: He even wanted to bring this donkey from video on stage but they didn't allow him:

:lol:


She will win it:

Sweden is absolutely obsessed with this competition, so I'll be trying and avoid it as much as I can.
 
The second semi-final is on now on BBC3. Some Dutch girl is currently singing a little song and playing the guitar all while wearing a giant Indian headdress.
 
fecking hell, that bloke presenters head doesn't look like it's actually attached to his body, it's like it's been CGI'd on and slightly too high up.

That's not the point I was trying to make at all. The eurovision is shit. I don't really care who represents us in it, unless it's Jedward.

Sending a puppet is one thing, people know it's only an act, Jedward is not an act, they are perhaps the two most hateful little cnuts on the face of the earth.

Jedward and Colin Murray. I can honestly say I hate these people more than any other people on earth. I simply refuse to watch anything that any of them appear in because they fill me with hate and rage. The only thing I'd watch them in is a 3-way spacker fight to the death.
 
You just don't want to watch it because you're afraid you'll like it.


Swedish Lady Gaga is still the favourite for tonight with Russian Grannies close behind. Jedward not too far back.
 
I always find it amusing how they show large crowds in Germany watching it on big screens to be followed by shots in the UK from a pub.

Wait, there's enough demand for pubs to hold Eurovision nights? Christ all mighty.

I remember watching an interview of Piers Morgan once who said that if one of his reporters came to him when he was editor of The Mirror with a story about Eurovision he would have fired them.

A pretty good stance to take I think.
