Eurovision

[Effulgent]

Stop Cringing! you know it rocks!

Semi Final: 10th may, Final: 12th may

if you have no clue where it is, read this:

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held between active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), in which participating countries each submit a song to be performed on live television; then proceed to cast votes for the other countries' songs, in order to find the most popular song in the competition. Each country participates via one of their national EBU-member television stations, whose task it is to select a singer and a song to go forward to represent the country in the international competition.

although even though its called "Euro" vision, not all countries who participate/are eligable are European, like Isreal, Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria etc


They made Abba famous! they made you want to start "making your minnnnnd up!" about who to voote for! and where we first heard oif Celine Dion!... I think


I still love last years winning song by lordi all though because I'm cool and happening, I heard it first at the download festival before eurovision.... on the channel 4 highlights

The UK entries are ok, and some are already "Famous"

JUSTIN WHO WAS IN THE DARKNESS!, Brian Harvey!, Big Brovaz! Liz MClarnon (she looks like Vernon Kay's wife on the bbc eurovision website.) and the rest!

DAMN YOU MORRISSEY! it would have been fantastic if he decided to enter

[z]

whats this semi final then final capering ? i hope it doesnt undermine the greatness of the event terry wogans snideness is a joy to behold every time

i think mozzers ruined it by not going in this year as by next year it wont be as surprising for someone big and famous to do it oh well good luck justin !!!

I LOVED Terry Wogan on last years eurovision, I think he had a drink or two he was hilarious, and said what we were all thinking

theres a fantastic Terryism geneator here: www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/eurovision/2005/fun_games/terryisms.shtml OUCCH THE DANA INTERNATIONAL COMMENT! rowr!

"Look out, he got a tattoo on his armpit"

I like how they have a complains thing on it, incase some armpit tattooists want to complain

I didn't even realize that was justins pic on the eurovision uk website: www.bbc.co.uk/eurovision/ I thought it was a manly looking woman

It's a shame he didn't do it, but I think his snobbish fans would vote for someone else (perhaps Justin ) because they wouldn't want him to do it and thought he sold out, but still it would have been fantastic if he did do it and he didn't need to go on that making your mind up show (why must the bbc give tv shows such crappy names! I bet this has Graham Norton in it too ) and just got the job

[z]

yeah radiohead said theyd do it if theycould just do the main show and not go through all the auditions

i remember wogan saying a woman was a tranny during her song once

Having read about it, I want to see Jordan's go at the contest from 04 I think it was

[Effulgent]

SCOOCH ARE BACK TOGETHER APPARENTLY!


oh this is good! I know that this is the band representing france in the eurovision, don't know if thats the song, but it did say, a mix of french and english, and it does say eurovision in the title, so probably is:

EUROVISION SPOILERS!:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyRcKHrNq_c

what a fantastic band name!

[Effulgent]

I saw Justin on the wright stuff on Five today (NO I DON'T WATCH FIVE! BUT THE WRIGHT STUFF IS INTERESTING SOMETIMES! ) hes such a nice bloke he was being anti-american on the show though (one or two comments ) so I was like "dude hate the playa/Government, not the game/country" but he was great, nice hair

[z]

he's definitely had some unnatural assistance with his hairgrowth

[Effulgent]

not that I am saying his hair is "girly" whatever that means, but I thought he was a woman (A manly looking woman ) and part of a girl group when i first saw his official picture for the eurovision (I say Offical but I mean the pic on the bbc website ) with the woman he is dueting with... his hair is interesting it'll be a hit with the rest of the europeans!

[z]

i want to hear the song and copy his look

[Effulgent]

you'll get to listen when "making your mind up" airs on:

BBC One
Sat 17th March
1930 - 2030
& 2130 - 2200



or you could try the link on their profile on the eurovision site, I'm too lazy to copy paste it here

GOOD LAAAAWD, the 17th! thats this weekend! I can't wait to see scooch!

[z]

i found the song on youtube and an astonishing fact theres an old bloke at work who was a drummer in the old days and told us his band backed this female star who id vagguely heard of but it turns out she was the uk's eurovision entry of 1971 and came a respactable 4th

[z]

if hawkins and brown dont win im leaving the country in fury!
