as always there were many crappy songs. i actually always wonder why it is not possible for countries to find one talented band/singer that they can send to the contest. it amazes me every year. (yeah, i admit it: i usually watch this every year.)

the voting is always more friend/enemy/political-based, so it isn't really about the songs.
my favourite song was definitely the one from bosnia-herzegovina:

Something bout you, something bout me....

Love that song.:)
Oblivion, Perseverence, Bad Actress, their cover of Wishing Well, great tunes.:)
Saw them back in 1999, great energy, all though that Tequila song got on me tits a lil bit.

They reunited for '4 Days in May' t'was absolute awsomeness They did the proper Tequila ... the dark version from the album. Was one of the most fun gigs EVER and one of the best crowds.

They should do our Eurovision entry next year :cool:

and yet strangely it was won by an ugly guy with a crap song FROM RUSSIA... I thought all those Eastern Europeans HATE Russia

Oh and our top three were Latvia (as always) 12, Poland (big surprise :rolleyes: ) 10 and UK 8... so really the Irish people gave the UK our top vote. And certainly not cos the song was any good

yeh I think the only points Uk get is from Ireland.

what i find strange is that there are always a couple of songs who get often 12 or 10 points and others get hardly any and yet i can't figure out why. before the voting starts i always ask myself which songs will be on top and i never can tell.

I will openly say it's a damn good song. And I still have something of a soft spot for The Voice... but that was cos I had a iddy biddy crush on the girl who sang it.

good point! I mean the Ukraine would have been a more obvious choice if ya ask me... even Greece! Russia made NO sense whatsoever Do ya reckon there's some kinda online community? Where they decide which country's gonna win this year? And, after all, who votes other than the big enthusiasts?

wtf is marty!?

i like the melody. it's catchy and they don't take themselves to seriously yet it's clearly a song. i don't know what the lyrics are but the little theater-act on stage was nice. better 4 brides than plastic-surgery-victims. lol

Finland voted for us I think you gave us 3 points or something. Estonia was our highest voter, giving us 8 and Belgium were next with 6... I could be completely off with the numbers but the order's right. So thank you Em

:eek: speaking of surgery... wtf was going on with Sweden's entry? :eek:

And the Czech Republic (who didn't qualify for the final) had 4 semi naked girls but Marty was saying 'you'd think they'd check their outfit actually FITS before they leave'

Marty Whelan is our eh... what do ya call it? He talks over the whole thing giving his opinion on songs and stuff.

Back when it at least resembled a genuine song contest, rather than a low-rent episode of Eurotrash.

:eek: You listen to Marty Whelan? The only reason to even consider watching it anymore is to hear Terry Wogan slag it off the whole time.

Nah, Marty's even better IMO... he gets drunker as it goes along too and towards the end ya think he's gonna have some kinda nervous breakdown or something
