    Niiiiiiiice

    Someone should tell the Scandinavians to stop sending actual bands. Eurovision is all about ridiculous power ballads and awful electropop and bewilderingly meaningless lyrics and ROFL costumes and ohmygodimgonnadiefromlaughingtoohardatthisstupid dance routines.

    And big hair. Can't forget the hair.

    :D couldn't have put it better myself... is why I loved Spain, France and Latvia's entries ;)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    And of course, the mandatory bitchin' response at the bloc voting of the Scandinavians, the old Yugoslavia, and the Soviets.

    It's high time all the countries west of Italy, Austria and Germany formed their own bloc. Take that, bitches.

    While I'm so fired up on Eurovision...

    GIVE AUSTRALIA OUR VOTING RIGHTS!!!

    There's barely a European nationality that's not well represented well here! Just in my workplace over the past year, I've worked with staff from UK, Ireland, Norway, Italy, Croatia, Portugal, Serbia, Armenia, Turkey, Israel, Netherlands, Greece and Malta. There's one Basque, too, but he'd kick my arse if I said he's from Spain.

    We love Eurovision here. We probably have on capita more people who care about Eurovision than some actual participating countries. We deserve it!

    apparently this is the translation of the lyrics..

    Try

    Don't come down from the balcony
    Laka the singer told me
    Don't make noise with your sandals
    Don't pretend to be a lady

    Don't come down from the balcony
    Laka told me personally
    Don't come down from the balcony
    Until your love is strong

    I tricked both fauna and flora
    With my favorite prank
    That life did not begin in the sea
    But of love
    Love, love
    Of love

    How many days did we spend
    Lying down, eating bananas
    And then we fell onto the lower branches
    Without love
    Love, love
    Without love

    I'll try to kiss you and you can act foolish
    I'll try to kiss you and you can act foolish
    I'll try to wake you up and you can pretend you're awake

    Don't come down from the balcony
    Laka the singer told me
    Don't make noise with your sandals
    Don't pretend to be a lady

    Don't come down from the balcony
    Laka told me personally
    Don't come down from the balcony
    Until your love is strong

    I'll try to kiss you and you can act foolish
    I'll try to kiss you and you can act foolish
    I'll try to wake you up and you can pretend you're awake

    I'll try to kiss you and you can act foolish
    Don't come down from the balcony
    Laka the singer told me
    I'll try to kiss you and you can act foolish
    Don't make noise with your sandals
    Don't pretend to be a lady
    I'll try to wake you up and you can pretend you're awake

    Make it "most of tomorrow", and you're on. I guess I'll bring the bananas? :p

    Man, and I thought I was an idiot for buying these tickets to Finland for no apparent reason. :D

    actually, many/most European countries have their own Idol or other similar show. :eek: in addition to the Eurovision.

    but it's not the same anyway.. Eurovision is ages old and.. well, really crap musically. :p
