Eurovision 2009

[ore]

eurovision??

it should be banned! its a load of !=#)$(%/&". lol
eurovision is an insult for good music

about nothing to add.

maybe except that its sooo funny when Ireland gives us (ie Lithuania) quite a few votes... of course its way more likely its emigrants voting not Irish themselves. and then where Ru (and maybe Balkan countries and eg Poland too) dont have emigrants..

Whatever happened to Johnny Logan the Stephen Hendry of Eurovision?

well i caught the start of this (then my computer died, had to reformat it), caught the end. i liked nortons commentating, although he's trying to a bit too hard to sound like old master wogan. i cant believe we got in the top 5 also.

I did care, I love the most of his music and was glad to see him on the stage.

[RGCirencester]

Glad someone cared I know you'd get more votes from the UK putting him on stage... but as UK people cant vote for themselves I wondered how many people abroad would actually care

Iceland where robbed...

Is it just me or was that tone deaf guy from Norway wining a fiddling fiddler.

I thought Sweden would've done better. I quite liked there song myself.

I don't follow Eurovison, but to all the haters out there:

1974
Winners: ABBA

you mean ONE talented & good quality act has come out of it 40 years ?

Pardon my ignorance. I did not know, that:

1988
Winner: Celine Dion

So it's only 20 years, danny.

My favourite Eurovision song is one of Ireland's I think - My Lovely Horse - it was a catchy little number! If memory serves me correctly it was actually sung by a couple of priests.

[RGCirencester]

ROFL I remember that one haha

Hmm While there seems to be general agreement that Abba were pop geniuses Im not sure if that is the case with Celine Dion.

Whether she is a "good act" is a matter of opinion.


But "in fairness" as willie thorne would say, i suppose you are right, as Celine Dion cannot be dismissed as the usual rubbish on there.

I love Alexandar Rybak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
