*Facepalm* Whenever Eurovision's on, the UK is reminded that yes, no one in Europe likes us.
I think last year we were second to last? This year? Lo and behold! We came last!
When I was little, the UK won aaaall the time, haha, and now? Whoo..Hatred all around.
:woohoo:
I did love it last year when Dita made a show though.So envious of her body.
I think I remember that a couple of years ago even the Parliament discussed about this failure of the UK end up in a better place on the contest. The director of the BBC came forward with the statistics that showed how they spent about 110,000 pounds for the UK singer and all the preparations, while the income from the all the other related eurovision stuff was in the millions for the BBC, so that effectively shut up the Parliament about this matter...

And eternity in an hour.

Can't say I watch Eurovision for the music, but it's just a European thing. My little brother likes seeing weird acts anyway. :woohoo:
Does anybody watch it for the music? :silly:
I think people are just curious to see how bad are the other countries. lol

Haha true. I was pretty surprised when Lordi won, to be honest. I think it was just because they had unusual outfits - And I swear Eurovision was a pop contest? Given the option, I think anyone voting would go for the more alternative types.

We have contemplated watching the semi finals instead, as we all get a kick out of the more outrageous acts and some of the terribly out of tune singing. The general consensus amongst us all this year was that there were too many ballads that got through and not enough 'over-the-top' performances that Eurovision is quite often known for.
That said, I was quite pleased the young German girl won. I found the song quite catchy (I enjoyed Greece's entry too), her sense of pitch was sound and really liked the fact that she didn't have fake breasts, fake lips, a miniskirt up to her hips and a friggin' wind machine blowing her hair everywhere!!!
