The DS Eurovision Thread (Part 8)

I'm gonna assume as well that we are not necessarily entering songs that we think would do well in the modern day ESC? My first entry is incredibly old, and I'm putting it forward as a song that would have stormed it in its time - it would probably crash and burn in 2011!
 
I saw that too, bless him! Wonder if he's ever thought about being a "manny" for Little Anzej? That would be so cool! I know he has aspirations of being in the fashion business though, there's not a lot of call for that in Norfolk, trust me!
 
Don't you just love the fact that Ping Pong with that Be Happy song OPENED the contest?! This was the first Eurovision song of the MILLENNIUM! HAHAHAHA! Normally I would despise this put the political element just makes it far too interesting!

And I also love the fact that the backing singer has to physically kick the other one to remind him to get his flags out! :D
 
Good for him, I'm sure he'll find himself a decent boyfriend. :)

Somebody should ask him if he saw Marija Serifovic, Eric Saade & Dima Bilan in that closet! :D
 
It's the final of Miss World on Saturday and apparently in the talent show section Miss Cyprus sang "Stronger Every Minute". She didn't win, beaten by Miss Ireland playing the fiddle. Just like Eurovision then.

There's an idea for a competition, we record ourselves singing a Eurovision entry.:eek::eek: There haven't been horses born wild enough for that to happen.

Caramelldansen is evil.
 
Those of us who want a real contest should avoid reading the "Flying the Flag" book by Andy Roberts, "celebrating" the BBC's 50 years in Eurovision. In it he interviews a couple of BBC executive tw*ts who confirm they see the ESC as a cheap way of filling the schedules (incidentally confirming the fact most of us know that the direct cost of our participation in the contest is negligable) and that the BBC won't throw any money at it for that reason - and that the budget is being cut by 5% annually is mentioned at one point. Completely demoralising. It's about time the BBC were made aware of just how they embarrass the country with their woeful attitude.

Actually, I don't know why the BBC don't save the whole selection budget, and ask S4C if the winner of the "Can I Gymru" contest in March can represent us. OK it'll be in Welsh, but it'll get such huge attention for that reason, and possibly get the backing of the Welsh language record industry for promotion, it could save the BBC the
 
Latvia

They deserve a belated ban for Marie N, and their latest offerings have not been up to the standard required*

I would have said Czech Republic, but they pre-empted me and banned themselves :p





* Would also ban the UK for the self-same reason - take it seriously, or butt out!!!
 
It is a relief! :)
I have a similar nightmare every year too! It was worse last year though - I managed to watch Eurovision but it was TERRIBLE. nothing was as it should have been, it was being held in Botswana etc etc. SounRAB ridiculous . . . but I was very upset! :D
 
Drew, as much as I like the song you've chosen, in the worRAB of Father Ted "We have to lose that sax solo!"

It jars and goes straight through me.:eek:
