The DS Eurovision Thread (Part 8)

Against
The orchestra worked in the past because it suited the more serious style of the contest. However, Eurovision is a completely different beast these days and the return of the orchestra wouldn't work because technology plays a big part in music and using an orchestra wouldn't put the songs to full effect and it would also take the contest backwarRAB.

With regarRAB to single instruments being played on-stage, I'm against that as well because it blurs the line between backing track use and live instrument use. It could also be problematic with regarRAB to sound mixing both the backing track and live instrument.
 
That's the only bit of the song that I can't stand.


Of the Finnish 15, my faves are Blackbird and Tony Green.


I'll be sending my votes tonight :D
 
I had this as my favourite in 2002 but the transistion into English was appalling and the whole tempo and performance ended up being very lame.In the end it dropped into my bottom 5.

Great fun with the Beeb's live subtitling during this though as on screen her name came up as Vesna Pisspiss !
 
So we would have had pretty much the same result then! Oh how boring :D Still... it's a good thing as the win has already been taken away from sbrum... wouldn't want to sort of take it away from only_you as well lol!
 
Maybe the BBC turned down Xenomania and Katie Melua because they thought they were onto a sure thing with Gary Barlow? And then by the time GB dropped out, it was too late to get Xenomania and KM involved?
 
Well done. It would not be a proper Eurovision contest without at least one weird or joke entry. And I will keep mine for next week, teehee!
 
Just looking at the scale of these NFs and the fact that the studio's totally full, it's quite a shame they never went the whole hog and tried out their own multi-week Melfest style NF.

Really wish they'd gone for Scooter in 2004. Certainly not the best song but it would have made the crowd go absolutely crazy in Istanbul. Really didn't like Max. Is it wrong to hate a song because of the direness of the singer's hair?
 
That could work :) However only if somebody is willing to take over from me once I've done this round because I don't think I could do it every month :D I'll explain it more later.
