EuroVision Song Contest 2011

This shit is taking place in my town and I'm paying fuck all attention to it.

But in case one of you guys is over for this great event (as if), I'll let you stay at my house for a reasonable price. xxx can stay for free.

it's pretty catchy, just like all the eurovision songs pretend to be, it has a message of hope, because it is so related to the current national and global context and also it uses the country's own language, which is something very important to me. it's annoying to hear so many english songs from non-english speaking countries.

Hippy ..

that is so terrible.

I probably shouldn't reply in this thread, as i'm likely to call everything terrible. But that hippy anthem song really was sickly.

Yes they are awesome. So at least this thread has some merit to it, if it brought to kaini's attention the wonder that is telex.

It's pretty hard to top the hilarity of this, imo.

Alright, so the semis are on right now.

you're not wrong squee

oh god i am way too canadian to know/care about eurovision :(

But you have Idols and Eurovision is like that but much more campy and cheesy and it's not sure how serious all the competitors are.

canada is pretty much an annex of europe. you even speak french and have socialised healthcare ffs

lol, Canada. You crazy bastards and your your your your tuques.

Amazing.

This year's ceremony will be over in a few moments - I guess they're doing the "Our 12 points go to..." shit.

The English and Irish bands were fucking amazing...

Jedward for the win

the jedward thing is surprisingly catchy and well-produced, even if they have not a note in their heads between em.

what's blue and can't sing?

At least they were better than our french singer...

The highlight will remain the performance of the german anchor playing guitar and drums on last year's winning song, total bliss :sup:

I really like Stefan Raab.

Slovenia sucks again as always, this is the first time in like 20 years I'm watching Eurovision and its all pretty terrible.

Oh sorry for the downer, but such events always get me a bit depressed.

We definitely should let Tesla play with his little fireballs and start working on an epic sax compilation, with real balls, I mean real.

The chick from Armenia giving points was fine as hell. Highlight of the evening.

I liked the german song, I feel ashamed.
