I'm super excited about this year's Eurovision, there are only four months left for the finals in Baku. :clap: Unfortunately, my country (Poland) is out this year. It's a pity as the song we brought to Germany last year was great, I still like listening to it!

Is there any way we can watch it here in the USA?
Posted
not sure if you can watch it in the US...maybe somewhere online
Posted
Yes maybe somewhere online, here in Europe many countries broadcasts Eurovision. I used to watch every year.

We will be picking the Irish song tonight. 5 acts battling it out, but its pretty much a foregone conclusion that Jedward will be representing us again this year.

And Jedward it is....... again! They are like two fraggles made Human, jumpin and cart wheelin all over the place, the song is ok , i dont think its as catchy as last years LIPSTICK .....this song is called Waterline

 

here is the link

love doesn't ask why

speaks from the heart and never explains

dont you know that love doesn't think twice

it can come all at once or whisper from a distance

We chose our song tonight. It is called När jag blundar and Pernilla Kalsson will sing it.

It is a nice ballad but I have doubts of its success, it's a bit bland. I'm happy that our song is in Swedish for a change, since it's one of our two official languages. Only once before a Swedish song has represented Finland, it was in 1990.

If you like to see Pernillas performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y3qTSyDZAg

 

Has any of you actually been at the ES Contest? I haven't.

The Dutch entry is known!

360 degrees different than last year! Hopefully it'll take us further than Shalali shalala! (WHich still get stuck in your head if you hear a few notes! So it WAS a good song ;) :P )

 

Joan Franka was one of the first contestants of The Voice of Holland.

I think Jedward was always a foregone conclusion. I agree the song isn't as catchy as Lipstick. It also requires a tiny bit more vocal performance this year, which also doesn't help the twins. But once they get the full space of the Eirovision stage, they will give such an enthusiastic and jump filled performance that they should get out of their semi final. We are in the first semi final this year.

 

Finland: good performance. I like the dancer in the front. She's like a projection of the main singer. I especially liked when they synchronised their hand gestures. But that effect may be lost if there is no walkway in the contest this year. And while it's handy to have songs in English for most of us, it's always nice when a country has the balls to use their native language. Though I never knew Swedish was an official language of Finland.

 

The Netherlands: Catchy little chorus and a sweet song. She has a distinctive voice which is always good. The costumes are a bit gimmicky, but hey, it's Eurovision! People would remember the American Indians when it came to voting time.

Engelbert Humperdinck is going to the Eurovision for the UK! :blink:

 

Not that it's that bad to send a 70+ crooner, but they don't even know the song, cos it still has to be recorded and such! :jawdrop: they have a lot of faith in him!! (Or no faith in the current UK singers..... )

 

 

John, she got a lot of shite poured over her cos of her outfit... the Indian headdress isn't that bad, but her dress was really bland... I hope that's changes at least...

Engelbert Humperdinck is either a car crash of a mistake or an absolute stroke of genius... either way it's going to be very interesting to see how the rest of Europe likes it (or not!)

As a Brit myself, I long ago gave up hope of us ever doing well in Eurovision again, so I've no expectations of the song doing well... will be watching on the night for a laugh though!

The official video for the UK Entry : Love Can Set You Free"

 

I like it. It's old-school. Simple, melodic and has a strong finish.

Humperdinky-dory :thumbsup:

 

 

hm.. well.. I kind of like it.. but he looks outdated and reminds me of Julio Iglesias ( his hair)...

and what a booooooooooring videoclip....

well she already gave up the Indian thing. I think, or it looked like, that she will wear a small feather in her hair.

The song is strong enough without the Indian hat. By the way, the hat came from a Brideclothing shop. But people were

arguing if it was a good idea to stay wearing that hat, so she finally decided not to wear it anymore.

Spain has a great contender. Her name is Pastora Soler and the song is called Quédate Conmigo (which means Stay With Me)

I'm sorry for that Davey! Really am. Your young version Cher with a glam native american makeover surely cought some attention though....

 

 

It was fun to hear Swedish being sung in the contest for the first time since Sweden sang in Swedish in 1999, so thank you for that Finland. It was really nice of you! I would love to hear what the Finnish people thought about sending a song in Swedish.

 

Jedward was really fun to see there again. Although their song wasn't that great - too much Westlife - I still enjoyed it coz of their show, they are quite something. Although I do think their third member isn't that happy he wasn't invited to join them:

http://indiereader.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/edward-cullen.jpg

 

Norway wasn't super good but I can't deny the charm.

 

I don't know what the UK is thinking, can't tell if it's a joke or a genius move.

 

And, it's hard to be humble... it really is, because i can't remember the last time we sent somthing with this quality. I am actually surprised the Swedish people voted for Loreen to win since they rarely acknowledge quality when it comes to our entry for the ESC. And I think the chances are high we actually win this year. But things can turn in this contest.

 

And the most obvious threat to Sweden getting the top spot is... Russia.

I'm glad Portugal did get the final, they always chose the worst songs for the contest

i really can't understand how the worst songs in this competition, Ukraine and Macedonia , went to the finals! Ukraine is an example of mindless lyrics, screaming instead of singing and being offkey the whole time. Macedonia was even worse! I had to lower the volumelevel to not expose my ears to long to the screaming wichsounding vocals of the leadsinger...

Why did Slovenia not went to the final? Unbelievable! it shows how much bad taste some people have!

And Sweden, that song sounds sooooooo familiar to me. I cannot pick which song it is, but to me there is nothing original about it!

Some Swedish experts mention Italy and Spain as possible winners. From the clips shown in the show Italy didn't get my attention at all but I noticed that Spain had some qualities though.
