So its that time of the year again, and this year its a full-week extravaganza., with two semi-finals on Tuesday and Thursday and then the big final on Saturday.
I know that for most people Eurovision is just tuning in for Terry Wogans musings while mocking all the outfits, but I've really got into it this year (yes I have no life). Just wondered if anyone else was into it and had some opinions on who will win it.
I'd say Russia have the best chance. I'm a huge Dima Bilan fan thanks to his success at the contest in 2006, and think that he has a lot of fans in the east that will vote for him. However, my favourite song and performance is a tough call. A week ago I would have said my favourites were Iceland, but Ukraine's been growing on me a lot, and Sweden is pretty good. Loved Switzerland from the minute I heard it. Oh, and of course I'm supporting Belarus again - I mean, Ruslan is just a replica of last years best entrant, Dima Koldun.
Anyway, I ramble. If anyone wants to know anything about the contest this year, feel free to ask. Just wondering about people's opinion and to spread some eurovision awareness, hehe.
When is it?
I'll probably watch with my takeaway and alcohol as with every year if i'm in (Y)
No idea who's on it.
Don't give a toss.
Just watch for the giggles.
"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."
Eurovision's rubbish TV, but good rubbish.
Terry Wogan is the best bit, alongside trashy food, drink and random bits of hilarity throughout the programme.
Oh, it's rubbish, but oh so enjoyable.
I don't care where we come, who's in it, and who wins. Haha.

I like watching it on the big night but if its on a saturday im going to miss it this year for years i aint missed it once now work will get in the way =[
♥ If you don't like how things are, change it. You are not a tree! ♥
I've watched it since I was a kid, despite the trashyness and the fixed results and all that garb. It's one tradition of mine that I've kept, something from childhood that's not changed. Yup
I do love Terry =)
The only time you will find real light is when you're searching in the dark..
Yeah, he upset the Danish a few years ago I think. He didnt realise that his popularity as a commentator meant that people across europe tune into the BBC broadcast. He insulted the Danish presenters or summit like that, and had to apologise. Don't think he's banned from the country though.
I love eurovision. I like scoring and insulting all of the bands every year.
Plus, Im always waiting eagerly for the next Lordi-style random entry =] that was an amusingly good year.
I may sit down with a drink from every country and enjoy. sounds much better than usual.
the bin man from x factor.
i dont really like eurovision but if its on i might watch it.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB
most likely. I watched the rehersal for it, and he has a good voice, but they've gone really overboard with the pyro's - you cant even see him! (maybe that was the idea - the man really cant dance)
