Bittersweet Candy Bowl

It’s that time of the year again! 25 acts from across the continent gather to sing their heart outs. There’ll be laughs, tears and questionable fashion senses. Some acts will blow you away (literally in some cases), while others will make you curl in the foetus position, slowly rolling and asking whatever deity/ies exist/s to end your torturous pain.

And let’s not forget the political aspects of the show! The Eastern Block will vote for the Motherland so that Papa Putin doesn’t cut the gas supply again. The Vikings will gather (hopefully Iceland won’t get too gassy ). Israel will try to divert attention away from their apartheid-like state with that tremendously awful ballad and the UK will send the Emerald Isle a sizeable chunk of points in hope that maybe this year they won’t end at the bottom half.

So, for those that watch it in Europe and around the globe ie, the Aussies as there’s always a couple getting picked on by the vicious duo (or this year a threesome) of presenters pecking at them with the same bloody daft questions, in about five minutes the courtains roll!

Surprise surprise. Finland didn’t win.

poor, poor, Finland…

i can’t believe my country sent out harel skaat there…
he’s the faggy punk that won the Israeli version of American idol… he sucks and his song is stupid…
(especially if you understand the words to it&hellip

You know, if you say Putin with a French accent it becomes a French curse word.

you know,i live in Israel.
and every time the eurovision comes on,there’s a nationwide moment of awkwardness
when Germany gives us a high score,and we all feel as if their trying to buy us off…

Ooh! More comedy on television! Just what I needed!

And Germany won. Good for them I suppose.

Huh. I’d watch ESC if I had any remote interest in it. ^_^

WWWWOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO we totally WON!! x3

ok ok I know 2nd time ever but this is still great

Woo hoo way to go Germany.
I still wish Turkey had of won.
Cos seriously those guys kicked ass.

Oh and did anyone else see what went wrong in Spains song?
Funny as hell XD

@Pregnant Sigh 83

That interruption was the best part in their performance. Now that Germany won, I might go and see it live next year!

Now, I know the UK was dead awful, but how in hell did the bloody butterflies get 12 points?

….What is this Eurovision? Why is everyone excited and stuff?

i belive Ocular the eye god alow the Europeans to gaze into the future for one day a year and every country competes to get the chance but only one country is allowed victory

GO AMERICA!

AMERICA!
FUCK YEAH!

..neigh

Horselord! I found you!

neigh?

I have a surprise for you! *Chases after with coconuts*

@Ace the Horselord

Eurovision is one of the biggest singing competitions in the world. Every year 25 countries compete to win the Eurovision and for the chance to host the next one. France, Spain, Germany, UK and the previous year’s winner get through straight away. The remainder 20 come from the semi finals in which almost every country in the continent competes. There’s a large show usually on a Saturday when millions of people around the globe glue themselves to their TV’s (and as of this year computers) to watch Europe battle it out. Throughout the show all Europeans vote for their favourite act/s (not their own country of course ). Apart from the singing, people care for the hidden political aspects of the show. Which neighbours will vote for each other, where the coveted 12 points lie that sort of thing.

@Goldwulf Q. Triplesexy

Got to say, if it were like that, it’d be bloody awesome!

Oh, and you missed the slap fight, Ace. ^_^

And ILB is now my second in command.

We won, by the way.

You wish!

~~~
<(*-*< ^(*-*)^ (>*-*)>

That’s nice. neigh

Oh, on-topic (feels strange, doesn’t it? ^_^): After listening to some of the entries I must say that Germany deserved to win. I didn’t like her pronunciation, but it was a fun song harmonically.

Next up on Polish Idol.

Germany =

U.K =

Azerbaijan =

Whole damn thing = DX

@ILB

The funny thing is she sounded like she was from the Soho. Could have been the entry for the UK.

@Blaze

What can I say, the act was dreadful! And as for Azerbaijan, who gets Beyonce’s choreographer to work on an European act?

Heh, Pronkat, you’d almost wish she was the UK entry seeing how you take the last place every year. ^_^

Hey I’m not British mate! But yeah, the UK’s entries are dead awful! And even though they wouldn’t win, France’s entries are a highlight for me.

I know, you’re really Argentinian but as far as I know you live in… wait, was that Northern Ireland or Ireland?

Beyonce gives the UK a pity dance. If it were me I’d feel like the obviously lonely morbidly obese guy in the corner of the strip club. (But don’t actually go near him. He’s a rapist.)

@ILB

I live in Ireland. Though it doesn’t matter because since I started watching it in 2002 their entries have been bloody awful as well. It’s like they took that Father Ted episode seriously and will never win the Eurovision again.

Oh, my mistake, then. I was certain you were a part of the UK. Until I started thinking about it, that is. ^_^

I love Father Ted.

DRINK

By the way, Pronkat, I meant “you” as a person, not “you” as in Ireland. I only just noticed the faulty wording.

Aye, one of the best British comedies ever!

FECK!

GIRLS!

hmmm British things think…..i love doctor who and ive seen Father Ted once i think…….Two weeks ago a drunk British chick grabed my junk at the club before passiing out….. thats about it

Ah, the drunk slappers eh?
