Eurovision Song Contest 2012

[Sus-Ana]

Moldova and Albania are a joke. I'm always surprised at how such utter shit gets through.

I voted for Albania. It is a singing contest after all and boy, could she sing. Plus she looked like she came from another planet which is always cool. Each to their own I guess.

What do the jury's base their marks on? Surely vocal performance must rank pretty highly thus resulting in the Grannies being severely marked down? Looking at Eurovision Odds Sweden is being caught up by Russia...

I really enjoyed Romania, closely followed by Cyprus and Greece.

It's a SONG contest, not a SINGING contest. And the song is utter shit. She sure acted like it was a championship in lung capacity, though.

I'm quite pleased with the songs that went through. Eight of the songs I wanted to go through after seeing the performances did, and the two which didn't were my number 6 and 10 so I'm not THAT bothered.

I'm not sure she was actually singing though. More like some kind of shrieking.

Norway and Sweden had best get through tonight, they both have great songs and good performances. There are at least a few gems amongst the shit.

[citoig]

Surely Sweden is a gimme? It's even getting blasted on the music channels, which is a bizarre experience.

That's your opinion. Clearly some people didn't think it was shit seeing as it went through. I personally thought the Russian grannies' song was silly, but a lot of people seemed to like them. Although I'm not sure they went through because of the quality of their song. Who could have denied those little old ladies their place in the final? It just would have been cruel, haha.

[duffy]

This is strange.

[duffy]

Well Inna has aged a lot, hasn't she?

[Conalae]

So, so much better than Tuesdays Semi already.

[Resi12]

This is shit!

[Sus-Ana]

Really? I haven't heard anything particularly interesting yet.

[duffy]

Serbia was quite good, as was Portugal. Loreen's next!

[Resi12]

Winner!

(FUCK OFF CHARACTER LIMIT!)

*cue meltdown over slow mo camera*

[duffy]

INCREDIBLE. The best Eurovision song in years.

[citoig]

She just needed Bjork's dress from the Oceania performance, and it would have been perfect.

[Sus-Ana]

I barely understood a word of what the Swedish singer was singing. Not sure why she is favourite. Well, it's a decent enough song.

[Resi12]

From triumph to tragedy, I really fucking hate these entries. They're beyond ludicrous, I'd actually love the ESC to stop them competing at all over putting out shit music.

[duffy]

I always love Georgian entries. This is no exception. *hides in corner*

[Resi12]

This semi final so far Loreen aside is tragic. Then again I only tuned in on Slovenia so there might have been good songs but still....

[citoig]

Did we just see Sasha Baron Cohen's new character? Jeez...

[Resi12]

This semi final is pathetic, do we think they put all the shit ones on here to make Loreen stand out more?

[duffy]

I hope these qualify:
Sweden
Norway
Serbia
Portugal
Georgia
Turkey
Lithuania
Malta

[citoig]

In no major order, I'd like:


Malta
Sweden
Lithuania
Belarus
Ukraine
Macedonia
Slovenia
Estonia
Norway
Croatia

But I'll accept anything other than Turkey getting through.

[WowWowWowWow]

Hallelujah!!!
