    No discussion of the Eurovision would be complete without a mention of the Swiss's amazing 2007 entry.

    DJ Bobo - Vampires Are alive

    Didn't make it to the final unfortunately.

    It's one dude aad post-production effects. Not sure how they will deal with that live. I imagine mirrors and costume changes. Spectacular.

    I'm giving up a roleplaying session for a Eurovision party.

    You'd better impress me, Europe.

    I kind of want England to win only so that we have to host Eurovision the same year as the Olympics. Cue wacky misunderstandings and a Moldovan in a snakeskin bodyglove winning the 110m hurdles.

    We'd be fools not to just fold the two events together!

    Diving and gymnastics would definitely benefit from opening the judging up to a public vote.

    Especially as within three minutes of the event starting the world and his mother are complete experts. "Oo, mucked up the landing there." "I wouldn't have risked the double myself." "Ouch, that looked painful."

    I just need to express my shock about how the Dutch Team (YES WE'RE A TEAM) crashed into a taxi in Düsseldorf, Kinda sorta REALLY hard, and nobody on these forums, nobody even cares.

    I hate you all.

    It looks like the news media don't care either. Do you have a link?

    Right, so it looks like we'll arrive at my girlfriend's parents house before this starts assuming traffic doesn't fuck us.

    Then I just have to compel them to watch it. Hopefully the French commentary is as amusing as the British stuff usually is.

    Maybe they had to vanish the bodies first and find replacement J's before they could update the website.
    I can't wait to look for "Paul is dead"-style clues in tonight's performance

    I am glad I am not hated, and I am glad you don't blame me for Blue, I have enough things to feel bad about on my country's behalf!

    Are they all okay, and able to perform? I'm sure they will, its Eurovision after all.

    Try this one (it has no pesky facebook feed that might cause problems):

    Moldova has a bunch of guys in pointy hats, cones flying forth from the screen, a lady in a white dress (with a cone hat) on a unicycle randomly appearing and arrows flying forth from the screen.
