Hey Munkus, if you want to come visit the UK I'm sure we can time it right so we could all watch Eurovision together!
Golly gosh. Make it a thing. Put all the things I just do not understand about your culture and slap it together into a hodge podge of misunderstandings.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Whatever do you mean? Flying The Flag is the very heigh of English achievement! :rotate:
Damn yooou!
@Syphyre when it first came out people used to take it seriously, but these days not all the countries do hence the daft entries. Some are still serious and it is considered a good thing to win, but some countries think its lame and uncool. So its a mixed bag really, but most people watching do not take it seriously though. The UK and Ireland do not take it seriously, but Norway seems to, for example!
Just because we don't have terrible artists show up every year does not mean we take it seriously!
Mind you, when Rybak won by getting all the 8s, that was pretty cool.
Welp. Now that I have been introduced to this, I do believe I am going to follow it. Thank you Wiet for finding a way to take up more of my time! Or maybe this is a blessing in disguise; it will give me something to watch when I'm up in the wee hours with a newborn.

Maybe England should co-opt Cee Lo Green and do "Fuck You"

Okay! I am looking forward to showing you around our lovely continent, and I am glad about how enthusiastic you are!
Mmm true, Legba, true!

I don't know if anything can live up to last year's Eurovision for me though
It fell on senior week at my college, which meant that only seniors and people they were sleeping with were on campus, with no obligations whatsoever
So essentially every day I would wake up and stumble to the living room wearing nothing but a Hawaiian shirt and watch Eurovision until my lady friend woke up
I really recommend everyone looking at this thread to give the Ukraine 2007 entry a listen because it's pretty much everything Eurovision can possibly aspire to be.
Basically yeah.
I legitimately love the song, too. I just really really like accordions.

I was just really tickled that - christ, was it Switzerland? I don't even remember - basically put out a bluegrass band amidst all the ridiculous bombast that is Eurovision.
Of course I knew they were doomed, but it made me really happy.

Oh yeah, Iceland!
I loved Switzerland too though, they were another of my favourites. Cheerful indeed.

Probably not gaudy enough to do well, though.
Poor Humperdinck, doomed to fail because of those nasty mainlanders.

Humperdink, beaming, arms wide open

England would have sent Rebecca Black if they could.
Heck yeah!
What the fuck
She isn't wearing a silly hat or look like some sort of moon person
Does she even know what kind of competition she's signed up for
Dead chuffed Europe has the sense of humour to produce it

To me, it's just a damn good song and she's got a great voice.
Kinda like their winner last year, had some over the top staging, but in the end it was just a nice song.

Can we please only use relevant criteria when judging Eurovision

Oh yeah, I don't mean I like it in a "haha this is riduclous!" way. I mean, I like it.
It didn't really surprise me.
