Nah, let's be honest: They sing in english so that no one completely understands the lyrics.

Also I'd totes take the singer out for a Nando's

Wasn't this the year that Lithuania had a song declaring themselves the winners? How did that not win!?

Man all I want is a handy way to view all of the ridiculous songs but this Eurovision website is confusing

What are you doing over there with your websites, Europeans

Lost Salient

Oh whew I found the youtube playlist

Everything is fine now

Can you link me, LS?

The little metal nerd inside me cried out in terror when you called Lordi a Black Metal band.

I didn't. The Black Metal band did not enter the international competition but was in the national Norwegian competition to be the Norwegian entry at the Eurovision final. Besides, Lordi is from Finland.

It's wasn't that good of black metal song, anyway. It's not like Darkthrone went 1993 and entered Under a Funeral Moon.

One of my favorite bands was almost in the 2010 Eurovision.

Editor's choice: Finland is absolutely hilarious and Malta is by far the best song this Eurovision

Wiet

Also hi, long time no foruming

Snicketysnick

Skimming through things so far I think Ireland is going to do pretty well, I quite like Denmark and France as well.

Seems like there are a lot of wubs this year, or is it just me?

Gumpy

We should have known that Eurovision was the only siren song sweet enough to bring you back to us Wiet

I'm sad Turkey isn't gonna be performing this year, I miss the manboat.

Lots of wubs, hidden wubs, blatant wubs.

It's okay to be back

mightyjongyo

I don't mind all the wubs, I'm pretty fond of them.

LTM

The Romanian wub drop caught me by surprise.

I wasn't expecting it, then BAM!, wubs.

Liiya

Edited the OP - thanks @Wiet!!

facetious

If I have time over the next couple days in between doing the million things I need to prepare for to move for the summer/prepare for my job I'll try to do track-by-track reviews of all the songs like I did last year.

I'm sure you're all on the edges of your seats.

jippee

Wait how did I miss this thread by THREE days? Damn this whole coronation thing really throws me off my normalcy.

Mr Bubbles

Is it me, or does this years UK entry sound like 'Maria' by Blondie?

No, that's just the blonde leather-clad aging singer with a low/coarse sounding voice. Oh, and the melody. So not at all. What are you, some sort of commie eastern block sympathizer?

I wish it did cause I bloody love that song!

I may or may not have that album lying around on cassette somewhere. Tis a bloody good song!

This makes me feel old on two counts

If she entered that song she'd win for sure.

Ah don't be daft!

facetious

What is this .. cassette of which you speak?

If you'll excuse me, I shall put on my gramophone records.

Snicketysnick

You know, I bet there would be some who would buy music on wax cylinders if it was available. For that true analogue sound or some such reasoning.

if we're still talking blondie/Debz Harry I've got several vinyl 45's fresh from the press (at the time) lying around which makes me feel old on three counts? four?

edit: on the other hand having "Total eclipse of the heart" or "Holding out for a hero" on vinyl wouldn't make it much better

facetious

I would just because it would be cool.

That's what every wax cylinder enthousiast says. You really can't stand heat, don't you?

Edited in the final HD version. It's worth seeing. Also I'm sorry, I voted as hard as I could. At least it was fun seeing Robin win, he was adorably shocked.

Eurovision! Every year for the last eight or so years my immediate group of friends have gotten together to laugh hugely at this thing. We also used to get drunk, but that stopped when Terry Wogan left. It just wasn't as fun without him setting the pace in both alcohol consumption speed and bitterly sarcastic commentary.

jippee

So you need an Irishman to tell you when to drink and when to laugh?

This song sounds incredibly familiar, but it's not officially based on another song. Can someone help me?
