Eurovision Song Contest

[Niniel]

Is there anyone here who is going to watch it today? A few years ago there was a guy in the Band that always hosted a Eurovision Song Contest thread but he is not here now. 

 

I will watch it until I fall asleep. :D  I have not seen any of the performances except for Sweden´s. I think Måns Zelmerlöw will go far. Top 5 at least. The song is okay, not super great, but the performance is great. He is so cute and charming. 

 

Do you have any favourites? 

 

 

 

[Sooh]

I'll probably at least half vote....

 

Sweden's song is good this year. Can't say I've listened enough to the rest of them to have any favorites. Doubt that Norway has a chance, but Europe has proved me wrong before...

 

 

Oh! I did kinda like Australia's song.

[Niniel]

Is Australia competing? 

[Sooh]

Yeah! It's a special year, so Australia is allowed to compete, because apparently they are crazy about the ESC!

[Niniel]

Aha. Very strange, but it will be fun to watch. 

 

 

My first challenge is to stay awake until it starts. lol 

[Sooh]

Lol that bad, huh?

[Niniel]

No, just tired. It turns out I'm going to see it with my family so they will have to keep me awake. :D

[Guest]

i won't be watching... and Belgium is doomed to fail lol

That guy was me! Well, I am just seeing what DM has to offer, which explains why I am around at the moment.

 

Unfortunately, I am not a fan of Sweden's song. Clever choreography but a bland song.

 

Serbia and Russia are my 2 favourites. I don't think it is a great line up this year...too many songs sounding the same.

[Sooh]

Uk was... interesting...

 

I liked Sweden...

 

 

Serbia and Russia are very politically correct, but I guess that can work...

 

Watching while chatting on skype with other people watching now

[Corki]

But the UK won't win unfortunately. I did feel it was missing something...it could have been that upbeat track for the contest, but it wasn't. 

[Corki]

Serbia and Russia are very politically correct, but I guess that can work...

 

Yes...but they are also good songs with good performances to boot.

[Sooh]

You should come join the commentary party on skype as well Corki!

 

 

Australia did great!

[Corki]

Got my Skype set up - my username is valhalla_glory if you want to add me.

 

And Greece - a very close copy of Conchita's song from last year.

[Niniel]

Hi Corki! Great to see you!

 

I like Sweden. :) It's not the best song but Måns is great (and yummy).

 

Norway was really good.

[Corki]

Maybe I should drop by every May to host the DM Eurovision party!

[Niniel]

Absolutely! I miss your threads.

[Niniel]

I liked Latvia.

 

Chae - Belgium was good.

 

England not so much.

[Sooh]

Belgium wasn't bad... I just don't think it's the right audience...

[Niniel]

I agree.

[Niniel]

This is so boring.

[Corki]

Time to be proved totally wrong, but my guess of the challengers and dark horses are as follows:

 

- Serbia, Russia, and Sweden will be the main challengers

- Georgia, Latvia, Spain and Italy are my dark horses

[Niniel]

I think Australia will get a lot of votes too.

[Corki]

What does Europe see in the Swedish song??

[Niniel]

Woohoo!
