Eurovision!

Dinomania · 25 May 2010 at 11:55

It probably fits better in "Music, Box Office, TV & Books" but last year's big Eurovision thread was in GD, so here it'll go

Anyway, for the first time in several years I will actually watch it! Yay! And we'll play the drinking game with the scoring (you pick a country after the performances, then as the scores come in, points 1-4 is 1 finger, 5-8 is 2 fingers, 8 and 10 are 3 fingers, and 12 is a bottoms-up)

So what's the deal? Has the UK got anyone good this year? Any amusing performances due (last one I watched included an ice-skater with a big nose prancing around a singer - Romania maybe)? Is anyone watching the semi-final tonight (I'm out unfortunately)? Do you think we'll make the proper final?

Also, how's Graham getting on? How does he compare to Ol' Tel? Does he also get soggy on sherry and giggle his way through performances?

Tellll mmmeeeeeee!

I was going to accuse you of being gay then I saw you were a girl.

Dinomania · 25 May 2010 at 11:57

Come on, someone

I may consider watching, me and the my friends are thinking of something to do that evening so drinking games sound good.

Eurovision is usually always a laugh.

Westyfield2 · 25 May 2010 at 12:50

I thought our entry was going to be someone called Niamh Kavanagh.

Whoever it is they're bound to be better than the turkey at least.

Not that I have any interest anyway.

Greenlizard0 · 25 May 2010 at 12:58

People have house parties for this every year, it's not my thing at all.

I read in the TV Guide that it's JLC.

No idea. Really. Think it's something like that television 'talent' show but in this case each country sends a representative.

Yes and going on her previous record, she's likely to win it if people vote on performance and not geographically.

Nope, definitely Niamh Kavanagh, all the entries are listed here on wikipedia.

Very boring song though.

Lol! Dizzee Rascal could do better than that.

antijoke · 25 May 2010 at 13:09

Stupid TV guide lied to me again. lol.

Graham Norton wasn't awful last year but he'll never top good old Terry.

Azerbaijan are massive favourites this year, UK are 250/1. :eek:
