***----- Eurovision 2014 | Copenhagen -----***

[Efour]

The best 4 songs came in 1-4.

GF won 250 quid!!!!!!

I had tacos for dinner and some strong Norrlands Guld!

 

[Nymins]

Best song always rises above the block voting, so that old argument is void. Well done to Austria, not my favourite personally but in the top 3.

 

[Rojin]

Not really. Also all the promo work they do pushing songs across Europe needs to stop. The media hype around Beard was huge.

 

[MikeB]

I swear to god Cupid Stunt had her hair died and just won

 

[Cosimo]

I might be showing my age, but every time I see the bearded lady/man, can't help thinking about the scene from Blackadder with Lord Flashheart:

Flashheart: Thanks bridesmaid, like the beard. Gives me something to hang on to.

And the inevitable YouTube link (35 seconds in):

Danish tele did a brilliant job of that. The stage and lighting were epic.

Agreed I wonder what Graham was really thinking when his commentary booth got invaded it needed the subtitle 'Busted!!'

I assume he was in on the act, else too spontaneous to know he'd be specifically joking about the Chinese language?
They didn't have a similar recorded piece for each TV channel did they? and cut to each nation in turn?

The piece worked well.
I thought the show was good, the stage and set were outstanding, rather like the voice stage on a larger concept, very very good.

Best four songs came top 4.

 

[krooton]

I thought Hungary was the best.

I'm not sure if he knew as after he was saying how the camera man was offering him his hand and he was initially puzzled as to what he wanted

 

[Jokester]

Yeah was live and by the look of his (worried) face I would say he definitely wasn't in on it!

 

[AshenEdge]

Also I think he would have shielded his wine, as you could hear him fussing that confetti had gone in it

 

[KIA]

The dude's attention grabbing stunt worked. GG.

 

[Mr Jones]

Is it me or is the whole judging and Tele voting crap when the nation voted for Poland to win, only to not get a single point because the judges voted Poland down?

Also reflect how other political voting for countries for Russia... Buy the judges and you'll probably get 8+

 

[KatanaDV20]

I gotta admit I liked the Swedish song & that gal is a fittie too!

The set design was amazing, in fact most the time I was admring the engineering and IT expertise involved in it all. Specially those amazing displays that completely changed the feel of the stage.

 

[AGD]

Austria had the best song and the best performance.

Poland were terrible, the song was awful and people only voted for them because they got their **** out.

 

[Monkeynut]

I thought Austria's song sounded like a Bond theme, did anyone else notice this?

 

[Things change I've changed]

I thought Austria's song sounded like a Bond theme, did anyone else notice this?

Yep, listening to it now and that was the first thing that came to mind.

 

[Merlin5]

This was worthy of me making a gif

 

[Mr Jones]

I thought Austria's song sounded like a Bond theme, did anyone else notice this?

I did too.

We just need a James Bond: Rise of A Phoenix movie...

or something like such, with an Austrian Villian...
