There's some nice ballads in there (Poland, Israel, UK). A lot of it is crap of course. My favorite song is Cyprus' Firefly. Patricia Kaas is also pretty good; and Czechs are a fun comedy bit and probably Tamas' pick. :P

Denmark's Brinck sounds very American. Switzerland has stolen from half a dozen pop songs, it seems, esp. U2 (they are produced by the same guy).

Patricia Kaas?  Woah France is going old school.

That song gives me goosebumps  :blush:

Still not quite as listenable as Metaxa's Firefly IMO, though.

The Irish song is pretty bad. It's a very generic and repetitive pop song.

If I'm free on the night I usually skip the singing part and just watch the voting, which is alot more entertaining, predicting who each country will give their points to.  :D

The Brit is too black thus will be hated by the Euros and hence we will once again enjoy last place  :bowler:
We should really join Italy in sitting out this crap.

Totally.

Isn't there going to be no Terry Wogan this year though? I'm sure last year was his last...or maybe its this....or my memory is so bad maybe it was even 2 years ago. Its going to suck majorly :(

Well she has been around for 25 years because she is good.

I blame this for inspiring American Idol.

Hoping I don't look like a lesser version of Habsburgs movie prizes....

My favourite: Germany
Iceland: Decent pop song, singer easy on the eye, and not related to me. Upper half finish.
Norway: Has been on the radio too much so I've stopped hating it... don't think 3 minutes is enough, but he's a little kid with a 1000 watt smile, it's a possible dark horse.

Other than that, the winner will be the up tempo happy song where the singer looks like he/she's having the most fun and stage while still being about to pronounce the words in english.

Which act I'd like to take to bed?: Romania, after feeding the three of them.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Btw, Germany's act will be supported on stage by Dita von Teese.

Excellent.

Denmark actually fields a decent song this time. I doubt we'll go through to the finals though, the eastern conspiracy will make sure of it.

Can someone translate for me: "Et s'il fallait le faire?"

'And if I had to' or 'And if it had to be done'

The start is

If I had to I would stop Earth
I would kill the light, that you rested sleeping
If to please you I had to raise contrary winds
In a dead desert I would find the sea




The complete lyrics:

S’il fallait le faire, j’arrêterais la terre
J’éteindrais la lumière, que tu restes endormi
S’il fallait pour te plaire lever des vents contraires
Dans un désert sans vie, je trouverais la mer

Et s’il fallait le faire, j’arrêterais la pluie
Elle fera demi-tour le reste de nos vies
S’il fallait pour te plaire t’écouter chaque nuit
Quand tu parles d’amour, j’en parlerais aussi

Que tu regardes encore dans le fond de mes yeux
Que tu y vois encore le plus grand des grands feux
Et que ta main se colle sur ma peau, où elle veut
Un jour si tu t’envoles, je suivrais, si je peux

Et s’il fallait le faire, je repousserais l’hiver
A grands coups de printemps et de longs matins clairs
S’il fallait pour te plaire, j’arrêterais le temps
Que tous tes mots d’hier restent à moi maintenant

Que je regarde encore dans le bleu de tes yeux
Que tes deux mains encore se perdent dans mes cheveux
Je ferai tout plus grand et si c’est trop ou peu
J’aurais tort tout le temps, si c’est ça que tu veux

Je veux bien tout donner, si seul’ment tu y crois
Mon cœur veut bien saigner, si seul’ment tu le vois
Jusqu’à n’être plus rien que l’ombre de tes nuits
Jusqu’à n’être plus rien qu’une ombre qui te suit

Et s’il fallait le faire
