Apparently it has completed sneaked up on me, the semi final is on TV right now. :hmm:
So far its the typical crap.
Anything tolerable?
I haven't even had time to listen to the Danish song. Likely conclusion: it sucks.

That's always a safe bet with Eurovision. I can't watch this semi as I'm sober.
I'm throwing a lawyers & gays party on Saturday to celebrate the kitsch of the finals with a bunch of margaritas (regular, strawberry and blue) and a bunch of Mexican dishes.
There may be up to three women in attendance. :ph34r:
I have to pay for this shit with my TV taxes. :ultra:

Is that some weird Polish take on a "Tarts and vicars" party? :P
It's not the same without the teenage Russian lesbians from years back.

As usual I am attending a party with a beer and flag-decorated cupcake for every nation.

What kind of Mexican food do you get in Poland?
We sent our 'Homens da Luta' ('Men of the Struggle'), a very popular group that speaks of the need to fight Capitalism and ensure the triumph of the Revolution of the Proletariat (their catch song was 'Fight, fight, Comrade, fight!').
But the capitalist dogs eliminated them :mad:
The WSJ even mentioned them:
http://blogs.wsj.com/brussels/2011/05/10/portugal-bailout-lamented-in-song/
Their song went like:
There's no point in tightening the belt
There's no point in complaining
There's no point in frowning
And rage is pointless, it won't help you
Many people advise you to watch out
Many people wish to silence you
Many people want you to feel resentful
Many people want to sell you the air itself

Is it americanized or legit? It's a lot like Chinese food.

That song was terrible. The ethnicity of the performer and the song don't matter, it was just bad.

There are Ghaneans and Morroccans on the Norwegian Soccer Team, not very odd. In fact, an icelander has represented norway in eurovision as well.
And we're off to the main event. Damn this is terrible. :lol: :cheers:
"Dam dis is raciss" was her extremely unpredictable response to getting fucked. :rolleyes:
God I hate Niggers.
So far the typical tat mostly.
Is it just me or are My Chemical Romance representing Denmark? That song sounds so damn like Black Parade.
What was wrong with the Hungarian lady? She just looked....off.
Oddly enough Ireland are the best yet. That Jedward could be the best really shows the shittyness of Eurovision...
France. :yuk:
Any quality skirt yet?

"Good" in the context of Eurovision. ;)
LOL.
The BBC's subtitles called Blue 'Blew'. They so predicted the future.
I'm supporting Eire.
The gnomes of Moldova. :lol:
I actually quite like Moldova, decent pop punky, skaish song.
Despite them looking total twits.

Our performer did up and die just before the competition.. so we do have a bit of an excuse for a bad performance.
The Germans are attempting levity. :o
I approve of Georgia's band.
They're cool with the woman, like a non-crap Evanescance....then in comes the guy Limp Bizkit style with crappy rock-rap ruining it.

Hell, just give the trophy to Lena again, this year's song is "better" than her last.
Or alternatively just give it to the male host. :lol:
GB 12 POINTS! :huh: :wacko: :showoff:
Lena is weird. All sexy and...Kylie Minoguey or something.
Last year she was just ripping off Kate Nash, right down to the accent.
Ireland are doing dissapointing :(

Having had the semi finals is good as it messes up the tactical voting a little.

I really hope Sweden doesn't win...
Man, Azerbaijan's economy is going to collapse next year.
Fucking Azerbajian. Our gaggle of gays unilaterally voted for Sweden. Still, the Azerbajian nelly should be happy. He and the girls won.
Thank god it wasn't Sweden. Will be interesting for it to be over in Azerbaijan, good for them, I'm sure most people in western Europe don't even know where that is.
Apparently the woman is from London.
Really surprising winner though. It was crap.

Sweden was cool. We decided the lead singer looked like my boyfriend, so I forced the rest to vote for him.
I think Germany was probably the best, artistic quality wise.
Does Azerbaijan even have electricity? :huh:
And does this mean Italy has stopped pouting?
Our gaydars: still working:

For some reason, I actually watched big parts of the show.
Apart from the appalling quality of the music, where only two songs really managed to stand out (and not because of qualitative difference, but rather a different sound), I found the show epilepsy-inducing and the German hosts about as charming as plastic forks.
I realise that I am not exactly in the target audience, and that it's primarily a camp-fest, but still...
What did you expect? Eurovision is the "Gay Euroean Championship" (or the "Gay Superbowl", to put it in Yank terms). It's done by gays for gays. :P

And the only people commenting on it are fags.
Our little party was a "a bit" surprised by Azerbaijan winning, not least because their entry seemed like such an unimaginative, boring song - but then again that seems to be what was sought after.
My favorites were:
France
Italy
Ireland
Slovenia
Denmark
with honorable mentions for Moldova, Sweden, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Why the fuck does Greece keep getting so many votes with such crappy entries? Hip-hop mixed with folk hymn? Seriously.

Seems a bit too big to be done "for gays". Gays may be commonplace in the entertainment industry, but they're not that large a market.

The French "operatic" number was mind-numbingly boring. He should have done some modern/pop/rock mash-up out of that song (the way the "opera aria" was done in the Fifth Element for example) but just singing it flat through the entire song was rather unappealing.
