If I was voting, I would vote Estonia:

Better than the Danish entry, although I'm sure we're gonna win this year.
I didn't see our show, but it couldn't have been very good. This is our winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL17Pdghdvo
Actually, listening to it it does have that Eurovision vibe that could net a lot of votes. Like that Norwegian dude who won some years ago.
we are sending a hipster. I haven't listened to his song
You're not gonna win anyway, the Western Powers have regained control from the Eastern Mafia.
actually, here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65q4sUq6XOk
this a guy who should probably -if must stick around music- stick to lyrics writing. Its a kind of cute-ish love song.
But it doesnt help that he will sing in hungarian, he has no voice whatsoever, and looks like a perfectly run of the mill hipster.
Not bad, but he needs a stage show befitting of Eurovision. :contract:
Just watched a rehearsal from Malmø. The guy playing the flute for the Danish song needs to time it better with the playback.
Only Euros can turn watching bad singing acts into a sport. :lol:
I'm surprised the Americans havent' done something like this. You know, the Worldvision contest.
Haven't heard this year's contribution but I'm certain it's terrible.
Apologies in advance.
I will miss this year's event - the hosts of our usual get-together are off on a vacation trip, other friends are at a festival, others are moving to a new apartment etc.
I think I will survive. :)

Meh, we have tryouts for American Idol for that.

It's a battle of nations. I don't think a state vs state competition could get to the same level of crazy. I mean, there were conspiracy theories about an Eastern Mafia some years ago with people crying that a western nation could never win again.
That is until next year when it turned out that it was in fact the western countries that voted only for western countries (and that one country who equals the largest immigrant group, in our case we gave some points to Turkey). :P
What is particularly funny about it is you have some countries like Britain who treat it all like a big joke but then you have some who take it VERY VERY SERIOUSLY.
It's deflection, if the Brits had an actual chance to win they'd be on the boat with the rest of us. :P
Britain's entering Bonnie Tyler, in a desperate attempt to corner the gay vote:

Edit: Dreadful song though. She's said she won't win and doesn't care regardless - which seems a fair assessment :lol:
She said that? What I'd read from her was the typical "Yeah, we have a good chance, last year we made such and such a mistake, etc...." guff.
This is next Saturday?
I didn't know Bonnie Tyler is British.

In the grand tradition of very loud Welsh people :)
So anyone watching this abortion of semi-finals?
Ireland went all gay (a male singer + half-naked male dancers).
It's pretty dreadful, even for what it is.

I know. I usually only watch the finals - this is horrible, though. So far not a single song that does not deserve exterminaton.
I would be watching, but I'm at work. I think I'm better off though.
I'm calling it: we're going to win.
I support the return to songs in native languages.
Azerbaijan's stage show was quite well thought of.
I approve the ending to Finland's song.

That card has already been played.
Romania. :lmfao:
The Romanian Dracula Trans-Dance Operetta must go to the final!
The diamond-studded leather cape was a nice touch. :D
The diamond-studded Dracula is through to the final. Justice!
I'm torn between lesbian Finnish bride and gay Dracula.
Yeah, if Denmark doesn't win I want Dracula to get it.

Only Dracula can really threaten this victory.
What was so special about Denmark? :huh:
The dutch gal should win, IMNSHO
The Dutch gal sucked. I'm calling Finland.
Btw, the Azer dude was so fucking hot.

Most likely nothing. But I think that maybe one or two foreign newpapers mentioned we might win, and that is a sure sign for all Danes that we'll win. Any mention in foreign papers makes us feel special.
Danish chick was thoroughly meh.
Eros Ramazzotti jam.
Norway's not bad.
Norge Bjork - I kinda like.
I like gay Irish Aztecs.
I loved the Swedish medley. :D
Norway was nice but too bad about the butterface. I hope Romania wins this.
I liked the Swedish self-irony. Being able to showcase acts like this is always the sign of a healthy and adult nation! :cheers:
:lol: year after year Finland gives us lots of points, while we fail to give a single one.
It is funny that it is us who like to dismiss the Finnish "family" relationship as degrading.

Yeah it's refreshing if you consider what kind of serious shit our nations would come up with.
Could someone explain to me what's so good about Danish song? It sucked so much.
See you guys in Parken next year.

She had a semi-catchy tune and....beats me.
:yeah:
Oh dear, on my way home from work I heard at least a couple of groups singing Only Teardrops. And now someone is singing/shouting it on the street below.
I think I might have been out with the yeah smiley too soon. :P
Here's the Swedish medley song, which probably would have won if you could vote for it :D

Swedish moose are not loose.
Haven't seen her in this (duh) but speaking generally Petra Mede is great.
Who was the weird fake Japanese person with the points for Sweden?
Lettow.
Lettow is really Japanese. You can tell by the way his mouth and eyes can either disappear or cover half his face.
I read reports of suspicious behaviour from Denmark.
The largest arena in Copenhagen was already booked 'just in case' for next year and on the same night as the contest bilboards appeared around Malmo advertising the next contest.... hmm....
Quote from: The Brain on May 19, 2013, 09:18:16 AM
Lettow.
No, he was a different kind of weird.
It's probably not going to be in Copenhagen, but somewhere in Jutland.
It should be held in Middelfart.
