it's all politics


it's not about the songs anymore, it's about which countries prefere which countries, and it is every year. the same counteries vote for the same countries and it isn't fair at all. i think you could put mariah carey in for england, and she would still get no votes. i use to love watching eurovision, but it just makes me sick. they hould just stop it now. it isn't a song contest, its a populartity contest and who has allies with who.

too true it really is sad that something that is supposed to be about music....and also grown people making complete arses of them selves.... has now been taken over by politics

We're going to need considerably BIGGER buns

I totally agree! I never watch the show, but I flicked through it last night and even though Scooch's song was extra cheesy, it was 10 times better than the rest of the crap on there. It's definitely about politics and allies!

BTW, I completely forgot which country gave us 12 points but I was so suprised and happy that they weren't going with the rest of Europe and instead they were voting for the best act!

the thing about scootch is though that they can sing.
the song was sooo chesy but did you hear all the other songs?????
itw as malta who gave them 12 points.

in my opinion britain werent the best last night, but they were good and deserved alot more the what they got.

i think euro vision should stop now, its just pathetic. and i'm not being a soar loser or anything, its just ridiculous.

I thought Serbia's song was bland and the singer looked like a 15 year old chubby boy with no charisma... I liked Sweden's song. I liked Georgia's song... I thought the Ukrainian entry was ridiculous... It was trying for theatrics and absurdity (like Lordi) but unfortunately they didnt have a good song (unlike Lordi, who put out a great song...)
The voting system is crap... It needs to go. Otherwise we are looking at Balkan or Baltic block winning forever...

Best line of the night came from the scooch song "would you like something to suck on during the flight..."

Agreed. It has become a farce. The people who say they are watching it for its camp value are deludeding themselves. Its about giving votes to your neighbours, this used to be a bit of fun when I was a kid and the right song usually won. Some top tunes (Brotherhood of Man, Abba, Jonny Logan, Nicole, Milk and Honey, Bucks Fizz)came out over the years. Now some random song which you forget by the time the voting starts wins.

Why are countries eliminated in the semis still voting? This just adds to the votes for the boys syndrome.

To avoid further embarressments the UK should not bother entering anymore. Its become the Baltic/Eastern European song contest and even if Robbie Williams, Elton John, Sting , George Michael and Phil Collins formed a supergroup they would still be beaten out by a former stripper from Lituania and end up with about 14 points.



GARLIC BREAD?

that's exactly what my mum said!!!!... england should just not give them the satisfaction anymore of making our country look like loosers all the time, when were not. and i really sympathize with scooch, because eventhough they aren't the next mariah carey or beyonce, they were good. and a hell of a lot better then the majority of the others.

i was personally expecting hungary or germany to win, in my opinion them 2 deserved to win more the serbia (or however you spell it).

winning euro vision doesn't make you a good singer, it just meens your living in a popular country.

which bassically is a load of *beep* when it's a music show.
