Originally posted by Brian Ellis Quite frankly, I could not judge the lyrics of Belgium , which goes to show that lyrics count for nothing.
The lyrics are based on a fake language . I still can't believe they reached 2nd place it's just a mediocre folk song. Altough I heard a lot of mediocre bad songs last night. And some really bad ones (UK).
Originally posted by Brian Ellis As for Turkey, I cannot understand how they won: I thought they were pretty mediocre, unless belly-buttons count for more than lyrics and musical quality in a song contest.
Second that. Personnaly I liked the song from the Netherlands, not really good but it had a catchy refrain (at least a song that wouldn't annoy you on the radio like the winning song from Turkey). Altough I liked the belly buttons , but you can't see them on the radio.
hmm, I can't even remember the title of the Latvia song that won last year?
In the UK its a bit of an institution of piss-taking. My friends and I have a little tradition of picking a couple of countries and then taking a drink for every point that comes in for our choices. I picked Turkey and Ireland (mainly randomly) so ended up getting a wankered. 2 bottles of wine in a couple of hours
When are they ever going to drop this trash. I thought it was bad enough in the seventies (the bad fashion has not changed). Why any one would want to participate is beyond me. It is not going to enhance their career out side of their own country (unless your band is called ABBA) and none of it was fit for the radio.
The English entry did not deserve any points, politics or not.
Out of all of them I have to say the only ones going to make any thing out of it has to be the Russians.
I haven't wathced it in 5 years, and I have thought that for the last 10 years that the "music" that is terrible
As Damian says: that kind of "music" only exist in that competition
It has defined its own terrible genre
If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.
Jeremy Clarkson "806 brake horsepower..and that on that limp wrist faerie liquid the Americans call petrol, if you run it on the more explosive jungle juice we have in Europe you'd be getting 850 brake horsepower..."
Terrible - yes - that's why it's good to get drunk watching it as a social event
Of course here in the UK we have Terry Wogan commentating who is v. funny - he just takes the piss out of it all the time. Apparently the BBC gives him a bottle of scotch to drink whilst he goes on...
