Eurovision

Post by Lord Sander »

Did anyone watch? At all?
Turkey won, followed by Belgium, and then Russia.
The United Kingdom was the only one to get 0 points, hehe. Poor batstards.

Edit: Corrected the order. Russia came 3rd, not 2nd, apparently.

From the country that gave us the Spice Girls and Robbie Williams what did you expect?

Congrats to Turkey.

And whoever the UK entry was, I heard their manager on the radio this morning, trying to claim that it was because of the current political climate, and that its because everyone in Europe hates Britain... Heaven forbid that it might have been because the song wasnt very good.

What's Eurovision?

A private european nations (not the E.U) amateur singers competition. Each participant country selects a representative to the final.

The Portuguese candidate (a woman singing a solo) sounded like a man.

The English candidates were worse.

Slight nitpick: It's Asteroidenfeld, not Asteroidenfald :D

And the Erovision song contest is just funny. From a very strange and morbid point of view :)

If I wasn't so damn lazy and had so much biology revision, I'd try and translate that in my head and make a witty retort which I cannot think of.
