It absolutelly sucks!...Every country has its own countries to be voted or not tobe voted...It has totally converted from a song contest into a manifestation of political area. It is high time this bullshit must be cancelled forever...

It's a pan-European joke. Quality music has never ever existed in ESC!!!
Reply:The eurovision song contest is the kiss of death for any artist so only the crap ones are in it. It is purely political. Those countries that are into eurovision vote for their neighbours. Those that aren't into it don't bother. Who actually wins has little resemblence to whose the best. It's which country is most popular in the Eurovision circle. Even eurovision knows it. That's why they had two semi-finals where countries could not vote for their allies. Just laugh at the acts and don't take it seriously.
Reply:wat u sed is tru. but its just entertaining watching people from other countries tryna sing in english. lol. i watched 2008 and russia chose their biggest pop star and the single was produced by R %26amp; B star timbaland which is not fair. so no wojnder why russia won!
Reply:I know. Each country just votes for its neighbour over the border. Very predictable

Why don't they change the Eurovision Song Contest voting rules?
Everybody's fed up of political votes, even the english speaker was taking a piss out of it (as usual). This is putting the reputation of the show really down. There was only one eastern european song that was good, the one from Bulgaria, and by no means Portugal would vote 12 for Ukraine, which means that the millions of Ukranians that live there just mass voted for their own country. The portuguese would never vote so much for something so gay (we are very conservative people). The show is loosing it's meaning. They should have a panel of judges from each country to vote, not the entire population of the country because it will turn out as political votes. It's not fair for the UK to be classified within the last positions when their song was far better that most of the eastern block countries', ok, having trolley dollies is not a great way to get votes, but the song was not that bad this year, compared to last year.
Why don't they change the Eurovision Song Contest voting rules?
I am Greek, so you realize I am not politically predisposed towards any country (I will not speak of Turkey and Cyprus in order to avoid being considered as biased).
I agree with you that the Bulgarian song was very good. I voted for it.
However, totally impartially, based on my taste only, (and keep in mind I love England because i studied there), I thought the English song was silly. I am surprised it didn't finish last with 0 points! Although I liked the Irish song that finished last.
Although the neighbouring countries "allies" influence the result a lot, I must point out that usually this only helps to a limited extent, because in order to win, a song must be voted by all the countries or almost. So yes, perhaps some countries get a few more points than they deserve, but the winning song gets votes from everyone, so it is not the political alliances that make it win.
When -many years ago, you may have been too young to remember- the vote was made by a small jury in every country, the vote was even more political. And even worse, because it was really political, and not just based on mutual sympathies between people. And sometimes the vote did not even express the people's taste, but the taste of some wannabe "experts". Last year, I voted for the winning song. Many people did, and it got a high grade from Greece. We have nothing in favour or against Finland, we don't have immigrants from Finland to influence the result,we just liked the song. I am not saying we are right or wrong, but we did. I can guarantee that no committee in Greece would have voted for that song (because of their appearance and because of what everyone said the following day). So it wouldn't be fairly representing the opinion of greeks, would it?
Anyway, I agree that all the Former USSR and Yugoslav republics, as well as the Scandinavian countries, create some teams, but it's part of the game! It has always been. (Germany always voted for Greece nd Turkey because of the immigrants, etc). It's part of the "tradition" too. So I think the system should remain the same. Although I heard there will be some change with the number of countries that go through the semi-final. I really don't understand why England, France, Spain, and some other doesn't have to pass the semifinal, no matter how bad they went the previous year. I think it is the reason they send silly songs (however I always vote for France too!).

Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest, How ?
Considering Israel is located in the Middle East, how did they end up in the Eurovision Song Contest held annually? As far as I know the competition is mainly taken part by Countries in Europe.
Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest, How ?
Israel is located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, bounded by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest.
So Israel is pretty much between asia, africa AND europe, though thats debatable, it isn't that off.
Someone here mentioned turkey - the main part of turkey is in europe, only the north is in asia.
EDIT: wikipedia also says that even though Israel is theoretically part of asia, because of it's much stronger boundings with europe, it usually takes part in european events. Keep in mind that Israel was "made" after WW2 and most of it's citiziens are europeans.

firstly, it will help teams assess their strengths and weaknesses against continental teams...
second, opportunity to scout players... probably the next footballing genuises are playing in this comp...
third, although not huge, there's some monetary rewards playing in these comps...
Reply:i think uefa cup is a good competition, there are a lot of good teams in Europe who do not make the champs league, why shouldn't they get the chance to play each other if anything it is more exciting than the champs league, all the same teams playing each other it is becoming very predictable, i mean how many times do we have to endure Liverpool v CFC and the final is a repeat of 2 years ago. it is becoming as predictable as our own premiership.
Reply:eurovision can **** off for all i care and terry wogan for that matter as well. the uefa cup gives smaller teams the chance to compete in a european competition, i can only assume that you support a big club who qualifies for the champions league on a yearly basis. did you not watch the final last night? it was a fantastic match, the best i've seen a while. the carling cup may not mean much to you but to league 1+2 clubs the money they can make by playing the big boys can make a huge difference to their bank balance. and the winners get a place in europe!
Reply:I agree, boring boring.. but there are some people that love it unfortunately..... I really dont get the Eurovision song contest at ALL!! but it exists to make sponser companies richer.
Reply:Yeah don't knock the Eurovision Song Contest - that's the title Fergie really wants to win
Reply:Definitely, NOT for the Eurovision contest. It's terrible, it's a crime against humanity, XDD
Anyone else agree/disagree?
Is there any need for the UEFA Cup, Carling Cup or Eurovision Song Contest?
Don't knock Eurovision. It's the only chance we have of getting any points next season!!
Reply:the uefa cup was left for the lower down teams to experience the thrills of European football. The likes of man u and Chelsea will always be in the champions league.

Do you think we should retire from the Eurovision Song Contest, since it seems to be a plain circus ?
What do you think ?
According to me, we should follow Italia's example, who wisely decided to leave this so-called contest.
Italians know about Arts and Music, so why did they leave? I suppose they understood the sad truth about this "Music" contest...
Bence Eurovision'u terk etsek çok iyi olur...
Do you think we should retire from the Eurovision Song Contest, since it seems to be a plain circus ?
yes...I think eurovision song contest has turned into a political song contest.It is far off from its planned intentions -a million years ago when the earth crust was still hot ...
Its been years since I have not watched it and I think its just waist of money...they should use the money for something more usefull...
Reply:As far as I know Italians left the contest because it conflicted with their San Remo one. (Italians are artistic but this contest is about money) I agree it is a circus but the thing is you, me, and the rest of us whose countries are participating should not take it so seriously. For some it is fame for others money and for viewers fun. So, let's have fun!
Reply:It's high camp fun, we can still put in the odd joke competitor, but don't hype it as if we stand a chance. Spain didn't vote for us after Falklands, half of Europe didn't vote for us after Iraq. It's a political popularity contest, plain and simple.
Reply:Think positive. There are 2 entries from turkey this year. :-D I'm sure you'll be enjoy Dustin the Turkey just as much as Mor ve Otesi.
Reply:No, Eurovision is fun ;-)
Reply:Yes, we must leave as soon as possible...
Reply:Why have such contests to begin with? They exist as crimes against humanity.

How on Earth did those talentless twerps Scooch get to represent the UK in the Eurovision song contest?
Year after year it's the same old story, pick a group of talentless, self absorbed twerps. Give them a really awful load of rubbish to perform and expect them to win.
OK, we shouldn't take this contest to seriously, and the voting is a joke but do we have to make our nation a laughing stock too?

At least it want Jordan
Reply:Because the programme hostess ignored Terry Wogan's announcement, and made a bad choice of her own.
But, don't take it too seriously, it is not going to affect global warming or the real world.
In any case, why should there be a need for voting and winners? After all, it is a failry reasonable 3 hours of musical entertainment, and does not need to pretend to be anything more.
Reply:i absolutely agree, of all the good groups and singers we have in the u.k, they have to pick the most cheesiest group there could possibly think of, and they absolutely succeeded in making us the laughing stock
Reply:well to be fair it wouldn't really matter if we managed to pick an absolutely fantastic talented act because everyone hates us politically anyway.
Don't take it seriously, it's supposed to be a fun kitsch fest. Ukraine should have won!
Reply:We never win at anything - football, tennis (Henman is a joke) and even the Eurovision. We have no competitive streak in us - we are happy to be the hapless losers. It's so embarrassing.
Reply:Just another implosion in the pan.
Another one-flop-wonder.
Kinda reminds me of the that 'band' that 'sung' that song about fast food joints or somthing like that.
Reply:I don't know why but I liked UK's song. What was good in Lordis's song last year? -only those ugly masquerade costumes. UK's performance was aimed at merry young people and I liked it.
Reply:Because we don't take Eurovision seriously, unlike other European countries. Ours was truly shocking, we didn't even go for the obvious rock theme that everyone else was doing.
Reply:It was rather like an alternative comedy show...
or The Young Ones, taking the pi$$ out of some cr@p group...
I'm sure all the 'straight' stewards on flights, simply adored the camp-it-up dark haired woofter...NOT!!!!
Reply:Twas an embarrasment..... But music doesn;t matter any more in the eurovision, it's whatever country is your neighbour or best friend.
Reply:I want a percentage of my licence money back. I do not want to spend it on programmes where these people are voted for by the viewing public, or on the tasteless show which the eurovision contest has become.
Reply:yeah but at least it provides entertainment lol it is kinda funny
Reply:Perhaps they fitted the Camp test- as in they were highly camp , outdated and a clone of the Euro-slums that take that Euro-bollocks seriously, and thus qualified

It was only taking the mick anyway and if he did get through he would not have gotten newhere, cause all the other countries just vote for each other.
Reply:Not surprising they never made it through. It was utter rubbish! I've read the lyrics, Ireland did themselves no favours, really - the first line is 'Oh I come from a nation what knows how to write a song' - doesn't seem like it going by this!
Fair enough, it may have been a 'comedy' entry, but it wasn't good.
Reply:Ireland has a great tradition in music and I don't think that the "turkey" is a representation of this beautiful country that I have visited and loved, so I am very happy it didn't go to the finals.

I think all Eurovision it meant to be tongue-in-cheek but I think Ireland went a bit too far!

Is the eurovision song contest becoming a joke?
I mean come on... UK Spain France Sweden and Germany all coming around last and the likes of serbia coming first?? Who thinks the votes reflect political issues and western europe is disliked?
Is the eurovision song contest becoming a joke?
Like everything else, it depends. When you lose, it's a joke, when you win, it's THE most important thing in shows%26amp;entertainment... The UK surely made a fuss about it when they were winnig it... But change is the name of the game, right?
Reply:Serbias song totally SUCKED!!! I hate that song! I think that Sweden Finland, Belarus and... I can't remember which country, but the girl that had a bus stop sign in the background were the best.
I read somewhere that Scissor Sisters had said that they had heard that people are sending the worst song they can find because they don't want to be next years host!
Reply:Slavic countries always vote for each other. For them, it is awfully important to win and thus to raise their self-esteem.
Reply:why, just because the west was left out??

How will Britain's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest do on Saturday?
Also, how did the song automatically qualify along with four others? Have I missed something? I only found out by accident on Tuesday there were to be semi finals for the contest.
How will Britain's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest do on Saturday?
Our entry will not fare well because it's too normal. It's not gimmicky enough. Besides, like others have said, it doesn't matter how much Europe like the song, they will vote for their neighbours. The Balkans will vote for the Balkans, the Scandinavians for the Scandinavians and so on.
Wogan likes to think there's an imaginary wall running from the Arctic to the Adriatic, and nobody west of the frontier has won Eurovision for eight years.
We never take Eurovision as seriously as the Eastern European countries do (in fact, we don't take it seriously at all!).
Eurovision's just not about the music anymore. Austria even described it as "a political parade ground".
There's quite an interesting article about it in this week's Radio Times, where Wogan gives his view on the whole issue.
Reply:Same here. Unless they get someone equally as witty to do it. I can imagine Paul Merton or possibly Ian Hislop doing it. Report Abuse
Reply:Our song automatically qualifies along with a few other nations because we pay for it all. Lately it's not been much fun, because the since the Eastern European nations joined in, they only vote for each other so it's just become political. Also the votes now are quickly delivered so there's no tension. It's still a laugh tho, we take it all with a pinch of salt, but some of the other nations are so serious about it.
Reply:I don't particularly like it, but even if Europe loved it, they would never vote for us, because we are the UK. Eastern Europe all vote for each other and so do countries like Greece and Cyprus, and Portugal and Spain. Yet it seems Ireland and the UK would do the same, but we don't - we play fair, and vote for the best song in the contest. I'll be surprised if we ever win again tbh.
Reply:The UK automatically qualifies because it the largest contributor to the European broadcasting commission, as some one has already said we pay for others to cheat, sums up Europe as whole really doesn't it. Andy Abraham's Will fail miserabley but he can take comfort in the fact his head looks like a giant malteaser, so its not all bad.
Reply:It could be the best song in the world but no-one will vote for it because it's the UK entry
~x~
Reply:The songs not as bad as some we've had, but all the same you'll notice all the countires next door to each other, (especially greece etc) always vote for each other, so we got no chance! Lol
Reply:I think our entry is terrible! Anyway, the voting always seems to be rigged so we won't win .
Reply:It will come about 30th - if we're lucky !

How come Israel is in the Eurovision song contest?
my geography is a bit rusty, but I don't think Israel is in Europe is it? If it was it would be in the EU wouldn't it? And have Euros?
How come Israel is in the Eurovision song contest?
Being in Europe has nothing to do with the EU or Euros.
The Eurovision Song Contest is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) which now consists of most of the countries on the European continent (before the end of the Cold War it only operated in western Europe - the communist countries had a similar organisation called Intervision), plus most of the countries around the Mediterranean sea, including Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, and most of the countries in North Africa. Any EBU member country can broadcast and enter into the Eurovision Song Contest provided they agree to show all the songs and voting - Lebanon once entered, but couldn't participate because they wouldn't show Israel's song.
You could have asked the same question about how come Israel and Israeli teams play in the UEFA football competitions, to which the answer is that they used to play in the Asian confederation but moved because the Arab countries wouldn't play them; for a time they ended up playing against CONCACAF (North and Central American) sides before they eventually became part of Europe for football purposes.
Reply:Come to think of it, I think you may be right there. I know that Israel has been in the Eurovision song contest for many years but whether it is actually in Europe I don't know. Some say Turkey is just in Europe but Israel is beyond Turkey.

Should the "singers" on the eurovision song contest be made to sing in English?
Or is this taking something away from their national identities?
Should the "singers" on the eurovision song contest be made to sing in English?
After ABBA won with Waterloo in 1974, the rules were changed so that each country had to sing in their native tongue.
This rule lasted some time until it was relaxed. (Do not know the year)
So your suggestion is a bit on par with what actually happened after ABBA, at the other extreme scale.
Reply:if they sang in english the songs would be rubbish songs sung in english
as opposed to rubbish songs sung in a range of languages
in the olden days they sang in english if they hoped to sell the tripe after the competition but these days no one would waste their money
the question should be .....why is there a eurovision song contest?
it is now just political voting for 'friendly' nations ....with rubbish songs
Reply:No, it's a Eurovision song contest, they are allowed to sing in any language they want. By the way, the most spoken language in Europe is actually German - you wouldn't want them to sing it German, would you?
Terry Wogan is a nasty obnoxious mean old man - I'd happily torture him into death if I could. On Making Up Your Mind he said "there's no 43 countries in Europe". There's actually around 50 of them, for his information and Turkey and Israel (Asia) usually take part too.
It's wasting time, but I still repeat - Eurovision is NOT political. It's only in UK people think that way. I'm from Slovakia, a country which NEVER enters Eurovision, so I think I am unbiased enough to be trusted on this. I think the fact that each country gives points to 10 other countries- and not just 1 - prevents it being political. And if Ukraine gives points to Russia, it's not because of politics (I wouldn't say they love each other!), but because Russian music is close to people of Ukraine. I'd love to watch Eurovision, but I can't because of that stupid Wogan and his comments. I was really shocked when I watched it first time in UK, I've never seen so much hatred on TV from a presenter. I watched Eurovision on Austrian TV in 2002 and it wasn't anything like that, even though Austria ended up somewhere down at the bottom, the presenter never uttered a word of abuse. (And yes, I could understand German at that time well enough to know that.)

Why is Israel allowed to enter the Eurovision song contest?
It's a historical thing going back to the early days of The European Broadcasting Union. Israel were members and they've stayed in the competition since then. Come to think of it Russia isn't in Europe either!
Reply:They had a few minutes left over and they did not know what to do.
Being in Europe has NEVER been a necessary criteria to enter the competition.
It was named Eurovision because the first countries to participate in it were all in Europe.

Reply:libanon is clearly not european too, though they can also join in the song contest. Israel has some bounds with europe, i guess that's why.
I don't think it's because they would threaten us with bombs etc.
Reply:Turkey and Lebanon are not in Europe so why single out Israel?
It doesn't really matter anyway as the competition is a total farce anyway.
Reply:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_in_t...
I hope this helps.
Reply:Well it's like England -UK
Russia-USSR!-much of this is outside Europe
Don't know why Israel or Turkey are in as they are not part of Europe
Reply:Your right that Isreal isn't in europe but they are a member of the European Broadcasters Association which is why they are allowed to enter.
Reply:Who cares? The last song was good and it certainly bet a lot of the other songs that made the finals
Reply:This stupid, political farce should have been scrapped years ago. Either bring back Katie Boyle and proper judging for those that enjoy it or lets get the hell out of it ourselves.
Reply:what about all the others who are not in Europe.
Reply:fine, you're in the Middle East then from now on.
Reply:lol, its all toadying politics. Only gaymen love the comp..

Why does Israel participate in the Eurovision song contest?
Israel is not a country in the continent of Europe.
Why does Israel participate in the Eurovision song contest?
The requirement for participation is that a television station in the country must have joined the EBU. So, it's down to them whether a country joins, rather than strict geography.

Any idea what time they start to do the scores for the Eurovision Song Contest?
Watching the singing bores me to tears, I only like to watch the scores. Any rough ideas what time they do it? I'm not interested if you don't watch it or if it is a load of rubbish, so none of the usual boring answers please.
Any idea what time they start to do the scores for the Eurovision Song Contest?
I would guess that the voting takes the last hour of the show, so because the show is on from 8pm-11:15pm I guess the voting will start around 10:15pm. But it wouldn't hurt to start watching before this just encase I am wrong.
Reply:Strange question for the "trying to concieve" board??? are you wanting to know so you can ttc whilst the singing is on and stop when the results are being given???? Hmmm
Reply:Strange question to out in this category? If watching the eurovision helps with ttc it's worth a try!
Reply:proberly about an hour before the end about 10
Reply:It's usually around 10 o'clock or a bit after. They try to get the contest proper over within 2hrs. Sad ain't I? But I did predict Lordi last year.
Reply:check the tv guide!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anybody out there who actually enjoyed the Eurovision Song contest?
I did, i thought the location was amazing, and who cares any way it is just a bit of fun! It was a classic eurovision song contest and if you don't like it then don't watch it.
Is there anybody out there who actually enjoyed the Eurovision Song contest?
Yes, it was just the best this year, i had a bet on that russia would win, 11/4 odds , i think my winnings will be 150 euro, alsow spain had a very wacky act this year, you can watch any of the entries on u tube.
Reply:Yes, it was fun and entertaining but I just don't see the point in the UK continuing to enter .... Terry Wogan stated at the start that he couldn't see where the UK votes would come from and they didn't come exactly as predicted. Perhaps we should change it ti an International Song Contest and get the likes of America, Australia, New Zealand, and the far eastern countries come on board ...... that you upset the political voting inherent at the moment. It would still probably be political but perhaps the UK would stand a fighting chance.
Reply:I enjoyed it until the results all came in. As usual it is all bullocks and gives further reason for us to leave Europe as they clearly don't like us and their sense of fair play i.e actually choosing the BEST song, not their best friend/neighbour is all seriously lacking. Tossers
Reply:I really enjoy watching it because I can hear some really nice songs in it. Of course almost every time the ones I like , are not even in top 5 and sometimes are last (like UK this year or France). But I don't care. I like what I like and no one can tell me which song is the best.
Reply:My partner says that he loves it because it's so bad, he especially loved the pirate one with all the ho ho hoing.
Reply:Never watched it, it was me mate's sister's 18th instead so we all got stupidly pissed. :-)
Reply:NO! I wanted to watch casualty and they took that off the screens!
Reply:A few people do
Reply:No. It's not about the music anymore.
Reply:are you Russian by any chance?

Why does England has a separate football team, but goes in the Eurovision song contest as the UK!?
It is clear to everyone that in this way they can not represent the Scotish, the Welsh or the Northern Ireland.
By going as separate entities, they can also avoid the Eurovision problems of Block voting.
If San Marino is going there separately so can The Isle of White, Guernsey or what have you.
I think its time to start wining in the Eurovision!

Get a lobotomy and a taste bypass. Become East European. Be a tranny.
Reply:There's probably no point of him even bothering to write a song for Eurovision hun.
We could enter the most amazing song Europe has ever heard ( Even more amazing than Robbie Williams - Angels ) and we'd still come last.
We have to face the facts, Europe doesn't like us. To them we're just a smaller version of America !
