What did you think of this years Eurovision song contest?

Personally i think it was awful this year and Andy Abraham's song wasn't the best but it didn't deserve to come last!


Why do all the other countries hate us, and what is this thing about politics?


Also why can't we get someone like Take That to perform for our country?

What did you think of this years Eurovision song contest?
I'm thinking exactly the same.


Put someone half decent in for us and we'll be in with a shout.


If they were going to put X-Factor finalists into the Eurovision song contest atleast put Rhydian Roberts.





I guess it's just biased. They should have people outside of Europe voting!
Reply:Bring back Sir Cliff or Sandie Shaw.


We need a good established performer to represent us.


I,d love to see Robert Plant on the Eurovision stage.


However, the Balkan and Baltic states will still in future vote for each other so why not split the competition into Eastern and Western sections then those of the former Eastern Bloc can play their games as much as they like with each other
Reply:The main theme seems to be -


let's not do it again.


Leave it to Turkey, Israel, Russia etc (in


fact, all those countries we never thought for a second were in Europe)
Reply:Michelle Gayle should have represented us anyway.


Her song was far superior to Andy Abraham's song.


Even Terry Wogan and the panel agreed with this when they had a show called UK selects.


I don't know what the UK were thinking voting for him in front of Michelle.


Anyway, what a travesty, Russia was a horrendous song and in my opinion was the 2nd worst song of the night.


The only song it was better than was Romanias.


What was the ice skating bloke all about and how did the lead singers top just open on its own.


This was just too lame for words.


It shows you everyone hates the UK, however they want to live here for the free ride. Wake up UK and smell the coffee. You are the laughing stock of Europe. No wonder everyone whats to come here. Everyone who comes here takes and gives nothing back.


I was surprised Poland didn't give us more points.


Perhaps because all the Polish are now in England and can't Vote...
Reply:It was a complete farce, i think uk should back out and keep some dignity.
Reply:This argument has been ongoing for the past 5 years. Unfortunately Eurovision is no longer about the music but rather about back patting each other's neighbours. Andy Abrahams song, even though I personally did not like it, did not deserve to be last. The guy gave a wonderful performance, and his voice was spot on. The song is not the sort of crap that normally appeals to the Eurovision crowd, that's why it did not stand a chance. It has nothing to do with the Eurovision fans being predominantly gay as someone has stated here. The fact is that there are loads of Eastern countries voting for each other, and as Terry Wogan has quite clearly said, the West do not stand a chance of ever winning if this carries on. The best thing to do is for Britain to opt out of the Contest until this is sorted out. If the mayor countries boycott the contest, there is no way that the West will be able to fund it. That will sort them out. Every year is the same. The voting is so predictable, that it verges on the ridiculous. You can't really send someone like Take That, because they won't win. Its that simple. Spain and Ireland had it right this year. Send a crappy joke act / song. At least they can justify losing with a crappy act, rather than waste a perfectly good song / act on this farce of a contest. Perhaps next year All the Western countries could join together to make their own Contest, and let the Eastern countries to continue with the farce that is Eurovision.
Reply:well, a few days ago i read that the eurovision audience is a predominantly gay crowd. and having seen the winning entry, i believe so.
Reply:The real meaning of the event being SONG contest has long been gone completely, there are only nothing but second-class artists taking part to it with very forgettable songs. It's nothing but stage circus these days, and I miss the good old days very much when there were at least SOME decent music taking part!
Reply:Oh please, UK song was so simple... nothing special! It is so obviously that Western Countries don't effort at all! I think that ranking was absolutely rightful!


Russia was really the best - starting with performance, than song... it was obviously how much they made a effort


Ukraine, Serbia and Armenia had so powerful performance.


Norway song was so good.


UK has really good music and singers but you should be shamed on what you send to Eurosong!
Reply:Russia is a good song actually. That guy has an "Eros Ramazotti" look and probably for that reason, he might get some popularity all over Europe. But Eurovision always has been contra-dictionary. When people like to talk and discuss about it, well it means they have an opinion. Otherwise it would be totally ignored.


But I wont buy the winning song, will not buy the compilation cd.


And I did watch it on TV accidentaly..
Reply:read my question i postes about this to see how i feel about this ****...lol...





its ironic isnt it.... they all HATE us, however, they all know where to come for free healthcare, and a better life...etc etc...





i mean, they pretty much all f**king live here... the polish, muslims, pakis, chinese, nepolese, etc etc... but they hate us...





i hade an agruement with a foreigner in tesco today... she walked right infront of my trolley and stopped, so i pushed it into her, and she started having a go.... but like i told her, if it was the other way round, and she hit me and i started having a go.... she would claim she couldnt understand me...





I HATE THEM ALL!!!!
Reply:Rydian could perform for us as wales is in the UK!!


leona or take that should perform for us,.


the rules should be that the singer has to be from that country and sing in their own language.


that russian song was written and produced by timbaland, like when celine dion sang for sweden or something that way its the singer that has won and not the country cos the singers not from the country showing that it has no talent whatsover.


and the russian guy came 2nd bout 2 yrs ago so he's already been in the eurovision.


its just a joke now.


and itz all rigged as sir cliff should have won all those years ago but spain was bribing 9something like that) everyone so they won.


terry wogan says he's quitting eurovision now because itz become too political and all western european countries have no chance to win it.
Reply:its al about politics. lets face britains never going to win and they put the most money into it too. scrap eurovision maybe worldvision would be better cos i bet some americans would vote for uK
Reply:same as usual,crap.
Reply:I've watched it every year since I was tiny (back in the 50's) This is the first year I was so bored I turned it over. I'll not watch it again.





Whoever we got to sing for this country, they'd still come last because everybody hates the english.
