EUROVISION!

[Katsuya]

Ah yes, the ultimate singing contest starts tonight in good ol' Moscow. The televoting system is out, replaced with...a televoting system AND a jury vote, in some weird Strictly Come Dancing kind of thing. I think that's how the Dance Contest works, too, so...yeah. The UK, shockingly, are being given a slither of hope as a result, and add to that the fact we have kickass Jade Ewen and Andrew Lloyd Webber on stage, we might just have a chance at a top 10 finish. Which would be nice. LOL at whoever gave us 4th favourite position though.

So, yeah, it starts tonight with the first Semi Final. Some Maltese fat chick is on tonight, and she's meant to be very good. But on Thursday, there's the favourite, the Norwegian entry:

Me <3 Alexander Rybak.

The Czech entry was like Sacha Baron Cohen playing Freddie Mercury playing Flash Gordon. Madness. >_>

Meanwhile Belgium seem to have seen an Elvis impersonator in some pub and decided to use him. Niiice.

Shit. I forgot they were going to replace Wogan with Graham Norton.

This year's show is gonna suck.

[Dan]

NO TERRY WOGAN?

Fuck that.

[stokeriño]

Whoever the guy is that they've got doing the semifinals...he's trying to be Wogan-lite with his mockery. But still, it's better than Norton will be.

[stokeriño]

Wow Andorra, you suck. Buh-bye.

[Katsuya]

This Swiss entry is quite good.

And I liked Belarus (the one with the chick kind of floating in the air), but that guy's hair was RIDICULOUS.

[stokeriño]

but that guy's hair was RIDICULOUS.

The blonde singer or the guitarist who clearly idolises Justin Hawkins?

And the Swiss was blaaaaaah. Like, the definition of blaaaaaah.

Blonde singer.

Oh, Turkey sent belly dancers. Original.

[stokeriño]

"THIS IS THE GREATEST SONG - OF - ALL - TIME!"

...So go the Turkish lyrics. lol.

Why have they got 4 or 5 red-clad dancer girls...and one guy in jeans hanging around at the back??

Not only is she a poor Shakira impersonator, she's not even singing. The one doing the most is the guy in jeans.

[stokeriño]

Israel send out an Arab and a Jew to sing "There Must Be Another Way".

...Subtle.

[Katsuya]

It's actually not that bad a song. Compared with some of the shit that's been out tonight. I'm looking at you, Czech Republic.

ETA: Speaking of shit, look at his hair and her eyebrows.

Those presenters are a lot more drunk than they were 40 minutes ago.

[Katsuya]

"I wonder if they're the only two gay fans of Eurovision"...oh dear. Please let that be oozing with sarcasm that this guy's voice doesn't put across.

Oh. Oh dear. Tragic hair.

ULTRA FACE CLOSE-UP~!

...Ah, now they've zoomed back out. Thank God.

[Katsuya]

She's quite good. The previous lot, who's country I don't even remember, were not.

[stokeriño]

It's 18 Year Old Blonde Girl In Large Dress #1.

There's got be a few more of them in this competition somewhere.

[Katsuya]

Neither of thsoe brothers are hot. The guitairst with the scarf who's hanging out in the back is.

Wasn't this guy the devil in the Azerbaijani entry last year?

[stokeriño]

These guys are a) in tune, b) not silly (except for the hair), c) not women flaunting around in very little.

In other words, they're doomed.
