Eurovision 2014

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Anyone doing a sweepstakes for this?

[Berober]

We're about two weeks away. Listened to all songs entered now. Ireland, Spain, Sweden and Ukraine all have a good chance. Romania and Estonia are probably going to do well, but those are pretty bland. Georgia, Latvia, Belarus and Switzerland are all vastly more entertaining than all of them though, so I hope they make it to the finals for the sake of variety.

You know no joy in your heart, friend.

[Katsuya]

So the UK just did their first rehearsal and they have the "golden shower" effect that Azerbaijan and Denmark used when they won. It sounds like they're in with a real shot of winning based on reactions to it too.

lol.

I'm surprised someone who actually follows Eurovision believes the UK will ever win.

I admit its the best song the Uk has had in awhile but yeah the Uk is so not going to win they might do well but not win!

Pfft, Golden Shower. Ukraine have a human hamster wheel!

[Molly]

There wasnt enough crazy in last years contest(like Moldova 2011)

[Fry_4000]

Armenia suck

[Katsuya]

Armenia was massively underwhelming. Like, seriously, that was disappointing. Latvia was much more fun than I thought it'd be. Estonia I always loved.

[Fry_4000]

thumbs up for latvia and estonia.

hungry for cake now.

[Katsuya]

Fuck yeah, Ukraine.

[Berober]

SAN FUCKING MARINO

[Katsuya]

Can't believe that San Marino finally made it.

Got 7/10 - I thought Estonia (ROBBED), Portugal (ROBBED) and Belgium (Ha!) would make it and not Iceland (Yay!), Montenegro (...meh) and San Marino (...what).

[Walker]

No Latvia? Fuck you Eurovision.

Sweden and Ukraine are the only two from that semi final that I thought could realistically win so was obvious they went through. Glad they trimmed the fat on the same old same old. Estonia was fine but very middling, I'd rather more variety in the final than gradually worse versions of the same song.

[Katsuya]

So, all the other favourites bar Hungary got drawn in the first half of the final, which is kind of killer for Armenia/Sweden/Azerbaijan/Ukraine.

Interestingly though, the Dutch entry is just outside the top 100 in the UK iTunes chart after the show. No other Eurovision song is in their other than Molly...

[Josh]

Netherlands or bust.
