Another competent but boring song. Maybe Jedward will win this, just by being one of the few exciting entries.

Electronic acts are often accused of looking like they're checking their e-mail when they play live, but this could be the first time that could be said of a Eurovision act...

No idea Austria came last in the semi... it was a shit song though...
They should have picked bearded tranny Conchita Wurst instead of those shittrackkers - at least people would have remembered the entry..
― Talcum Mucker, Sunday, 27 May 2012 07:29 (eleven years ago) link
Conchita Wurst would have been delightfully wtf. But her song did not feature the line "Your bum has an opinion".

That "up up up" bit in the Swedish song is annoying as hell. I love Eurovison but there's too much anonymous Europop written by Swedish hacks clogging up the competition these days.

Having said that the worst songs were Germany and Denmark, which were sort of snootily anti-Europop singer songwriter bollocks that sounded like they were written on the back of a fag packet

Lordi made a horror film called Dark Floors a Finnish friend described as "terrible, absolutely terrible". It's streaming on Lovefilm in the UK so i'll probably end up watching it, though.
