EUROVISION 2012

Barry Manilow!

He needs some headphones to hold to his ears as he emotes.

Norway - if Skrillex was Turkish

PUSH ME
AND THEN JUST TOUCH ME
TILL I GET MY
SATISFACTION

"my heart beats faster as I'm scanning the crowd" > sniper?

"My meat is all peaking when I can tell you're around"

"skinning the crowd" > serial killer taxidermist

"I don't know what I'm doing tonight but this birdshit is making me stronger"

Enge is back! Come on Enge!

Bless, Arnold Dorsey forgot his stage name for a minute there.

"looking like a 8NP rally" lol Graham

LOL, I'm watching the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition (Violin this year, last two competitors of the finals + declaration of the winners tonight) instead - don't think I'll start a thread about it I guess :-)

Azerbaijan's song is a bit Sam Brown's 'Stop'.

I was just thinking the same.

Clearly they have good dentists in Baku.

Aye, me three. Sam Brown xpost

pogo! pogo!

"When you make me pee"

i like the moonwalking bagpipe player

liking the unplayed instrument with THREE brass bells sticking out of big brass bell. That can't be real, surely?

It's the pro musician's trick of storing multiple vuvuzelas in a Wangerian Tuba.

Denmark - rhyming 'stranger' with 'stranger', good job.

Denmark- she is both the Captain and Tenille (thanks for that one, Molly)

Greece definitely dont want to win this year.

I think that Greece's song is going to do well, even if they don't want it to actually win.

It's the closest we have to an obvious Shakira clone this year.

I actually thought she was miming for about the first two bars, then she hit that flat note and has been pitchy ever since. </randyjackson>

This reminds me of the Greek entry from the year their stage routine included a giant white neon stapler.

er, yes, this could really win...Germans en masse to vote for it.

"University of Surrey in London" ffs Norton, it's in Guildford.

ideas on how could they host? Def open air, for a start...taking right back to classical basics. xp

greece winning would be hilarious

if Greece wins Cyprus will host i think

Sweden sounds much better than the semi-finals.

I am loving Sweden cos I have always wanted Bats for Lashes to do a straight dance track.

A few times in the past, countries have won and then couldn't afford to host. Luxembourg won in 1973 (for the second year running?) and the 1974 contest was hosted in the UK.

I actually don't like this Swedish one.

We'll have a bunch of Olympics stuff lying around unused anyway.

I hope he saved some Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrkeeeeeeeeeeeey for us!

BOATMAN LAND

"My chef is big, uh-hunh"

This so is Sacha B-C

They fucked up the manboat.

NAKHCHIVAN!

Spain's singer looks constipated and I'm not surprised. "No pressure, but don't win, OK?"

Germany's song has 'Jamie Cullum joint' written all over it.

Agreed. Germany is diabolical.

I quite liked Spain. Germany is pretty awful though, like a cheap version of The Script. Jamie Cullum you say?

Fun fact: you can pretty much sing the chorus of last year's winner on top of this German one

xp he's co-writer

This performance would be better if he a) stopped grinning, and b) actually stands still while singing the line 'standing still'.
