EUROVISION 2012

Iceland = time for a piss break

Umpty-tum nonsense. But would have been top 3 10 years ago.

OOH KEY CHANGE

if you liked that key change, you're gonna love moldova

I wait with bated breath.

This Cyprus thing sounds like a David Guetta b-side.

I must disagree with Aldo. Rabid grannies for the win!

But info quite like Cyprus ( actually I seriously do warn Enge to win, I just don't think it will happen)

France = shit.

It's a bit 'mid 90's French Eurovision entry'. They've never really moved beyond that.

Oh I dunno. It's OK. I'm quite perversely thinking of It Bites.

it's kinda like the climax of a jodorowsky film

France = ok indeed.

xp lol It Bites!

LAND OF CARPETS

Italian woman has annoyed me enormously in the build up, but the song has a chance.

Cut price Winelodge.

"you're an independant Roman after all"

Yeah, I think your right
Xpost

"Come on audience, sing along to these lyrics that are very likely to be in a language that you don't speak!"

"I bought a gunshot"?

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
