And I'm sorry for our contender (Poland)

. The group is extremly popular here but it's also the bigest crap I've heard...

no Samplaire, that vote clearly goes the contribution of our group... argh
my wife liked the Belgiums most while I prefered the young Norwegian on the piano.
Obviously un-autotuned and not grabbed together like most of the other stuff, well-done song with a fresh voice.

cheers, Tom

I actually thought Turkey was a worthy winner.
Or Netherlands.
But what about Austria.....?
A song and a performance like that should really ban austria from all future contests.

Just listened to the turkish and Belgian tunes(and the austrian...)
Belgium's tune sounds like redone Era or Adiemus. Worse, the turkish tune sounds like Shakira. I prefer the belgian tune.

Geez I hate these competitions.

My wife prefered Turkey.
I think Norway was very good.
Austria made great fun and played a very interesting riff. Why not?
France had some charming harmonies, but nobody liked their song.
Forget the german Knusperhexe...

I like the contest for guessing the steals in the songs

Austria, the riff: Queen - We will rock you
the group with the '80s back' song:
Football's coming home (dunno who did that)
Germany, the bridge: Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
my favourite was Romania, really took a while but imho most was from finnish Bomfunk MCs - Freestyler
of course those weren't exact copies, but enough to take the catchy parts from the proven hits to fill the own gaps

cheers, Tom

Our favourites have been Belgium and Poland. I agree, sorry Belgium. And that polish guy hopefully soon comes to Berlin, they must, for the 12 points they got from here.

Interesting to know they normally do better, Sir.

to be honest, us belgians should be happy... imagine the costs for organizing this competition. unlucky turkey, i guess they could use the cash for other things, like building earthquake proof schools.

but enough of that... i was really sorry i couldn't watch this year. it's a classic in our circle of friends. the music is absolute crap, of course, but that's the fun.
i only heard excerpts from the belgian and turkish song on the news, and the uk act.

i couldn't believe my ears. i can imagine my friends laughing their asses off like hell. from what i have heard, the belgian and turkish songs are quite good for such a competition. i liked the turkish song better than ours.

and what about austria??? i've heard they had a song which started as a yodle

thingie and ended in death metal

it's this kind of things that make such evenings a fun tv night, like last years greek robocops, germanies old rocker crawling across the stage on his 'fours'.
hehe

i liked the latin dance thing which won last year A LOT! but i guess it had more to do with the beautiful girl, taking off her dress...

WTF... about ten minutes wasted waffling about eurovision song festival??? pffffffff
too much sun for me today...

Um... am I missing something here? In Australia they show this contest every year as a comedy show.
