Eurovision song contest.

I dont understand, I just dont understand this thing.
Methinks youz in the states dont get so much coverage of the Eurovision so consider yourselves lucky.
Ive seen it on & off all my life (its one once a year I think) twentysomething countries compete with thier "best" musical artists.

Jesus Christ!! What is this shit, 26 terrible terrible sickeningly vomit enducing songs, NOTHING can compare to the sheer magnitude of shit this painfull 2 hours contains. It is quite literally an exercise in bad taste.

Think pop, the kind that football stars make when they run out of cash & use thier public profile to make money, then bring it back to the 80's stagnate it for a while, let it go stale & steep it in a gimmick or 2 a funny dance rutiene or a contortionist on the stage or a girl who tears off her dress & has a different color dress on underneath.
How can every entry be so tragically bad?? how is this shit possible??
Next year Im going to book myself in for nasal surgery instead of watching this verbal diorreah. It is sickening, truly dire muse-kack. & the plebs actually call a phone number to vote for the "best" What the fuck?? Has the world gone mad??

It's an acquired taste. Especially in today's pop climate, all we really want is someone to look good. Give a little shake, and little bounce and the people are happy.

Besides, the main audience for Eurovision are middle-aged people. I think. Because a lot of the music is terrible... and... just really bad.

The Eurovision takes the piss; some of the countries aren't even european, for gods sake.

I'm english, and I'm not embarrassed about the 0 points, the whole show is so lousy.

Go Mickey Joe Harte!!...
he what?....eleventh!?....how is that possible!?... he was irelands greatest musical talent, chosen from THOUSANDS of auditionees to go and win you're a (euro) star. (think American Idol).

God, I've no idea why people watch it...as far as I know, its nothing to do with the music. most people just tune in to watch the voting.... seeing countries fulfil their obligations by voting for their neighbours and those they have close relationships with...or failing to fulfil these duties and...shock horror! stabbing in the back!

i love the british guy who always commentates the Eurovision.
he makes these really hilarious comments over the top of the show. classic.

[Pyrate]

Do not so much as utter the very syllables that constitute that wretched 'contest'. It must be the only 'contest' where everyone is ultimately a loser.

[Mr.Deflok]

I split my side laughing at the lamenessity of this contest, oh dear god how the pain still blissfully lingers!

Turkey won right? Hahaha! Hillarious

the only thing i know about the eurovision song contest is the sketch on Monty Python's Flying Circus. that was the year that Bing Tiddle Tiddle Bong won. that's a real toe tapper.
