sobsobsob

so my 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th made it throuigh, as did my 15th, 16th, 20th and 23rd. Lithuania really peeves me...how the bloody hell could it go through but not Belgium? Bah.

I'll still watch the final, if only to see the Aussie win for Germany.

Eurovision is back? Oh bloody hell...

hey, dont take eurovision for granted; be glad you can participate.

[Platypus]

Indeed finland *never* win

I'm not surprised france finished so poorly; no matter how good their song is they always do.

My favourite was the German entry, in part because the singer was born in Australia. I also really liked Belgium's and i'm VERY dissapointed it didn't even make the final.

Hugh, how could you have liked the Iceland song? It actually made me feel sick, it was like one of the worse freak-shows I've ever seen. It's an interesting symptom that one song (Iceland's) was a tribute to, wait for it, the singer herself, and another, Lithuania, a ridiculous pep song for themselves. I don't get how you could like that either, anyone could have written it.

The Icelandic song was a comedic act performed by an actress. It was mocking Eurovision and the type of singer who performs in it, and it did it well.
