Nor's Ireland.

TBH I don't think Ireland could afford to host next year's show if it won, that's why they send such crappy entries lately!

I miss Ireland's great entries Sad

So do I. The can do really great ones when they really want to. It'll be a bit less interesting without them in it - plus the UK won't be able to rely on their vote!

At least we didn't send Jedward again this year.

LOL. Well I didn't see any men I would fancy, so lucky old you!

A lot of beards this year! Shocked

Netherlands for me. It was country and western.
I usually like a few but this year wasn't great.

The only half decent song came second but a Conchita win was always on the cards.

To be fair they have a history of liking something a bit different, look at Lordi and that Israeli lass. All good winners.

Next year we should enter a metal band or a Scottish number with bagpipers and all, something different.

Europe loves transexuals and drag queens!

Actually I really liked the song - and the voice! It deserved to win. Sounded like a theme song to a Bond movie, sort of Shirley Bassie style.

WTF is that? At least our one bothered to shave, ffs!

by Guest Sun May 11, 2014 11:30 am

Good luck to her, she was about the only one who had a decent song (only about 2 others) and why should she shave Scrat? That is her, good on her for not caring what others think.

Hey I'm not commenting on its gender? Because I wouldn't know where to begin, but if that walked around the hamlet like that, the swat team would arrive in 11mins, safety off!, we had a police helicopter scan the area when rumours that a black person was seen in the vicinity were forwarded.

Jesus fucking wept!

Really Scrat. Wonder what they would have done about Simon Weston if he arrived then? Is it only 'normal' people allowed round your way. Crying or Very sad

by Guest Sun May 11, 2014 12:08 pm

Eurovision is a joke.

We know why that one won - to wind the population of Europe up - to teach us all a lesson.

Moaned that he was Welsh I guess, I live in one of the safest tory seats in Britain.

I'm all for progress, but I just don't get what that is, or what it's supposed to be!

Thanks Nems, Glad you've cleared that one up, I wouldn't know how to address him? without worrying I'm being offensive in some way.

Or maybe I just shouldn't worry about it at all, obviously mistakes have been made!

Did sound like a James Bond number, perhaps this could be used as a theme to a future film.

It was on the big screen on the tele in the lounge up the miners club so I caught some of it. I thought the Polish entry was a clear winner and that they were denied victory for nothing other than political voting.
It certainly went down well with the lads in the lounge who had just got off the Hearts supporters bus coming back from the match in Paisley and I really think they are a fair reflection of a cross section of a music loving public who sing and listen to songs on Saturday afternoon’s and sometimes on Sunday’s as well.

The Russian song was practically booed off the stage during it's performance, and every time that votes were announced for it Russia got booed again. Razz

by Raggamuffin Sun May 11, 2014 10:10 pm

I liked the winning song, although there was something slight odd about the rhythm.

by Guest Sun May 11, 2014 10:33 pm

I think it's hilarious how people shouldn't give a fuck about this sort of thing yet some people seem insistent on treating them like a novelty act.

Eurovision 2014: Voting controversy after UK public revealed to have voted Donatan & Cleo first – but jury placed them last

It has been hailed as victory for tolerance and a counterblast to a creeping tide of homophobia.
But, it seems, the Great British public was less enamoured by Austria’s 'Bearded Lady', Conchita Wurst, who swept to Eurovision victory preaching a parable of trans-continental camp, than they were by the amply displayed décolletage of the group of rustic milk churners that accompanied Poland’s 14th-placed entry.
For the first time yesterday Song Contest organisers revealed both the public and the jury votes for each act.
Yet whilst the official UK panel gave the maximum 12 points to the disarmingly hirsute cross-dressing Conchita, it relegated Polish duo Donatan & Cleo to the lowest place in the order.
By contrast the tele-vote result in the UK saw the Poles named as runaway winners. Ireland also followed suit, with the public similarly awarding first place to We Are Slavic compared to the last position given by its panel.
The Norwegian and Ukrainian public were also impressed by the Polish entry voting it their favourite song again contradicting the findings of their national juries which placed it 19th and 25th respectively.

And it appears to have been the same in several other countries as well. Looks like my judgement and that of the guy's up the club was spot on.
