It's that time of the year again; eurovision is on. The first round was on yesterday and the first 10 finalists are known. I haven't seen too many of them yet but so far I'd like to offer my sincere apologies for the suffering The Netherlands is going to inflict upon the viewers and say that I think that Germany may actually win this year. I also liked the Israeli gig, but that's because I've got a soft spot for songs in Ivrit.
As is the tradition of this contest.Quote:

Here in Istanbul everybody hated me last night for correctly predicting that Germany would win.
I didn't watch it, but i saw the French one on youtube, i really like that one.

this is the german song. I think the accent is very funny.
^^Don't like it..French one was heaps better, but i also like that type of up beat music.
Agreed. I feel like every second year or so the winning song is something that would have sounded a lot better if it wasn't in English. :bulb:Quote:

Usually, not.. but there are some famous examples. ABBA pops into my mind.
Bucks Fizz, to a lesser extent.
Alright, a much lesser extent.
