26th May 2012

Its nearly that time of year again, you know it, Eurovision hits Azerbaijan.
Feel free to discuss any Eurovision related topics

Last years winners:

Ell/Nikki - Running Scared

UK Entry for 2012:

Engelbert Humperdinck - 'Love Will Set You Free'

[Electronica]

Tanzen! I want to see more acts like this one!

[El Nombre]

I'm going to a Eurovision themed party with a few friends, it'll include past 'hits,' fancy dress and drinking games. We also have to bring a drink/food item from our designated country. I'm Slovakia. Not sure what to do there...

I'm chuffed the Russian grannies beat the slimy Dima Bilan in the Russian national selections. Bring on Geriatricvision 2012!

I always prefer entries that are unintentionally funny, like Dima's 2006 entry:

When he minces around the piano, cracks me up every time.

IT'S NOT WAT YEW RALLEH NEED... LOVE CARVIN IT INTO STONE!

"It's the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, and this time, the UK came prepared"




Anyone else kind of disappointed that Eurovision has become a massive political game?

[ConnorB]

Sweden is no doubt gonna be the winner.

Definitely, it's a shame really.

[Miracle Day]

I love Eurovision..

Is our representeative a joke? Since when do songs like that ever stand a chance of winning Eurovision and he said he wanted to come first.

ugh..

I prefered last years Blue entry to this.

[Ra Ra Ra]

There's a society? Yay!

On a slightly different note, did anyone else want the entry with the sand pictures (Ukraine?) last year to win? I'm still kinda disappointed that Azerbaijan won...it seems a little dull

Sweden kind of reminds me of a Leona Lewis.

Yup, since 2011's society fared pretty well last year I thought it be nice to make a yearly thing.

Also, yea, I remember that sand thing, I just wanted it to win because of the sand haha

Ukraine entry was so gimmicky! Denmark/Estonia/Italy should have won!

Or Sweden for smashing Schofield's cube

Had a look over the entry's

Thinking that, Sweden/Norway/Russia /Italy/Iceland/Ireland and maybe even Belarus could take it this year

[ConnorB]

Nothing like revising by putting on a classic "Blue Album" by Weezer followed by Party for Everybody by the Buranovskiye Babushki Grannies!

No it isn't a massive political game, it's just a circus of over choreographed shows.

I used to love this Eurovision thing and really enjoy until some time 5-10 years ago.

Engelbert FTW!

[Captain Jack]

Hooray! I've finally found my rightful home on TSR in the Eurovision thread!

I'm really disappointed that the UK is sending Englebert. We could still do so much better. The song is really disappointing too, I don't really feel like supporting it.

Eurovisions something that makes me stop supporting the EU.

Its also sad when you go on holiday to like Greece in summer and there still listening to the Eurovision songs months after...

[Ra Ra Ra]

That's it. I don't need to look at any more entries to know who I'm voting for.

COME ON RUSSIA.

[RabbitCFH]

I hope I don't forget to watch it this year. It's always ****loads of fun.

[Dexan]

Sweden will dominate ESC this year! They are bookies favourites as well (i think we are/were fifth). But as i dont really like the UK entry this year I will be an honorary Swede for the night as i adore this song. :P

I thought that too at first, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it. It may not be a traditional Eurovision-y type song, but I think it could do quite well.

Besides, nothing can be as awful as San Marino's entry:
