Title: Eurovision Song Contest 2015
Post by: Jonzu95 on May 11, 2015, 06:09:27 AM
Anyone else watching this year except me?

I have a feeling that UK has good chances this year. There are so many boring ballads while UK, Finland and couple others are different compared to everyone else.

I think I got my top 10 sorted out.

1. Georgia = Nina Sublatti - Warrior
2. Sweden = Måns Zelmerlöw - Heroes
3. Belarus = Uzari & Maimuna - Time
4. Australia = Guy Sebastian - Tonight Again
5. Moldova = Eduard Romanyuta - I Want Your Love
6. Estonia = Elina Born & Stig Rästa - Goodbye to Yesterday
7. Switzerland = Melanie Rene - Time to Shine
8. United Kingdom = Electro Velvet - Still in Love With You
9. Finland = Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - Aina Mun Pitää
10. Denmark = Anti Social Media - The Way you Are


My bets to top 3 in the Grand Final are

1. Estonia

Electro-swing is my favourite genre of music behind VGM. I love this song.

At least Great Britain were above Germany.

To be honest I was forced to watch Eurovision...

I was watching inbetween connection error dialogs from the Splatoon public test issues, and I was surprised we got that many.

Then again I also didn't give the slightest ballsack about what songs I did hear

Came up with a couple of jokes last night to do with it:

I. Any countries bordering Russia that didn't vote them are probably being invaded as we speak.

II. My family had the idea of letting the rest of the world vote instead of the European countries to make it much more balanced...
...

In all honesty though, I expected that we'd do MUCH better. I'm still gob-smacked after France didn't give us any points since electro-swing is quite big over there.

I don't care about that, I just care about the fact that the only good song came pretty much last.

Australia was pretty good too, though.

Eurovision ballad contest is over for another year. Seriously, is it just me, or did half-three quarters of the songs there just blend into one-another? And our song this year just seemed a bit tryhardy if I'm honest. 'The thing that won the past few years has been some catchy upbeat bulls***, let's make something like that.'.

Maybe I'm just salty that they didn't have any rock songs this year. I did quite like Georgia's and Armenia's songs though.

Keep in mind that they're mentally handicapped and they are not pretending to be something else. In my opinion, I wasn't fan of the song but really happy for the guys for getting this kind of opportunity.

Oh I wasn't criticizing that song or the artists, just Eurovision in general.
It's awesome that those guys got an opportunity frankly, as painfully generic as that song is. I remember reading about them before the competition somewhere. It does feel a little bit like they were just given that chance because of their disabilities though, like playing on that to try and win. I'm sure there's a lot more proficient punk bands in your country :P

Ah, I was talking specifically about the songs on the night, I don't really listen to any of the Song for Eurovision (or whatever it is called) stuff.
