—"Winning Eurovision is not an option for Ireland these days, and fielding Jedward every year serves the double purpose of keeping them occupied, and ensuring the competition never gets anywhere near Dublin."

—"We prefer to call it the Father Ted Defense."

"Other songs I never want to hear again in my life include Israel's entry, which was a bizarre Pulp tribute act sung by a terrifying man with massive sideburns, accompanied by a woman on keyboards who appeared to have been at the wine." :eek:

Needs to work on the Sheffield accent.

I know, Israel is terrible this year. But I love the Russian babushkas and have to say we've got a decent song and a decent singer in Euphoria and Loreen.

Sweden will win.

What about Greece? She'll get the Balkan vote, so it could work in her favour (given the whole show is based around political voting). People feel sorry for Greece anyway. I think I'm going to watch Woy's England play Norway on TV instead, which like the Eurovision, will be terrible, but slightly amusing at the same time.

Let's vote for Greece. Staging this pile of steaming shite next year would be the final push they needed to send their economy over the edge.

Is the Hump sunk before singing a note at Eurovision?

'HMV, which is stocking the CD, said it was selling around 500 copies a week to hardcore "Humpers".' :eek:

We could have the best song ever written sung by anyone you care to mention and we'd still get shafted. I mean how can you compete with the likes of this:

Montenegro's hopes were pinned on "Euro Neuro", a Balkan "turbo-funk" plea to solve the debt crisis, by Rambo Amadeus. The song, which features the lyrics "Give me chance to refinance... don't be dogmatic, you need to become pragmatic", offers "optimism" and "nudism" as a solution.

Genius!

Balkan turbo-funk and a donkey!

All that video needs is lots of close-up camera shots of the donkey stopping, back to Mr Rambo Amadeus on its back, then back to the donkey shitting everywhere.

Would be nice if we won, but I think the Russian babushkas will.
