Eurovision: Pick Your Favourite

[The End Is Nigh]

Finally, it's down to 25. So, who will win this time the most coveted prize in music?

 

[scy12]

To tell you the turth i wasn't paying attention to the songs as i didn't see any of the Eurovision semifinals. Armenia and Ukraine singers did appear as beautiful from what i saw in random showings of them in tv. Statistically there are many eastern european countries so i say Ukraine.

France will not win, but they got the best song.

 

[Perfection]

Greenland should win because it isn't really a part of Europe

Following the criteria of the festival, by can't vote in my own country, I'll vote on the song from Azerbaijan.
I love the very concept of opera and rock mixed together.
If you don't see this picture, try this one: do you remember the music 'Barcelona'?

The best intermix between genres ever done, with the best rock singer ever and one of the best opera sopranos ever? Nah, don't remember that.

Good old Freddy and the great Montserrat Caballé!!!

Where is the "all rubbish"-option?

If we ever want to bomb Belgrade again, now is the moment.

 

[scherbchen]

Haven't seen all the entries but I fondly recall the German group being put together on POPSTARS. 3 out of the original 5 are just plain gorgeous.

 

[Quildavyr]

Turkey will win this one first,then Euro 2008

 

[REDY]

Israel, Armenia, Ukraine, maybe Greece.

 

[Deep Thought]

I think that Iceland should win.

 

[Truronian]

Croatia or France should win. Bosnia would also be acceptable.

I told ya! France should win

That was a traversty. The top 5 all sucked.

Greece and Armenia were ok in a "usual Eurovision fodder" sort of way. Croatia and Portugal came middle of the pack, which is a victory for them given the voting format. Russia won, for the first time ever, SOLELY off the ethnic vote. In times past, the song has, at least, been DECENT. But this time no. Solely ethnic voting, i.e., 12 from their former colonies and a lot of midrange scores from other countries with Russian minorities.

It's time Eurovision changed to regional voting blocks rather than national voting. Or something.

 

[raketooy]

Russia has too many neighbors. :/

 

[really]

FIX - the Russian song was sh1t - I reckon some guy has an army of bots voting. (probably a Russian billionaire)

I voted for Spain for what it's worth.

Edit: Russia won by the way.

A friend just texted that it is a gas and oil issue.

What are the full results? Didn't have time to watch something I knew was going to be crappy. So I only know Russia won.
