May 16, 200917 yr @ Julie: a song contest in which all european countries take part. it is broadcasted on tv in all europe, and the winner country organize the festival next year. according to many people it just goes with politics and not with music itself.
May 16, 200917 yr What's Eurovison? If they mean what I mean, it's a music competition in Europe. This year in Russia.

May 16, 200917 yr I wasn't aware it was apparently so ridiculous. I've never watched it, only heard of it, and heard some of the songs entered in it. Although not much of the music is very good imo.

Ooh it is VERY ridiculous and music is VERY VERY bad... I think ABBA was the best thing ever from Eurovision. After that... So true... ABBA was the last good thing that came from Eurovision...
May 16, 200917 yr i agree with you Carlos. ;) some wiki info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision

Ah I see now, but I guess I really can't judge it if I havent seen it. But it seems kinda cool. :wacko:

But everything else is just not working out very good... :) It's all about politics and 'neighbourhood' :( Neighbouring countries will give each other the highest points and countries with a huge musical background usually end up somewhere at the bottom of the list. The most annoying fact is that these countries (UK, Sweden, Germany) are paying the biggest shares of royalties for the whole event and that sucks big time :( It's just very frustrating when you realize that a really good song doesn't get any recognition because it's not from some certain countries which stick to each other ...
May 16, 200917 yr i just got to remember how shocking was for some people when the swedish band lordi won :uhoh: i reckon they were original on stage... but at this point then if Blasted Mechanism ever takes part on that to promote Portugal they should win. (ops i'm going off-topic). i agree with you kirsten. and i didn't knew who pays that sorry.

I don't know for sure whether actually these countries pay for the event itself but at least they pay the highest license royalties for the organisation. And I reckon' most events will get sponsored by the organisation and that not only Moscow/Russia or whoever will host that show will have to pay for the expenses. Could be wrong, though :confused:

And won! ;) But now we have some crazy lady singing opera..
