EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 It's time again for the Eurovision song contest, the biggest thing to happen in Europe since World War II. With the final kicking off tomorrow night, who are your favourites? Who is the most ridiculous? the worst?

IMightBeWrong Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I am behind Denmark this year WHAT!? How can you not be certain that our cheap, heart-gesturing, bodhran thumping, uninspiring slice of Euro-corn-pop will run away with it!?! Don't worry Ryan, I still believe!

EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 ^ Poor Ryan. And the terrible thing is that he was the best out of the other Irish contestants. I quite like Sweden's song too, it's mom and my sister's favourite.

IMightBeWrong Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I must digress for a second, still our highest low, the moment we knew Ireland would never try to win Eurovision again: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW8IHDxsTLE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW8IHDxsTLE[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 this probably would have gotten more points [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg]Father Ted | My Lovely Horse | Channel 4 - YouTube[/ame] Probably? ... of course it would have. It's genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMightBeWrong Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hahahaha sweet jaysus I love being Irish, if Dermot Morgan were still alive I am sure we would've entered that and most of Europe would be wondering what the hell we were on. "We have to lose that sax solo!" Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 I was just thinking that. Maybe we could send Neil Hannon, it would be the best year ever.

IMightBeWrong Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 He makes it sound like such a beautiful song, despite the absolutely ridiculous lyrics. As long as he had a horse on stage to sing it to at Eurovision, we should definitely send him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancyk58 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I am from Denmark and glad to hear that several people here like the song. When Emmelie won, she let the Danish public know that she had Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as ancestors / relatives. Their eldest son, Bertie better known as King Edward VII (who was by the way married to Danish-born queen Alexandra), had several extra-marital affairs - i.a. with an Austrian princess. Emmelie's grandfather was son of Edward and said Austrian princess. Emmelie's grandfather later married a Swedish lady of the Swedish nobility. Her Swedish father married a Dane. So she has a very international (all-European) background so it would be nice if she won. But as Danish television could not confirm the story - as is seldom the case with roaylty with illegitimate children - then it was decided not to publish the story internationally. But EMMELIE says that she knows that the story is truth. And based on that I choose to share it with you. I have just bought a cake with Denmark on it on marcipan - I wonder if all other countries have also made cakes with the nationality on them.
