May 17, 201313 yr 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? I am behind Denmark this year [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k59E7T0H-Us]Emmelie De Forest - Only Teardrops (Denmark) 2013 Eurovision Song Contest - YouTube[/ame]
May 17, 201313 yr 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!
May 17, 201313 yr Author ^ 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.

May 17, 201313 yr 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]
May 17, 201313 yr Author 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.
May 17, 201313 yr 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.
May 17, 201313 yr Author I was just thinking that. Maybe we could send Neil Hannon, it would be the best year ever. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OztB98Odm1M]Neil Hannon - My Lovely Horse (on piano) - YouTube[/ame]
May 18, 201313 yr 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.
May 18, 201313 yr lol i hate the Eurovision :p but i'm hoping Denmark will win cause they have Teardrops in their song name :)
May 18, 201313 yr The French contestant is sick! :cheesy: Literally, sick. She has a problem with her vocal chords I heard this morning.
May 18, 201313 yr 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.
May 18, 201313 yr Being a Brit, finishing second from bottom would be an achievement considering our record over the years !
May 18, 201313 yr Turkey is not there tonight, we are protesting Eurovision this year. I don't know which country cares our protest,really! :\ :\
May 18, 201313 yr We're always shit and the voting is always political But I always like watching the voting lol All the countries hate us so no wonder we dnt do well!!!
May 18, 201313 yr Author ^ Hate is a strong word. It's just like fair. Anytime you didn't get points it was because yer songs were shit :\ Same way when we sent a puppet turkey made out of a potato sack. Ya have to support your neighbours :D england nearly always gives us a 7.
