Grand Final of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest

Will both be aired on BBC?
More then likely yes, with Mr Nortan replacing Wogan, shame though, Wogan was the only bit that made it worth watching.
Wogan spent the whole show moaning. Done my head in and I'm glad to be rid of him.
I would only tune in for Wogan.
I always see Mr Norton as continuing his role from Father Ted. I just can't shake it.
Yes, it is kind of my own idea of a personal hell.Quote:

I shall be maintaining my long standing tradition of avoiding watching this like some kind of audio visual plague.
This'll be the 30th year by my count :)

For some reason I always get lucky and have been off the last three years- tho TBH I would happily take a day's holiday to watch it live. Not sure how that would go down with my colleagues, but hey-ho, I love it, and they can lump it when it happens!:lol:
No live thread this year? So far I'm voting for Moldova, Albania and Iceland. And France, unfortunately. Might have to vote for Romania just so I get to see the woman again.
My folks and wife are waltching this atm. I'm hiding on here.
I know what you mean, they definitely brought out the eye candy... :DQuote:

Yeah, shame about the slightly tubby male dancer!Quote:

Germany?! That song was crap. But crap songs usually win I suppose:rolleyes:
Umm, looks like there is not much love for the UK still :laugh:
*Checks it out on YT as I've missed the whole performance side of the show*
Just tuned in to see UK get knocked down into last place :lol: Another great result!
Our song was gash, but we didn't deserve to come last. In fact our song was better than the winner IMO.
Indeed, i get disappointed when we dont come last! Was cheering as Belarus went above us near the end :)Quote:

It would have been more interesting if Keep of Kalessin had got through to be Swedens entry :D

Maybe the UK should go back to metal, it was born here and then perfected in Scandinavia :), we might get somewhere for once... :D
edit: then again, inventing cricket hasn't seemed to have helped :rolleyes:
My face fell when we got more points near the end :(, then i was jubilant when Belarus got a 12 :DQuote:

Well, I enjoyed both 1996 and 1997 entries. Ooh Ahh Just a Little remains one of my fav/most memorable Eurovision song, and Love Shine a Light is a soothing song.
*shrug* One less thing for us to cough up for next year :)Quote:

What a fantastic Eurovision it has been last night!
My favourites were :
MOLDOVA - http://youtu.be/SWdHkjAUjUc
LITHUANIA - http://youtu.be/8uWd_I_RZOo
SPAIN - http://youtu.be/Q5m8aCZSvws
RUSSIA - http://youtu.be/W3dT2QpteWI
AZERBAIJAN - http://youtu.be/WHtqxnV-8yA
UKRAINE - http://youtu.be/czVgNO4HmsY
IRELAND - http://youtu.be/4tgtyl_5x5Y
But, the winner was
DENMARK - http://youtu.be/Et4nd8XFTgo
As with every Eurovison, there is a particular songthat everyone remembers for its uniqueness, there was the Greek Assassins Creed guys, Saxophone guy, last year's sideways feet moving guy, this year it was Azerbaijan's glassbox guy
awful were hell is all the kitsch pop and folk ?
ireland had the right idea with presentation / tribal drums then chickened out and threw in some crappy rave melody with the lost member of boyzone..
talk about bad type casting..
from 4 i saw it looks at least they got right pick as the winner - but hardly blockbuster stuff like the good old days..:)
Thank goodness Mr Cameron has guaranteed an in-out referendum on Eurovision by 2017 :mrgreen:.
In the meantime, the Pub Landlord should represent the UK imho.
There's talk of Rickie Gervais doing it as David Brent. Would love to see Equality Street on there...
He was in a glass case of emotionQuote:

I think Greece should have won, purely to see the disappointment on their faces when they realise that they have to spend the money to host it! Helped that it was catchy

that is way better than denmarks offering imo,their even wearing kilts !!Quote:

As was Romania's act. The sort of insanity that can really only come out of Eurovision.
Apparently the singer from Denmark sang in her barefeet because Bonnie Tyler nicked her shoes. Really hope that happened.
Its kilt with splits be dammed , look Oscar Wilde proves it .Quote:

Igor the giant didn't do much, just carry the signer to stage and disappear. PfffQuote:

The Romanian guy was Cezar. Interesting performance hehe
That's why I loved him! They went to the effort to track the guy down, dress him up like a Wagnerian Colossus, then not have him do anything. Surreal doesn't cover it.
Cezar was a Twilight/Phantom of the Opera mash-up. With Dubstep. I loved every minute of it.
No Russian grannies like last year.
Big loss.
