Eurovision 2009 - A Comic Masterpiece

Every Year I wait in anticipation for the EUROTRASH song contest, a festival that for 53 years has brought us finds such as ABBA , Cliff Richard, Celene Dion and Julio Igalasies. Take a walk down memory lane with me before we look at this years little pearlers.

History of winners by year:
www.eurovision.tv...

The most famous: ABBA Waterloo


Last years winner Russia. He's moves in that white satin are soooo sesssy. I actually only realised a year later his song was sung in English, not Russian.


Now the winners In 2006 were a particular favourite of mine


Chiki Chiki was actually last years finalist, and not a clip from Eurovision 87, The backupdancers falling over are incredible.


Ukraine 2007-speechless


Azerbaijan 2008-davil versus angel, this 'rock opera' just made me thow up in my mouth.


Dana Internationl Israeli tranny wins



This thread may only end up including posts by me, as not many are brave enough to confess their addiction. I only watch it if it has Terry Wogan commentary.
My place is having a Eurovision party, plenty of snacks and champers, so feel free to join us. I will be 'blogging' on this thread my thoughts on each of the country contestants and the the tragic hosts of course

This year its in Moscow this weeked, Ill post some of the finalists soon...so until then, 2 points to zazzafraz...Duex poin du Zaazzafrazz

Here's Vladimir Putin's personal favorite for this year, Azerbaijan's entry:


Arash & Aysel - Always

Here is Norway's entry. I believe they might win.

SOME OF THIS YEARS ENTRIES:

Im not sure in Turkey if she could get around in the get-up. I actually pick this to win as its getting the most promos (not because I think its any good!):



United kingdom: Always terrible :bnghd:


Finalnd:"Lose control" I may lose control if i ever have to listen to that again


The Netherlands:looks like they rounded up an old folk group and forced them at gunpoint to donn latex and leather...very akward!


Albania: OH DEAR


MOLDOVA: Its fun...if Im at a Greek wedding smashing plates


LATVIA:the lead singer looks like Jerry Lewis in the Nutty Professor

eeeooww the leader male singer is 100, and the female is 16! The dancer with the long hair (male) looks like a serial killer.

and the winner is: SERBIA! I suspect the Croats may have landed a H-Bomb on his house during the 90's war, how else do we account for that nuclear hair?

Turkey's entry sounds like a copy of the Greek winner song from 2005...

reply to post by Hellmutt


Very much so! HHHmmm Helmutt how did you remember that? DO you have a Eurovision problem you need to confess? If I went through your DVD collection what would I find? The back catalogue to 1953?

Here's This years Greece. It looks like a Stonewall performance in Sydney ( a legenary Gay bay)


Here's Macedonia's John Bon Jovi:


Croatia 10 points for a cutie (the guy for me as Im a gal). but minus 9 points for horrible singing off key. oh god, he sounds like a cat being gutted



HELMUTT as a DANE can you explain this please?


OK my eyes hurt, I need NUROFEN.

I'm Norwegian, so I don't need to explain anything. I only live in Denmark

Here is Sweden's entry. The Swedes believe they will win this year. I believe Norway will beat them. Let's see. The finale is on Saturday, May 16th in Moscow.

Is that a man doing False Seto? Sweeden always think they will win, they roll out the Annafrid look-alikes time and time again, trying to recapture that 1976 glorious ABBA moment.

My prediction both NORWAY and SWEEDEN should be safe from each other winning this year

The winner will be announced from the International space station!
Oh i luuuurve Eurovision.

Here is my personal favourite Czach republic....pppfffttt hahha

In case anybody missed it. Norway won with a record 387 points.


BBC: Norwegians celebrate in Moscow

it was great norway won well done


i have a kind of hate-love towards that eurovision song contest

germany participates all the time - i am going to spare you the fruitless attempts of german contributions to the contest
it is more than embarrassing
and when it comes to points the german moderators who are translating the words of the guys on stage for the german nation *coughing coughing* always rants or curry favor

"thanks to denmark for the 5 point"
"ah the netherlands should have given us some points"
etc.

and than the shame or relieve depending on which place among the last 10 or 5 germany got again.
as if it really means something

omg
omg
omg
its time again!!!!!!!!
Hellmutt will you be hosting this year?
I hope so cause its in Norway!!!
