May 12, 201114 yr I don't see any other country then UK liking Ireland's entry (and UK won't vote tonight) twitter is raving about Jedward... <_< so i don't know... might be two things though: 1. all of those people are from UK and Ireland 2. Jedward final dress rehearsal just finished, so it's "fresh"
May 12, 201114 yr twitter is raving about Jedward... <_< so i don't know... might be two things though: 1. all of those people are from UK and Ireland 2. Jedward final dress rehearsal just finished, so it's "fresh" Probably both, I don't think people in Europe know Jedward, I didn't know about them hadn't I been on this forum.
May 12, 201114 yr I think if Israel go through it will simply becuase its dana international singing it, i was shocked it was such a weak song when i first heard it. Im not a Jedward fan but with the way things are going i think they are gona do well and will definitly sail through the semi final with ease even though i hate the song. Denmark and Sweden are the 2 i would love to see going through tonight and i think they will. In bold are the 10 i think will qualify tonight: 01 / Bosnia & Herzegovina - Dino Merlin - Love In Rewind 02 / Austria - Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love 03 / Netherlands - 3JS - Never Alone 04 / Belgium - Witloof Bay - With Love Baby 05 / Slovakia - TWiiNS - I'm Still Alive cry.gif 06 / Ukraine - Mika Newton - Angel 07 / Moldova - Zdob Si Zdub - So Lucky 08 / Sweden - Eric Saade - Popular 09 / Cyprus - Christos Mylordos - San Aggelos S'Agapisa 10 / Bulgaria - Poli Genova - Na Inat 11 / Macedonia - Vlatko Llievski - Rusinka 12 / Israel - Dana International - Ding Dong 13 / Slovenia - Maja Keuc - No One 14 / Romania - Hotel FM - Change 15 / Estonia - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street 16 / Belarus - Anastasia Vinnikova - I Love Belarus 17 / Latvia - Musiqq - Angel In Disguise 18 / Denmark - A Friend In London - New Tomorrow 19 / Ireland - Jedward - Lipstick
May 12, 201114 yr I don't think most of Europe will understand the propaganda :P It's catchy and tbh most of Europe don't understand English :lol: Now that just isn't true! English is the most spoken language in Europe, it saves the Brits from learning a new language which they are far too busy claiming dole to learn and and it prevents the American's still getting over the shock of there being a world outside their own border [THE SHOCK, THE HORROR] from having heart attacks at there being languages other than 'american' [a.k.a. gang raped English] I can't say three either :lol: You can roll R's pronounce this beast: Ø, yet can't say 'th' :huh:
May 12, 201114 yr I WOULD LIKE THE FOLLOWING 01 / Bosnia & Herzegovina - Dino Merlin - Love In Rewind 02 / Austria - Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love 03 / Netherlands - 3JS - Never Alone 04 / Belgium - Witloof Bay - With Love Baby 05 / Slovakia - TWiiNS - I'm Still Alive cry.gif 06 / Ukraine - Mika Newton - Angel 07 / Moldova - Zdob Si Zdub - So Lucky 08 / Sweden - Eric Saade - Popular 09 / Cyprus - Christos Mylordos - San Aggelos S'Agapisa 10 / Bulgaria - Poli Genova - Na Inat 11 / Macedonia - Vlatko Llievski - Rusinka 12 / Israel - Dana International - Ding Dong 13 / Slovenia - Maja Keuc - No One 14 / Romania - Hotel FM - Change 15 / Estonia - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street 16 / Belarus - Anastasia Vinnikova - I Love Belarus 17 / Latvia - Musiqq - Angel In Disguise 18 / Denmark - A Friend In London - New Tomorrow 19 / Ireland - Jedward - Lipstick
May 12, 201114 yr If Sweden doesn't go through, I will CRY. Genuinely one of the best songs there, performed by the prettiest person in the competition. I would not cope.
May 12, 201114 yr Who I think will get through is in bold, the ones I want to get through are in italics: 01 / Bosnia & Herzegovina - Dino Merlin - Love In Rewind 02 / Austria - Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love 03 / Netherlands - 3JS - Never Alone 04 / Belgium - Witloof Bay - With Love Baby 05 / Slovakia - TWiiNS - I'm Still Alive 06 / Ukraine - Mika Newton - Angel 07 / Moldova - Zdob Si Zdub - So Lucky 08 / Sweden - Eric Saade - Popular 09 / Cyprus - Christos Mylordos - San Aggelos S'Agapisa 10 / Bulgaria - Poli Genova - Na Inat 11 / Macedonia - Vlatko Llievski - Rusinka 12 / Israel - Dana International - Ding Dong 13 / Slovenia - Maja Keuc - No One 14 / Romania - Hotel FM - Change 15 / Estonia - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street 16 / Belarus - Anastasia Vinnikova - I Love Belarus 17 / Latvia - Musiqq - Angel In Disguise 18 / Denmark - A Friend In London - New Tomorrow 19 / Ireland - Jedward - Lipstick
May 12, 201114 yr Author I WOULD LIKE THE FOLLOWING 01 / Bosnia & Herzegovina - Dino Merlin - Love In Rewind 02 / Austria - Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love 03 / Netherlands - 3JS - Never Alone 04 / Belgium - Witloof Bay - With Love Baby 05 / Slovakia - TWiiNS - I'm Still Alive cry.gif 06 / Ukraine - Mika Newton - Angel 07 / Moldova - Zdob Si Zdub - So Lucky 08 / Sweden - Eric Saade - Popular 09 / Cyprus - Christos Mylordos - San Aggelos S'Agapisa 10 / Bulgaria - Poli Genova - Na Inat 11 / Macedonia - Vlatko Llievski - Rusinka 12 / Israel - Dana International - Ding Dong 13 / Slovenia - Maja Keuc - No One 14 / Romania - Hotel FM - Change 15 / Estonia - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street 16 / Belarus - Anastasia Vinnikova - I Love Belarus 17 / Latvia - Musiqq - Angel In Disguise 18 / Denmark - A Friend In London - New Tomorrow 19 / Ireland - Jedward - Lipstick Anyone wishing for a Moldovan qualification deserves to have their house BURNT TO THE GROUND. That is all.
May 12, 201114 yr So excited for tonight! The results will be shocking no doubt as any one of about 14 countries could qualify. Here's how I personally rank tonight's entries, with predicted qualifiers in bold: 08 / Sweden - Eric Saade - Popular 13 / Slovenia - Maja Keuc - No One 15 / Estonia - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street 12 / Israel - Dana International - Ding Dong 02 / Austria - Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love 19 / Ireland - Jedward - Lipstick 01 / Bosnia & Herzegovina - Dino Merlin - Love In Rewind 09 / Cyprus - Christos Mylordos - San Aggelos S'Agapisa 16 / Belarus - Anastasia Vinnikova - I Love Belarus 05 / Slovakia - TWiiNS - I'm Still Alive --- 03 / Netherlands - 3JS - Never Alone 18 / Denmark - A Friend In London - New Tomorrow 14 / Romania - Hotel FM - Change 04 / Belgium - Witloof Bay - With Love Baby 17 / Latvia - Musiqq - Angel In Disguise 06 / Ukraine - Mika Newton - Angel 10 / Bulgaria - Poli Genova - Na Inat 11 / Macedonia - Vlatko Llievski - Rusinka 07 / Moldova - Zdob Si Zdub - So Lucky I think one of either Israel or Ireland will make it, or both of them over Austria or Cyprus. I think though that the juries and casual viewers will disregard Jedward more despite their good draw. As far as Slovenia goes, I am also concerned. The main reason the song struck a chord with me initially was because of her outfit and the camera work. Sadly, she's ditched black for silver which isn't as striking. Fingers crossed the still shines through though! Incase anyone is interested, here's how tonight's entrants rank in terms of previous success in semi finals: 01 Ukraine 02 Romania 03 Bosnia & Herzegovina 04 Moldova 05 Sweden 06 Denmark 07 Israel 08 FYR Macedonia 09 Ireland 10 Latvia --- 11 Cyprus 12 Belarus 13 Bulgaria 14 Slovenia 15 Netherlands 16 Estonia 17 Belgium 18 Slovakia 19 Austria
May 12, 201114 yr If Sweden doesn't go through, I will CRY. Genuinely one of the best songs there, performed by the prettiest person in the competition. I would not cope. One person's pretty is another man's smash-face-in-with-a-hammer-able.
May 12, 201114 yr Now that just isn't true! English is the most spoken language in Europe, it saves the Brits from learning a new language which they are far too busy claiming dole to learn and and it prevents the American's still getting over the shock of there being a world outside their own border [THE SHOCK, THE HORROR] from having heart attacks at there being languages other than 'american' [a.k.a. gang raped English] You can roll R's pronounce this beast: Ø, yet can't say 'th' :huh: I was sure most Europeans don't understand English well... I mean most of Germany and France refuse to speak English! Maybe I'm wrong... I say one, two, tree, four, five... without realize that I say tree and not three :P My boyfriend always stops me when I sing "one, two, seven, tree down the rockefeller street" :lol:
May 12, 201114 yr One person's pretty is another man's smash-face-in-with-a-hammer-able. That man is WRONG.
May 12, 201114 yr tbh Alex Sparrow is hotter :kink: and so are the group 'A friend in London' In the programme book I ordered there is a picture of them with open shirts :wub: http://en.nkfu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/a-friend-in-london-5.jpg

When I was in Portugal at the start of April everyone spoke really good English. I find that European's, especially those this side of the Iron Curtain, speak really really really good English. Hell, when I was in Slovenia they spoke pretty good English too.

May 12, 201114 yr I am VERY tempted to watch the live stream from the ESC website without Scott Mills' constant need to talk over everything, but my internet would probably die at the thought of it.

What's 'The Iron Curtain'?

I find that European's, especially those this side of the Iron Curtain, speak really really really good English. Hell, when I was in Slovenia they spoke pretty good English too. i remember in Germany younger generation had no problem speaking English, older didn't know a word. i guess it's similar in former USSR too. my parents generation was more about German (what? were they preparing spies or something? :lol: then why not for America-USSR cold war?) my generation and later kids know English better. well "better" than theit parents who didn't know it at all :lol: my parents were smart and got me to language school from 1st grade, even though it wasn't our school district. 20 some years later (10 of which were spent in America) my English is, actually, sometimes better than my Russian... lack of practice i guess... the thing is... having studies foreign languages in Belarus (English and German) and in US (French, don't ask lol) i can see why former USSR are so bad... the approach is different. here (US) it's more about conversational language, breaking down mental barrier of being afraid to make a mistake. back there it's all about grammar and vocabulary that you don't ever use. i mean my final exam oral topic was Political situation in Great Britain... other options were Ecology in Belarus, Most prominent people of US, etc... come on! let's sit down and translate Queen songs for crying out loud! :lol:
May 12, 201114 yr What's 'The Iron Curtain'? the divide between USSR and bourgeois and capitalistic plague of Europe and America :lol:
May 12, 201114 yr I thought Scott Mills was a decent commentator personally - it's not as if he was talking over the top of the performances or anything?
