May 24, 200817 yr I think Eurovision is a load for c**p!!! It is become completely political, and it more like a popularity contest amoung europe, anyone who disagrees with me is obviously deluded!!! It is disgraceful and I think europe should be embarrassed with their actions. I am from the United Kingdom and our song was one of the best there, I'm not saying that as I am British, I thought the song we did last year was aweful. I am saying it from a totally rational point of view. So all you european countires out there, you should be ashamed!! The hell? Out entry was fucking awful! Russia was bad, but at least Ukraine and Greece where good and actually sent good songs, hence them being top 3. If we want to win, we need to stop embarrasing ourselves by sending shit.
May 24, 200817 yr it is mainly all polotics but thats how it will be as surrounding countries are obviously going to know the same artists and have same tastes etc
May 24, 200817 yr And a dismal finish for Uk for the 5th time running, UK needs a good entry next year if we want to win the Eurovision again
May 24, 200817 yr Good shock: Norway finishing top 5! Bad shock: Iceland and Sweden finishing in the bottom half of the table. :( Overall the top 5 was alright, but the winner was terrible.
May 24, 200817 yr Yes it is totally political!!! Have you noticed that each country votes for the country they are next to geographically?? Or a country that is their favourite?? I has nothing to do with the songs!! The songs are a joke, they will never make it in the charts. The UK is famous for our music the Beatles, The Rolling Stones etc. Also euorpean countiries hate England for going to war with America, this is also another reason!! Countries are not voting for us as we are unpopular country, simple as!! I think most of the world sees eurovision as a huge joke! The songs are terrible!!!
May 24, 200817 yr NO WAY did we deserve ot be last. Daz and the woman who got 0 points deserved it, but the sogn wasn't the worst. Germany and a few others were AWFUL.
May 24, 200817 yr cant believe sweden did so bad! i thought that was defo a top 5. Happy for Norway though :)
May 24, 200817 yr I liked Russia's entry, and the Greece entry was my favourite, but I don't think you can really deny there's a major political influence over voting. It doesn't always happen, and good songs do get votes, but all the top points go to the countries neighbours 9 times out of 10. Looking at this Russian entry though, the only actual good thing about it is the production!
May 24, 200817 yr Now that we have the final results.... I'm really guessing that Poland was the 1st semifinal jury pick. Unless they just did a lot worse in the finals...

Well we would have worse results if neighbourly voting was stopped, we got our highest points from Ireland. I honestly believe it's partly political, but largely due to countries that are close having similar music tastes and cultures.
May 24, 200817 yr I do quite like the Russian entry but its nowhere near my favourite. How the hell did that awful Azerbaijan entry get so many points?

Sorry mate but The Beatles & The Rolling Stones are in a completley different league to Andy Abrham. :lol: The whole world see's European as a joke? Does it really? Most countries take it seriously, we just treat it like a joke because we send in jokes. Dam, why am I sticking up for Eurovision? :lol:

I honestly believe it's partly political, but largely due to countries that are close having similar music tastes and cultures. It's something like the last 15 years we've had 15 different winners. IT can't be that political or it would be the same couple of countries all the time... Yes, the likes orf Russia and Serbia will always be in the top 6 or so, but they've only won when they;'ve sent a decent song. The reason the UK always do $h!te is because we send a $h!te song. The last good song we sent was Jessica Garlick and what a surprise, wee finished 3rd!

Don't believe want ever Terry Wogan tells you. Some countries have similar taste in music because they listen to the same music, in some cases the same media. It's not political, the better songs do better. The UK sent rubbish this year. It deserved it's poor placing.
