even hosting the event Portugal can win with this song

How I understand you by looking at your top :unsure: :lol:

:w00t: :w00t: :w00t: Dont ever say that not even joking :nono:

Portugal might win again :rolleyes:

RTP = Government = Tax payers Governemnt will inject more money for the event, dont worry, I just hope they dont make it at Coliseu dos Recreios, that place is awfull for this, they have the Atlantic Pavillion or the Campo Pequeno, and fingers crossed for a amazing stage better than previews editions. Or which I doubt, they could make it outside of the capital.

my dear I also like some cheesy pop music, but at least I admit that theres is music that is disposable, for me a disposable music is thos cheesy pop music I enjoy but then in the next months I forget about and move on to next ones, while real music STAYS in my list to listen when my mood ask for it.

that a lie, it was given as breaking news from the moment he won from most of the channels, and RTP had a live interview with him and a discussion about it with a panel.

Moldova eurovision song was disposable, per example.

you have to add the emotions you can deliver, the way you sing that lyric, and many other feelings that Ed will never be able to give. What we portuguese means with making real music is when radios throws at us songs that plays more than 20 times a day, and next month we dont listen to them anymore because theres another fast "food" music, if you get offended well just take it as a offense, shit music is already a offense to people who enjoys real music art.

this was a slap to those who always insists that Portugal should sing in English, no matter what language you sing but the emotion you CAN deliver. Im amazed how Moldovia got so many points from Jury :o their song was stupid.

ahahaha look many people here that love fast "food"music thats why you have "obese" ears :D

Australia 12 points to ..... UK, so predictable. humm now I understand why Australia entered the eurovission.

Lyric of the Portuguese song: "If one day someone asks about me Tell them I lived to love you Before you, I only existed Tired and with nothing to give My dear, listen to my prayers I beg you to return, to want me again I know that one can’t love alone Maybe slowly, you might learn again My dear, listen to my prayers I beg you to return, to want me again I know that one can’t love alone Maybe slowly, you might learn again If your heart doesn’t wish to give in Not to feel passion, not to suffer Without making plans on what will come after My heart can love for the both of us"

too late for that, she wouldnt be better neither worse than suzy, not coment that the english version is far worse than the portuguese.

Russian authorities forbid supporting Conchita Wurst, drag queen who won Eurovision Prohibition relates to the fear of clashes between gay activists and people who defends anti "gay propaganda 'law. The Russian authorities banned the holding of a parade in celebration of the victory of Austrian Conchita Wurst drag queen in this year's Eurovision, arguing that they want to avoid clashes between gay activists and the population defends anti "gay propaganda 'law in the country. "Rise Like the Phoenix," the theme that led to victory Conchita Wurst, eventually rising to the first of the themes of the Russian bestseller iTunes store table. See the video below. The victory of bearded drag queen would open to criticism by Russian politicians, Dmitry Rogozin, deputy prime minister, saying that it showed "the supporters of European integration the European future: a bearded young girl." Vladimir Zhirinovsky also, nationalist politician said in an interview with a Russian TV channel: "there is no limit to how we feel affronted It's the end of Europe Became wild Already have men and women have this....." Zhirinovsky goes even further, adding, "fifty years ago the Soviet army occupied Austria. Made a mistake in freeing her. We should have stayed." Remember that in 2013 Russia implemented a series of anti "gay propaganda 'law, arguing that these laws were made to protect minors.

one call one vote, and thats it, this should be the system of eurovision, no juries like it what happened in the portuguese national contest but it didnt worked so well because RTP decided to let one call voting unlimited in a song.

"Eurovision: A continent divided in its sexual attitudes? In his second post on this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, Dr Alan Renwick looks here at what the voting patterns tell us about attitudes towards sexual minorities across Europe today. This year’s Eurovision Song Contest has been won by a bearded drag artist from Austria. There was much talk beforehand about whether the votes cast for Conchita Wurst would reveal a divide across Europe in attitudes towards alternative sexual identities. Attitudes in the north west, many supposed, would be more progressive, while attitudes in the south and, particularly, the east were expected be more conservative. Is that borne out by the results? The map below colours in the countries participating this year according to the points they gave to Austria: blue countries gave Austria 12 points, red countries gave it no points, and the intermediate colours show the scale of points in between. Certainly, things look bluer in the west (south as well as north) than in the east, though there are exceptions, notably the 10 points that went Austria’s way from Georgia. Points given to Austria http://blogs.reading.ac.uk/readingpolitics/files/2014/05/Eurovision-2014-Austria-points.png If we look at averages, we can see that Conchita won, on average, 4.4 points in the countries of the former Soviet Union excluding the Baltics, 6.0 points in the remaining former communist countries, and 10.5 points in the remaining countries (Scandinavia, the west of Europe, Greece, and Israel) – so there does seem to be quite a difference from east to west. But we need to dig a bit deeper. The points that are awarded are, in almost all countries, calculated on the basis of a combination of a jury vote and a popular vote. (This year, San Marino and Albania had only a jury, while Georgia had only a popular vote.) If social attitudes differ across the content, we should expect that to be reflected in the popular vote. As the next map shows, however, differences in popular attitudes seem to be much less marked than the overall points suggest. Only one country – Estonia – put Austria lower than fifth in the popular vote. Conchita ranked within the top three not just in most of western Europe, but also in Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia. The average points she would have won had only the popular votes counted would have been 8.0 in the former Soviet Union excluding the Baltics, 7.3 in the other former communist countries, and 10.0 in the rest. So the differences are really quite small. Points for Austria based on popular vote only http://blogs.reading.ac.uk/readingpolitics/files/2014/05/Eurovision-2014-Austria-popular.png The final map shows what the results would have been had only the jury votes counted. Conchita would have done much less well by this measure. Whereas she ranked lower than fifth in only one country in the popular vote, she failed to make the top five of the jury vote in sixteen countries. And here there does seem to be more of an east–west split: seven of the nine countries giving Austria no votes on this measure are in the former communist world (San Marino and, surprisingly, Germany are the exceptions). The juries in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Belarus all put Conchita among the lowest placed acts. On the jury vote alone, she would have averaged just 2.5 points in the former Soviet Union except the Baltics, 4 in the remaining former communist countries, and 8.4 in the rest. Points for Austria based on jury vote only http://blogs.reading.ac.uk/readingpolitics/files/2014/05/Eurovision-2014-Austria-jury.png The results suggest, then, that we do live in a divided continent. But the divisions might penetrate much less deeply into society than we often suppose. The differences revealed in the popular voting are slight, whereas those in the elite juries are very marked. Of course, this is only one source of evidence. There is much, much more than this to be said about attitudes towards sexual minorities around Europe and across the world. Nevertheless, there might be reason to hope that, even in those countries where the ruling elites are often highly intolerant, the wider population might be readier to accept that different people might be different. Update, 13 May 2014 This post has prompted lots of discussion, which is great. Lots of you have pointed out that there are many other factors that we need to take account of besides those mentioned above. Absolutely right! It’s very likely that LGBTQI people are disproportionately represented among Eurovision voters. Different national juries are composed differently. Tastes vary for many reasons, not just attitudes to sexuality. Voting for a drag act does not always mean you would welcome your son’s boyfriend into the family. And there are many more good points besides these that have been made in the comments below and elsewhere. The original post was intended to look at some patterns in the numbers and encourage some discussion about what they might mean. It was not intended to be a thorough analysis! I’m really glad it is serving its purpose – and providing some light entertainment too. Oh, and sorry to those of you who would like a key to the colours on the maps. You’re quite right and I did produce one, but then I couldn’t get our rather clunky website to display it properly. Alan"

Some in socially conservative Russia want to abandon the competition 'We cannot tolerate this endless madness' - Communist Party official - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-26...s_campaign=1490 Russians Are Shaving Their Beards In Reaction To Conchita Remember how people in Russia and Belarus launched petitions to ban television stations from broadcasting Eurovision if Wurst took part? And how the audience at Eurovision didn’t exactly give Russia the warmest of reactions during the contest? Well, this is how Russian broadcaster Andrei Malakhov responded to Wurst’s win, tweeting he was “shocked” at the result. - http://www.buzzfeed.com/alanwhite/russians...-to-conchita-wu Whats your opinion? and if theres any russian here, what are yours? ---- Did they missed Dana from Israel?? :D
