Nah, Eurovision is seen as a farce by most people. European elections aren't impacted by Eurovision.

Of course, international relations are, but that's also a visa versa thing. :P

The UK song is anice song about peace and happiness. ^v^
The Finnish song is rock, but it's that boring indie-type thing. :p

I loved Lordi's song, though.


...So it's Irish?
Finland's is probably better than our hippy song :P (Sarcasm)

By the way, we seriously need a goddamn sarcasm punctuation mark. It's so much effort to have to type (Sarcasm) in order to not be offensive '-'

Yeah... I'm, uh, not a big fan. That drummer though. He should just do the whole thing by himself.

She sings like she's having her balls pinched...

But I'm with Lunas; so long as we beat the French it's all okay. :P

Anti-EU sentiment =/= Anti-Europe sentiment.

IR will be effected. I can imagine Belarus giving Russia nul points and then Putin invading them outright.

A long time ago. The UK has been consistently awful for years now.

And it's absolutely...hilarious. I might even go to the betting shop and bet that we will come last, I'm feeling lucky this year!

Has anyone noticed how very few of the songs are in their native languages? The number is a lot lower than the usual. :/

Hey, what they did was very clever. They know most people make up their minds by looking on YouTube for the entries, and well the video is epic:

I like the UK's songs, though. They're..... different.

Don't worry, I get it. I support the San Marino football team.

English is the bomb. I assume they're in English, anyway.

But one of those winners was -gasp- American.

I'm disapointed it's not in Polish. Polish is such a good language for singing about, believe it or not, Poland.

I know right!

Seriously though, I don't know if it's just me, but I prefer their song to ours. But I mean, I don't like our song because it's boring and the singer can't sing in my honest opinion.

I actually think that song is absolutely awful. (Runs).

It almost seems like they took the idea from the 2012 Russian grannies but replaced the grannies with Women who are models for plastic surgery.
