Did anyone watch Eurovision?

My guy set up the webcam so it was pointed to the TV and we spoke to each other via Skype.

So... thoughts?

I really wanted Romania to win .

[homesick_american 1]

Didn't watch one instant of it.

I watched it as a virtual guest at my sister's Eurovision party in England. My American husband and brother-in-law were just 'What the hell...' the whole way through... which is how it should be!

Luckily I have Sky TV here in Germany to be able to giggle at Terry's very non-PC comments. Lots of Jaeger and Red Bull and giggles, I loved it!

Wanted Ukraine to win for the pure Eurovision-ness of the band and the song (Rule #1: must have some inane counting (preferably in various languages) or repeated nonsensical words shouted every so often.)

Yeah uh... hell no.

I did hear that Britain came second last, with ireland dead last, with scoochs 'song' I'm surprised they werent executed there and then for crimes against humanity

ba ba da, ba ba da,

ba ba da, ba ba da,

Duty Free madane?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

The whole show is terrible, and its comical for anyone outside europe to watch.

I think they should have an American version of the Eurovision, with each State entering, would be fun.

Some were even more horribly terribly awful than Scooch, though I know it is really hard to believe! And it's pretty comical for most people inside europe to watch too! I don't know anyone who takes it even remotely seriously

This was suggested a while back, but I don't know what happened to the idea:

I didn't watch Eurovision in any way, but I would have done if I had the chance, its highly entertaining.

I enjoyed Switzerland's entry "Vampires are Alive" LMAO!

[Lou Lou 1]

I watched about 20 mins of it by flicking through each entry. There was no way I could listen to the whole lot. There were some class A costumes tho...oh lordy. As the old man said while he was trying to read a book..."What a load of old sh*t!"

(I've been training him to turn into Gran - he went to school in London for 8 years so he's doing quite a good job. )

So I watched a few of the songs...

Wow..

After watching American Idol.. I can only imagine the class of an American style eurovision... definately worth a watch if for nothing else than the butchering of music.

[Dr_LHA 3]

Presumably an American "Eurovision" wouldn't be the Karaoke fest that is American Idol though. After all the idea of Eurovision is supposed to be the song writing, even though the pizazz has somewhat taken over.
