so the drag act won I'm glad, Wien is a rich city in a rich country with a rich cultural history, next year's event should be pretty stellar.¨ Mostly I'm just glad that Hungary didn't win with their imaginationless amen-break song
[QUOTE=PyrO_o;44776072]And this "guy" will be everywhere...[/QUOTE] Nah, it depends. I haven't seen last year's song much.
As a resident Austrian I can say that there have been at least 3 drunk people in my street shouting about Conchita Wurst and giving horrible drunk renditions of her song (my street is literally surrounded by bars and pubs) Also fun fact: last time Austria won the ESC was in 1966
I'm a bit bummed out that the UK didn't do as well as expected this year, It was way better than the last couple of years but it deserved to do better than that. Hell it seemed they where taking the piss at one point with the bit with Molly and the cake and Graham in the booth. But maybe that is me. Still, the better act won, but now Austria has to host it on the 60th anniversary... Good luck with that...

Poor France tho ;_;
France had such a good and fun song, got last place (2 points lol) Austria had a kitchy song that won only because it was sung by a transvestite with a beard. Europe is dead

Why did my country have to win? God damn it. Also, that was a guy and not a woman, as many seem to believe here. Obligatory #rekt to the rest of Europe.

[QUOTE=Scot;44776358]The UK's only real neighbour is Ireland so we are eternally fucked unless we get a singing kangaroo or something.[/QUOTE] Or we could get a good song that can make it in the European music charts, I mean I liked this year's one but if you compare it to some others the audience where singing along and dancing our they just stood there waiting for the ad' break to go to the toilets.
[QUOTE=GmanIsJoker;44776334]cool story bro 14x Agree 4x Agree 5x Agree 4x Agree[/QUOTE] Most of those were because tbh Austrias song was a really really mediocre one. I can't even remember how it goes anymore.
Welp, now to wait for next years eurovision
[QUOTE=GmanIsJoker;44776198]Why is everyone hating on Austria? It was a genuinely good song, everyone here's just being butts and saying that Conchita only won because she was a drag queen... I mean really?[/QUOTE] why "really?" pointing out the possibility of him having won only because he's different and not because of the quality of his song is a perfectly valid criticism

I really think ballads and other "dramatic" songs don't fit eurovision, the whole thing shouldn't be taken as anything but a funny song contest.
Seriously, France's song was several times better than Austria's song.
I loved Hungary's, Switzerland's and Norway's songs, could've never predicted this top5.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44776635]Seriously, France's song was several times better than Austria's song.[/QUOTE] France's studio tape was good but either the mixing was off or they just couldn't nail it in the finals
Sweden should had won this round.
Denmark's song was brilliant. Shat on everyone else's.
i voted for Denmark
Denmark was bland and copycat just like the majority of them. At least the beard had a motive and belief about it. That's why she won. It's not just about how much you look sound like Bruno Mars or how much of a catchy pop hit you can be. tbh the Hungary vocalist was miles ahead of the Mars enthusiast anyway. I personally thought Netherlands was the best musically.
No offense, but why couldn´t she shave before entering Eurovision? I really don´t want to say she is a bad singer, because she simply isn´t, but imo Netherlands and Sweden was better.
So apparently this year they had a screen which told people what to do. Applause [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/64g8lYc.png[/IMG] Turn on light function on cell phones [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnTR1jcIEAA92kP.jpg:large[/IMG]

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;44777256]That feeling when you know your country will never win ever.[/QUOTE] Trust me, us Finns had that same feel until 2006.
[QUOTE=Megalan;44777153]So apparently this year they had a screen which told people what to do. [/QUOTE] i guess that's how russia got boo'ed
Conchita Wurst Sounds like she's trying to be Adele Singing Skyfall. So if it makes you feel better UK, you pretty much won.
