[QUOTE=Kickin Balls;44776801]Russia gettin boo'd whenever they won any of the top 3 votes from a country was outright hilarious, and even more so when there was a constant 'boo' going on when they were giving the votes.[/QUOTE] The Russian entry getting booed was just idiotic. People were actually pretending like it was Putin himself on that stage when they were just singers that gave a top notch performance in an event that isn't meant to be about politics. Why involve politics in such a manner and boo people who have zero relation to injustices that happen in Russia is beyond me.
[QUOTE=Kickin Balls;44776801]Russia gettin boo'd whenever they won any of the top 3 votes from a country was outright hilarious, and even more so when there was a constant 'boo' going on when they were giving the votes. I thought it was funny Ukraine gave Russia points. Knew from the moment I saw her a month ago that she'd win Eurovision simply because drag queen. But had a really good song and could pass off as a James Bond song like Skyfall. So all good I suppose. UK got more points than they have in the past two decades, that's an achievement.[/QUOTE] Apparently anyone voting in the Crimea region is counted as Ukraine and not Russia so that could explain it..
[QUOTE=Camundongo;44777085]Ukraine giving votes to Russia is because, for technical reasons apparently, votes from Crimea still counted as coming from Ukraine.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that was intentional [editline]11th May 2014[/editline] I'm also pretty sure that had nothing to do with anything. Russia gave Ukraine 7 points and no one is complaining
massive uber ultra super fagitry
[QUOTE=godfatherk;44776829]I didn't even watch eurovision and have no clue about the participants at large; just saw a short tweet about it pop up. I don't have much of an interest in music festivals or events; but eurovision is really a nice effort to strenghten our recognition of one another and bring mutual admiration. I personally prefer the football competitions like Champions/UEFA league. Winter sports are quite nice too, but they're not popular everywhere,only in some countries.[/QUOTE] Thank you for that useful information.

I don't understand... I watched it and it isn't really that good. She/he sounds super generic, but I guess she only won because she's different looking

Can someone explain the appeal of this to someone who isn't European?
[QUOTE=Swiket;44777383]Can someone explain the appeal of this to someone who isn't European?[/QUOTE] I don't think there is any real appeal, its just something that has always happened and everyone has always watched it.
Bah we should've sent Rambo Amadeus again.
[QUOTE=Swiket;44777383]Can someone explain the appeal of this to someone who isn't European?[/QUOTE] Is a good way of seeing the political situation in Europe,and sometimes even causes massive butthurt. Like now for example.
[QUOTE=Swiket;44777383]Can someone explain the appeal of this to someone who isn't European?[/QUOTE] This is like the Special Olympics except even more special
[QUOTE=Swiket;44777383]Can someone explain the appeal of this to someone who isn't European?[/QUOTE] American Idol but in Europe and with contestants representing Countries instead of themselves.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44776830]This got 2 points [video=youtube;hWJFfnHNOWI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWJFfnHNOWI[/video] If I was French I would be losing my shit right now[/QUOTE] How the fuck did that get 2 points? This is so good and I don't even understand a bit of French
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;44777567]How the fuck did that get 2 points? This is so good and I don't even understand a bit of French[/QUOTE] Sorry, fruxo, but I got some bad news for you.
Political correctness wins politically biased Eurovision, nothing more to say, I'm sure there was way more better artists from other countries.
lithuania 06 still had the best song
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;44777576]Sorry, fruxo, but I got some bad news for you.[/QUOTE] What is it Sargent
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44776830]This got 2 points [video=youtube;hWJFfnHNOWI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWJFfnHNOWI[/video] If I was French I would be losing my shit right now[/QUOTE] Me too, that was a brilliant song, and with the topic of moustaches it had that French quirkiness about it. Anyway, there were some great songs this year. The country and western songs took me by surprise but still were good.
First they win Eurovision, then they take back Hungary.
[QUOTE=Grindigo;44777579]Political correctness wins politically biased Eurovision, nothing more to say, I'm sure there was way more better artists from other countries.[/QUOTE] Oh c'mon. I miss Terry Wogan drunkenly tooting that as any other brit, but you just know if we won we'd be all TWO WORLD WARS ONE WORLD CUP and when we lose we're always "Muh bias"
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;44777567]How the fuck did that get 2 points? This is so good and I don't even understand a bit of French[/QUOTE] I do understand French and I'm sorry but it's awful.
[QUOTE=Grindigo;44777579]Political correctness wins politically biased Eurovision, nothing more to say, I'm sure there was way more better artists from other countries.[/QUOTE] France has Daft Punk, Kavinsky and crapload of well known artists that would easily top half of what the eurovision had to offer this year if it teamed with a good singer... yet we had Twin Twin. Something feels off. We have loads of decent to amazing bands, I just don't get it.

The winner was really mediocre imo. All I can remember about it is that it had "Rise like a phoenix" in the chorus and it was really slow.
Portugal should have won because blondie boobs
