Eurovision Song Contest
« on: May 30, 2010, 10:45:07 »
Hi guys,

Did anyone watch it on television last night?

The UK did fantastic as usual  ::)  >:(

It would have been a bit better if we had backing singer who could sing in tune, and a song that didn't put europe to sleep  ::)

Sweden didn't qualify for the final :C
If Salem al Fakir would've competed instead of Anna Bergendahl we would finish top 5 for sure in the final!

The Netherlands has the all-time worst score of all European countries..
If you see the standard of the finals, that is a sobering fact.. ::)

And yet, we try it again every time. Why don't we just save us the humiliation? We have some very good musicians, much better then the 'sha la lie' disaster.  ::)

Actually the standard of the finals this year was very high. There were only about 3 awful songs throughout the competition.

One thing that will never be aired on American television (one of the few things) is Eurovision. ;D

Eurovision is too high standard, I suppose.. (no canned laughter) ;D
Does the US still use NTSC (Never The Same Colour) instead of PAL..?

Al Quaeda TV would be a start

If we'll air The Bad Spambot Club, and the Flavor of Love, you'd be surprised how low our standards are.

Still, I guess it's worse in the States..
