I forgot about that Mickey.... must check! But.. wouldn't the sheer popularity of this song in Europe just put Germany ahead anyway?

[MickeyPaul]

This song? I honestly don't know gavin. You mean Germany? If I recall, I think I said this year's Spain was the worst entry I'd ever heard (this was early doors) but I'm away to try the lastest vid with fresh ears and open mind.

[Gavster]

I meant Germany. I'll try hieroglyphics next time

Spain is rather fucking torrid too. I review says all that needs to be said really. You may as well stick to your original stance as it was fairly accurate. (Spain currently about 5.0 and shortening).

Made me lol there. I was pretty hard on it. We talked about this a lot last year though - first impressions. I aaaaalways end up after 4-5 months or whatever it is of listening to them, I begin to crack on some. Greece would be a good example. Detested it and now it's like a holiday listening to that, 'HEY!'. Serbia is another.

Spain is just blending into my brain with Ireland, Norway, Georgia, Malta, things like that. Tons of them. It's proably the worst of them all (for me). Some songs just literally have nothing good to latch on to.

Just who will vote for this dire mess?

[MickeyPaul]

Chavvy, neddy, types. Bump bump bumping from their little pimped up cars. And Komp seemed to like it. That seals it's fate really.

1:40 the cameraman is more in tune than they are. This is 20-25! (hopefully 25)

Holiday camp music, you what, you what, you what you what you what!

catchy but thats about it, at one time it may have been enough to be in with a shout but I'd like to think the Eurovision has come on a bit since those days, still it will get votes and a top ten contender imo.

That's exactly what it sounds like in the last vid. Butlins! Yay!

[squallsquall]

Almost made top10! Not wierd or anything, nono.

[Gavster]

This surprised me more than most! Really shocked!

[Beanie]

That was bizarre - I wasnt even watching that part of the scoreboard and suddenly it was there, only for Ukraine and Russia to pass it by. Scary...very scary...

[Gavster]

Did Eurovision get phone-jacked by Senegal?

[squallsquall]

Western pop completely owned the competition... will be interesting to see if it was all jury-influence!

[MickeyPaul]

They were the getting the crowd going a fair bit and despite it's really awful badness, it was standing out among a huge amount of garbage with it's big beats and chanty ass wiggling. Some people just voting on stuff they can dance to while pissed up (partying) I guess. And of course, the beautiful lyrics.
