OMG MOLDOVA!

THE GIRL IN A FAIRY COSTUME ON A UNICYCLE!
THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!
*DIES HAPPY*
(For anyone puzzled, here's my post from last year which explains things.)
ETA: We gave them 8 points! UK ILU! ♥

VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
on a probably futile mission not to find out the final result until I've had a chance to listen to at least the Radio 2 broadcast, but wondered what you thought of my picks?
LOL,

Re: VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
Didn't study them in detail, but I rather liked Denmark (bit too slow, and should have had a key change!), and thought Jedward were pretty good - bubblegum pop is something I'm rather fond of. Also they were *Eurovision Songs* - France was... very nice, but not right for the competition. (DIdn't watch the whole thing, though, so there are gaps in my knowledge.)
Re: VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
France was nice!
I don't like you anymore ;-}

Re: VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
Jedward were FUN!
This, btw, is my favourite Eurovision song of all time. (Closely followed by Alexander Rybak's Fairytale.)

(Anonymous) 2011-05-16 11:07 am (UTC)(link)Nope! Still don't understand. Does this mean something different in elisiese? Cause Jedward in Rayese would not be printable :-) And it was way back in 1998 that the UK had an entry that I would've voted for :-(
But I do like Nocturne a lot, as un-'Eurovision' (and I hate that concept, having watched it since as far back as I can remember; probably why I pick so few winners) a winner as Amaury Vassili & Sognu would've been.
Still one of my favourites came second, and there haven't been many swing/jazz entries in the history of Eurovision either.

Re: VIVE LA FRANCE!!!
Heh. It's just... well, apart from liking bubblegum pop, then Jedward were pretty much MADE for Eurovision. I mean, just look at them! (As Graham Norton said, when it was announced the the UK had given 8 points to Moldova: "You know, I don't think you're taking this seriously!") Or to quote my own fic, where The Immortal (Capt Jack) introduces Buffy to Eurovison (set in 2004, natch):
~~~
The show was certainly entertaining, but it wasn’t until the 10th entry that Buffy began to feel like she’d fallen into a parallel world.
“What’s with the Xena look?” she asked, boggling, but The Immortal waved away her complaint, eyes glued to the screen.
“Who cares? That is amazing!”
“But she can’t sing!”
“She’s a hot chick in skimpy leather. She doesn’t need to be able to sing. You’re missing the whole point of this.”
At least she was widening her horizons she supposed. Ukraine had until then never made her think of proto-Slayers rocking the stone age look.
By the time they reached the Russian entry, she felt it superfluous to ask why the pretty young female singer was using four primary coloured, half-naked hunks for sitting on...
~~~
Actually, this might be the ultimate Eurovision song. It's FUN, you see? :)
But I do like Nocturne a lot, as un-'Eurovision'
Indeed. I'm still so pleased it won! :)

That is true. And that one was lovely! :)
