Here are the results of the Swedish jury... or maybe not ! Its the Eurovision song contest tomorrow - will u be watching it ???

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/eurovision/2004/contestants/

Meh, in the inevitable abscence of anything better in the Saturday night TV schedules, no doubt I'll end up watching at least a bit of it if not all of it.

Forget the crappy songs, i just enjoy Terry Wogans sarcastic remarks during the short intro's!!

I dont know how anyone can physically watch the entire thing it seems to go on for days? Or is that just me?

Yep it has become a bit of a thing if we are in to just watch it for the Terry bits, highly amusing.

Eurovision Song contest?

How on earth did the word SONG get in there?

Eurovision 'Croak, Wail, Die on Stage, Look a T!t contest more like.:mad: :confused:

Worrying I scrap my original comment as I have just sat through the entire thing with my flatmates and wasted 3 hours of valuable essay writing time.

The Ukraine won by the way, the girl seemed to be a Shakira cast off?

Oh and we didnt get null points but we didnt do very well

Sheesh we came 16th !!!

Kinda glad I missed it and forgot to tape it !

Meh, that was the only reason Ukraine won IMO, cos their song featured fit bids gyrating about in tight leather.... Nowt to do with the actual song itself.

When it looked as though Turkey were going to walk it though I was shouting "FIX! I bet they bribed the chuffing judges!" at the screen.

I've not watched this for 10 years. I can't believe it's still going.

I thought the Bosnia, Malta, and Ukraine songs were the only good ones. The UK song did much better than it deserved!

(My fiancee FORCED me to watch it by the way lol) :shakes:

Yeah the UK song did suck.

No doubt it'll get to #1 in the charts though purely cos it's sung by a blonde hunk with a mullet.... Bleh, young teeny boppers are SO fickle.

I didn't watch this one but Eurovision occasionally has flashes of genius - the very camp swede in his skintight leather being stroked by various nubile wenches and so outraging all the judges and Germany's entry who performed a cowbell solo in the middle of his performance - and who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour!!!

some people tell me i look the spitting image of james fox :(

well I watch it every year - it's so camp it's great, and Wogan's commentary is fantastic. :)

So what did you think of the UK entrants ?

Hope Javine wins it - she was fab and can actually sing !!!

Here are my vote-notes :

Javine - cross between Beyonce, Kylie and Jamelia :P

Tricolore - fab but not really a eurovision song I think

Gina G - looks old and haggared. Not sure about her outfits !

Scott-Lee chap - OK I guess

Katie Price aka Jordan - looked like a pink Blancmange with Blonde wig stuck on top !

Well tonights the night!
And it has finally proved in my mind that Barbie cannot sing.

I swear on all that is holy in this world that if Jordan wins this tonight I am going to boycott the Eurovision.

If she wins, is that the best that the UK really has to offer the eurovision? Its a slap in the face for music on the whole.

The rest of them:

Javine- the song was OK but I dont really think we need a cross between kylie and someone trying to beyonce do we not?

Gina G- Better 1st time round really, not a chance.

Scott-Lee- Nope, song was too cheesy for me.

Barbie- stick to doing what you do best love.. shagging owt with a pulse and getting your tits out.

Tricolore-
Now these are my favourites to win the thing.
As I like Il Divo I appreciate a good song and I think these guys have a good song to win the eurovision on the whole.

AND PLEASE: would someone explain to me why all the 'contestants' were lying about what they did previously in their interviews.

Javine- someone handed me a note in a club?? WTF.
Your a girls aloud reject love. Dont lie about it.

S-Lee- was on Pop Idol was he not?

Why the lying??? Did anyone else see them saying this stuff also?

Javine wins it with barbie in second place. Sheesh !

The presenter of the web vote [that sang at the start of the show] was rather fab in her outfit :P

Barbie in 2nd place!!
Shame on you the people that voted for her!

Well fingers crossed Javine does better than last years efforts then.

Did I see Javines boob pop out?

thank god jordan didnt win

I'm with you on that one PT! :thumbsup:

K x

I wish I had confidence in my abilities like Jordan (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds19713.html) has! Silly cow! :hihi:

K x

You have to love Jordan though dont you!
The girl tries to be something she is not and just fails miserably.
But she keeps on going- like the duracell bunny!!

NO Jordan, the other girl won because..
a* She sounded and sang better than you
b* She didnt look a right cock in her costume
c* She does not get her tits out at every opportunity (mind u??)
d* She is not a publicity seeking ****wit is she
e* And most important of all - Javine has TALENT

Gentle reminder - finals on next weekend :thumbsup:

Im just hoping Javine does not have a wardrobe-malfunction again like last time... I dont think the judging countries would go for that if it did happen again.

When is the actual eurovision song contest on? I love watching it cos terry wogan is hilarious! :hihi:

It's on Saturday from 8.00 - 11.20 on BBC1 :thumbsup:

Those with freeview etc may like 2 watch the 'behind the scenes' programme on BBC 3 afterwards from 11.15 to 12.20 [which is followed by Doctor Who and thus makes for a fab night !]

Well that's my plans for Saturday sorted. Friends round, Chinese takeaway, lots of wine and then commence laughing at hairstyles, bad dancing, ill-fitting outfits and primadonna attitudes.

All this to look forward to, and then there's the Eurovision Song Contest too! :D :thumbsup:

Hey there is a quiz here in case u get bored :P

7 out of 12. Not bad to say that I pretend I'm not interested in Eurovision!

I'll be watching. Love to watch the dreadful countries but the most entertaining part has to be the results where it all gets political. :rant:

I'm sure Terry Wogan ripped this **** out of it all last year didn't he?? Shall we expect the same??

I'll bet my last penny that Greece and Cyprus give each other 12 points again! It happens every year! :suspect:

Lol would to try something like that 2 :)
cya

Eurovision is here !!!Quick look busy !

God save us honnestly ... Eurovision, come on ... Even Eastenders is more interesting (sticks fingers down throat) :gag: :gag:

Javine is having problems with her throat - I can see a disaster coming for the uk

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4565987.stm

:suspect:

Loved how she blames it on a sound problem :P

Well if your a gambeling man inside sources tell me the Greek's are going to win....Remember you heard it of your Postman first :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hmmm typical second class delivery - it says that on the BBC link i posted !

A portuguese friend of mine is backing Hungary to win - may have to switch allegiance if Javine doesnt sort her throat. Maybe I should offer to kiss it better if she has no Halls soothers :P

Well yes but if you get down the betting shop you can double you £££££ :P thats the point :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Vote Russia! and i wont turn u into slaves when the revolution comes....i promise ;) Also on the next sensus put R U M as ur religion! yet again i promise u slavery free life :D

cause of Wogan's commentary I'll be watching it for sure... I'm also gonna vote... :P

I can't believe that the link in the first post of this thread still works... who on earth still wants to look up the contestants in last year's contest? For that matter, who want's to look up the contestants in this year's contest either.

RUM is coming folks :wink: Better choose youre side well :thumbsup: VOTE RUSSIA!

Woah talk about deja vu - cant remember starting this thread last year ! This years' therad is here :

http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31447

What's the female presenter's voice like ? Terry is right - goes right thru you !

Ruslana was good - shame no whips and leather this year though :suspect:

Javine seemed a little flat in places but otherwise OK, might even get us a couple of points :)

I don't think Javine made a bad job of her number at all. If it was a choice between her and the woman singing for Malta I'd pick Malta.

That said, seven necks and a diamante encrusted creation that looks like it was made of furnishing fabric (very wise to remove the curtain hooks) is never a good look! :D

All v good so far...

Terry wogan, what a guy! best laugh i have had all day!!!!

Norwegian glam rock - how cool ! Looks like sommat off 'stars in their eyes' :cool:

Bloomin' heck - Albania have a supermodel for their entrant. :thumbsup:

is it just me or does the spanish group sound like "las ketchup"? you kow the ketchup song? :gag: :gag:

Dunno, but this Israeli song reminds me of sommat. Or maybe its just the singer :P

Originally posted by savbaby

Loads of them have sounded similar tonight; I think Malta's the winner in my book so far, despite the outfit!

Kristian now retracts kitty-claws; make typing v difficult!

I think Denmark may do quite well this year - this guy and his backing singers are pretty good and so they'll pick up the female votes ....

=====
EDIT : scrap that, they'll go for the sewdish chap. Ho hum

my 6 month old is sat staring at the tv! she is fascinates by it.. maybe all the bright colours and screechy voices reminding her of the kids programmes!

Lol !

That German rock chick was pleasing to the eye but too many high screechy bits in it.

Mmmmm, Greece on now :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oooooh! I'm lovin' Bosnia & Herzegovina! They do know who the Eurovision audience is! ;)

That old woman with the drum been on yet?

I see the Latvian entries are suffering from restless leg syndrome! :D They also seem to be performing in BSL; very odd!

Less than 10 mins 2 get yer votes in - not long !

Think i like the Swiss entry the best, followed by Bosnia and Israel :thumbsup:

OMG! Just realised Ireland aren't in the final! What on earth has happened? :o

They fell out at the semi-final on Thursday, as did Portugal and some others

Plus, there are three countries so far with 'Nil points'; Cyprus, France and UNITED KINGDOM! Eek! :o

Jeez, France have points. It's just us and Cyprus now at the bottom. I blame Tony Blair! :rant:

EDIT - Cyprus now have ten points. Poor old Javine!

didn't Javine's boobs fall out tonight? ;) has the old women with the drum been on ? you can guess i'm not watching it can't you.

Good old Ireland! :clap: :clap: Thanks for the ten points! :D I thought we were heading into a Jemini situation!:blush:

Terry keeps referring to someone as 'Granny'; I think it's Moldovia? Is this who you mean Jon?

How did I miss that gem? :heyhey: :heyhey: :heyhey:

Just been watching eurovision (yes i know it's quite sad) and Isreal are one of the countries, surely they are a middle east country aren't they? how can they qualify?.

Also we have no points again at this moment in time (memories of lindsay drakas or whatever she was called). How come nobody gives us any points?

Is anyone else getting fed up of the eurovision?
Javine's song was half decent and we are still getting ****e points... is it not time that we called time on this stupid and pointless program?

And also is the british taxpayers money going to funding our entries into this competition?

At certain times of the day, I'd happily classify myself in either category! :D

we're discussing the good and bad points of the result-casters in chat room if anyone wants 2 join us :P

So how long have they not said each result in various different languages??? They always used to...... is this a recent change or am I out of date???

who's winning :roll: ???

Because everyone hates us!

I don't hate you :P

You're right Neeeeeeeek, the show's hosts used to say the results in both French and English; now they just say them in the language not used by the countries judge.

not the tax payers the tv license payers!

Who would buy the dvd?

Top results :

Greece 230
.

.
UK 18

:gag:

I-S-R-A-E-L qualify because they are, believe it or not, part of the federation of european broadcasters, or whatever it's called. There is a league of European Broadcasters, and most countries around the north of the Meditteranean are members. (Russia, Latvia and Lithuania are also members!)

They have been taking part for ages, I remember them winning in about 1979 with "a-ba- ni- be" by "Izhar Cohen and the Alphabetas" (they also won a couple of years ago with Dana International's "Diva".

PT

Guess Greece won? what made this song so good lol

Probably partly because countries vote for neighbouring countries, but probably also because the UK entry was among the worst songs. I actually think we got more votes than we deserved!

i think its more due to the war! like last year we were snubbed due to the war.. the year before was cause the girl dint hit one note!

Terry just made a good point; the four major contributors to the finance of the Eurovision song contest came in the last for places; Spain, UK, France and Germany. :|

The behind the scenes show on BBC3 is pretty funny :thumbsup:

Plain talker you seem like a bit of a eurovision anorak!!!:hihi: thanks for the answer on Israel.

I have to say though that I think most of the songs are pap and it is a completly pointless competition that appears to be politically influenced.

Mod: Threads merged.

Well there you go, after a year of Liserning to my Girlfriend going on about her country winning 2004 Euro cup over and over again.

i now will have to lisern not only about the Greeks winning Eurovision, but have to endure "that song" over and over and over again.:gag: :gag:

Thank you very mutch europe

and not forgeting the 50p cost on the phone bill as see voted for Greece and Cyprus (ill have to hit the overtime next week now) :clap: :clap:

Greeks =

:loopy: :loopy: :loopy:

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I think the eurovision should be scrapped it's not about the music it is political & it is a shame on the singers or bands who finish at the bottom who are better than the one's who win,when was the last time a greek singer was in the UK charts apart from Demis Roussos apologies to your girlfriend if I spelt his name wrong.It is supposed to be a singing contest & it is a farce now.Well done to Greece twice a Euro winner.

Totally agree with you. It should be scrapped. The voting is always the same. Same old countries voting the same way each time.

As for us. I think Javine did pretty well, she certainly didnt deserve to be anywhere near the bottom. I mean it was fair enough lst year when we finished bottom as we 100% fully deserved it because we actually was krap last time. Gemini or whatever they are called are the worst singers ive heard in my life. So I do feel for Javine. Well at least we beat the Germans ay. 2 World wars, ! World Cup and a Eurovision Song Contest :D

I thought the UK had gotten themselves relegated from it on purpose a few years ago - its a total waste of money and air time which we pay for via the licence fee :(

I think I heard somewhere before that the UK will always be in it no matter what because of all the money that the UK puts into it. If UK, Spain, Germany and France got relegated for finishing bottom, then that would be the end of Eurovision. These are the main contributors.

lol George Michael is Greek - cypriot :o and cat stevens the guy from blue (dodgy looking guy) My Girl friend rests hers case. :loopy: :loopy: :loopy: :loopy:

(look what you have done)

Uk song this year writien buy greek - cypriot guy

and uk song last year sung buy a Greek - cypriot Chick!!

THERE EVERYWHERE :help: :help: :help: :help:

:D

Why to Greek guys have beards?

To look like there mothers :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

now if you excuse me im about to get beat up by my G/F :clap: :clap:

All this just sounds Greek to me??? :confused:

So the sooner UK, Spain, Germany and France get relegated, the better then!

What an evening of complete drivel that show is. Song contest? More like 'dress up stupidly and wail incoherently whilst falling around like an epileptic drunk contest'. The songs were crap - all of them- and the voting was decided by each country BEFORE the songs were even sung. Cyprus votes for Greece/Greece votes for Cyprus. FYR Macedonia votes for Croatia/Croatia votes for FYR Macedonia. Denmark votes for Norway/Norway votes for Denmark......and so on. UK, Spain, Germany and France obviously have few friends in Europe.

I watched it on and off (for a laugh), but sat through the entire voting session, and I could predict who would vote for who. What a joke!!

Its about time they ran the show based on the SONG and not the manic sideshow we saw yesterday.

:gag:

yes but UK won't get relegated. The rules used to be that the bottom 2 (I think or 3 or 4, can't remember) were relegated. But that year when we got 0 points, they suddenly announced a rule change and introduced the semi-final thing. Basically they couldn't let UK not be it in because it pays for a huge majority or the show.

So fear not, UK will be in it somehow, even if it means another convenient rule change!

Its all good :D
