phoinix Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 So finally the eurovision song contest is going to be this week! the semi-final from where 10 countries will move on to the finals is on Thursday the 18th the grant final is this Saturday the 20th!! cant wait! Cyprus has to pass from the semi-final cause we didnt do so well last year.. :-/ hope we will quilify.. Greece is the host of this years euro-song .. I have seen a few countries rehesral this week and the competition is high this year as well Unfortunatly the singer from Iceland wasnt all that nice...she used the F...word a lot during her rehersal while talking to the director and the greek fans who went to see her...She was saying thinks like F... u Greeks F...ing amateurs... 8- Quote
snefroe Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 The belgian song "Je t'adore" seems to be one of the major candidates i hear. It's already been a huuuuge hit in the belgian charts and they're campaigning thru out europe to promote the song... It's quite catchy, so for once we may have a shot to end up somewhere top 5. I'm still pissed at Greece's decision to change the voting procedure tho, because that's the only fun part of the show... Quote
phoinix Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 I'm still pissed at Greece's decision to change the voting procedure tho, because that's the only fun part of the show... This is not a Greek decision..It was taken from EBU at a eurovision-junior contest! I'm pretty pissed about this myself! the voting part was great fun!even better than the singing sometimes..!! But this year there are about 37 countries (i think) that take part and are going to vote in the finall so they did it to save time...i dont agree with their decison thow...i liked it better the way it was Quote
Scnicker Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Hmmm... I've always found Eurovision Contest a bit exaggerated. I hate the Turkish songs that were chosen over the past 2 years, but I love the fact that it'll be hosted in our neighbour country. Being half-Greek myself, I might go and watch it there *sweet* . I wish luck to all the contestants. Quote

OH boy a neighbour in eurobricks that is also half greek!! thats great!! nice to see you here!! actually this years turkish song is going very well and is very likely to move on to the finals according to all the bets on the net! i really like the Sertab song that had won for turkey!! i also liked the rock(?) song from the group that was called "Athens" (also from turkey) You have done well the last few years!!

Scnicker Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks *sweet* We're trying our best. Actually the second group's name is Athena and means Athena (the Greek goddess) rather than Athens :) . Ah, but the last year was a disaster. Quote

Kikuichimonji Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 I'm rooting for the Finish entry :-D The dutch entry is pure crap, and I don't think we'll even make it to the finals... Quote
sam89 Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 I don't even know what Britain's entry is! Believe me, you don't want to 8-| Quote

The Hordesman Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Contrary to popular belief: I hope Sweden gets the last place. Seriously. Quote
JoeMI6 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 This contest is usually a showcase for how weird some country's music taste is, or how bad a musician can turn out. I will not be watching it this year, or at least I'll try not to. The British entry is a joke. I've seen the middle aged guy performing his song, and it actually looks like this might be the first year a country gets sympathy votes (either that, or we'll go into negative numbers :-P ) Quote
phoinix Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 well up to now you guys have said the songs you dont like....how about the ones you like? or love(?) *wub* if there are any... :-/ :) phoinix Quote

The Hordesman Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I dont remember all of the entries (there have been previews in TV for a while) but Im sure I will just vote on an entry with violin, theyre all pretty much crap, but violin is my favorite instrument. The thing is; this is not about music taste. This is all about music distaste. I mean seriously- we got CAROLA- the bloody suck-ubus/harpy hybrid! The second place winner was surely over twentyfourthousand times better and counting. Its not about what song is best, its about what people think fit to be called a "Schlager song", and this way of thinking is retardation of our formely noble human species. OCH! I think I would go Finland (Lordi) but on other hand, I havent heard their song. I know they usually are very good. May V Quote
phoinix Posted May 17, 2006 Author Posted May 17, 2006 finland has to compet in the semi-final on thursday to go to the finals..chances are they will they have a rock song and the whole band are dressed like monsters! no one has seen their faces yet and dont know if we ever will..they wear masks or have their faces painted to look loke devils or smth... you can find information on the sites i already proposed http://www.esctoday.com this seems to be a good site to see the latest info from rehearsals for all the songs and chat in the forum phoinix :-) Quote
The Hordesman Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 they have a rock song and the whole band are dressed like monsters! no one has seen their faces yet and dont know if we ever will..they wear masks or have their faces painted to look loke devils or smth... Aye. Mentioned above- Its Lordi. Quote
snefroe Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 I haven't heard any song yet, except the one from belgium ... ah yes ... Spain... Remember "the Ketchup song"? it's a blue print of that... nope... not favourite of mine... I think the whole thing has lost quite a lot of its charm, really... There was a time when it was strictly forbidden to play the song before the actual show, now it's the other way around. If you don't campaign, you loose... Quote
Vader Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Ahhhhh i await the english guy whos in his 40's yet claims hes 30....oh and he raps the song..............oh joy :-| Quote
phoinix Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 so the night is tonight.it has arrived! in a few hours (3h 10m..but wko is counting?) the eurovision song contest begins!!the semifinal is here!!! we are all looking forward to this here in greece..its a big deal! hope you watch and let me know what you think about it..all comments are accepted.. i know that some of you who will watch will say that its the most kitch show on earth and thow i may agree with you we can still look at this with a bit of humor and have some fun!! thats what its all about! so grap a beer (well the ones that are old enough) sit back and enjoy the show! 150 million people are going to be watching with you tonight! ...i wish good luck to all but esspecialy to Anette Artani the girl that reperecents cyprus-my homeland! *wub* hope to see her in the finals! (she sings a ballad called "why angels cry" and makes a difference in the contest since most of the contestens sing dance rap rock and even country!!!) so have a good evening and VOTE!! *sweet* :-) phoinix Quote
