I think Jedward were the best performers in tonights semi-final

[TheUnMember]

Oh heavens above. I'm not just being unreasonable am I. I need an intervention.

Noo it was the Russian Grannies

Semi-final of what?

Eurovision Worra.

The grannies qualified and I could hear all the kids next door screaming when Jedward went through. :o

Ahh right

I think our entry is a fucking embarrassment

A completely tuneless song by an old orange has been

I liked Jedward.

Jedward did the best cartwheels of the night, I thought.

Oh I know, Englebert Flumpadonk is pants.

Didn't hear Jedward but saw the grannies

YANBU they're brill

I think next year a crack band of MNers should form a band called 'Fanjo', and sing "It's not Unreasonable" a la Tom Jones.

Dix points, right there.

Lol @ Flumpadonk

They were a bit off key but made up for it with enthusiasm. Reckon the song could grow on me. Doubt they'll win though. That honour must surely go to the dreadlocked howler from Slovenia?

Jedward are a complete pair of plonkers but there is just something about them.

Poor old Englebert. I'm so sick of that bloody song on Radio 2. He'll lose and I hope never to have to hear it again after Saturday.

What is the traitor Jamie Callum doing writing songs for Germany?

I don't think Jedward were there. I think they were look-a-likes. They sang in tune.

That's a perfect description of the dreadlocked one almondfinger. She was a definate howler

Their song this year's not as catchy as Lipstick. But the cartwheels and costumes are as good as ever. Bless 'em, they turn up ready and willing to entertain. I think the Russian grannies will storm it though.

The Israeli song was a rip off of Deam Lover by Bobby Darin. We decided that on another very analytical thread. Kind of.

I love Jedward. I used to hate them, but they grew on me. Like spring fauns in a Wrong Narnia book.

The favourite to win, according to the bookies here in Sweden is ... Sweden. Not like they're biased or anything. I do think they should win though. Not because their song is the best, but because they NEED to win. Their sole reason for existing is Eurovision. Everytime they don't win, it's like someone killed their puppy. :o

Crikey, I think that UK bookies would love to take and keep any bets on Engledink, too.

The dreadlocked howler's from Albania.

Actually, Humperdinck's getting on my nerves. He just refuses to say anything interesting when he's interviewed. I've never liked Jedward but at least they're enjoying themselves.

I missed that, but will join the Definitive Final Thread on Saturday.
Englebert Humperdink is an inspired act from the BBC.
The Eurovision has always been part comedy/part talent.
I guarantee the winner will be East European and will have a very successful career in East Europe.
And Englebert will just wander back to his Luxury lifestyle.

YANBU, they were brilliant (by their standards, obvs)

I love Jedward! YANBU.

As for our song it seems like your waiting forever for it to kick in....

I liked the way Jedward had four plainclothes backing singers behind them, doing the actual singing and also primed to dart forward and tell them to calm down if they got a bit G.I.D.D.Y.

Can anyone explain to me the purpose of the semi final and why we weren't in it? Didn't Jedward come higher than UK last year so why are they in the semi final and our entry gets to go in automatically. I don't understand!

I liked Greece

As for our song it seems like your waiting forever for it to kick in....

... and it doesn't. I'm still waiting :o
