I liked Estonia and Denmark Smile

ClaraOswald · 14/05/2013 21:23

Croatia is the only "different" act that catches me.

Not quite the grannies, but what can you do?

LineRunner · 14/05/2013 21:25

I still like that bloke who sang My Runaway Bride 13 years ago. Has it won yet?

Yama · 14/05/2013 21:26

My top three:

Ireland
Cyprus
Moldova

Yama · 14/05/2013 21:26

Yay - Bonnie!

LineRunner · 14/05/2013 21:37

Resulty thing now?

ClaraOswald · 14/05/2013 21:51

I'm listening to some previous years entries.

Fly on the wings of love from Denmark 2000? Anyone remember it?

LineRunner · 14/05/2013 21:52

That was the same year as Runaway Bride!

ClaraOswald · 14/05/2013 21:53

I can't see that song in the playlist? Who sang it?

Yama · 14/05/2013 21:57

Gutted Cyrpus didn't make it.

LineRunner · 14/05/2013 21:59

Clara, It was Latvia. I think it was properly called 'My Dream' maybe.

ClaraOswald · 14/05/2013 22:07

ah, thanks LineRunner

LineRunner · 14/05/2013 22:10

Have you found it? I love it.

Raahh · 14/05/2013 22:59

I missed the second hour of this- so need to watch it tomorrow to see if any of the acts that followed were as bizarre as the Spacemen. And the Moldovan woman with the hair. But that's because I loved their bonkers entry last year- the one about the trumpetGrin

NotTreadingGrapes · 15/05/2013 05:59

Had to go to bed before results....

Moldova still has yet to beat the granny in the rocking chair from about 5 years ago. That will never be surpassed in sheer Eurovision Eurovision-ness.

NotTreadingGrapes · 15/05/2013 06:00

Cyprus woman sounded really off key to me, but I liked it because I like the songs better when they are in Foreign.

But who will Greece vote for now? Might Bonnie get a vote?

LineRunner · 15/05/2013 14:04

I haven't really taken to Bonnie's song yet.

NotTreadingGrapes · 15/05/2013 14:06

I haven't even heard it! But I had a Bonnie hairdo in 1986.

LineRunner · 15/05/2013 14:16

I was still trying to perfect a Siouxsie Sioux.

NotTreadingGrapes · 15/05/2013 14:24

I did a natty double denim look as well.

See! I am a human Eurovision song contest. Just need to knock a few teeth out and I'm there.

LineRunner · 15/05/2013 20:07

My favourite Eurovison look is still Abba's, especially Agnetha's little cap.

Also do you remember Clodagh Rogers? I was a teeny tiny kid but I remember my older sister going on about the sparkly hotpants.

Oh yes: pink sparkly hotpants.

According to the betting you've already seen the winner - Denmark are already odds on and getting shorter by the day. Second favourites are Norway who will doubtless get shorter once they qualify tomorrow night.

Am so glad I found this thread - was starting to feel like the only person (other than DH & DC) who gives a shiny shite Smile

Dh went out shopping last night for our Eurovision party food - he's doing swedish meatballs, Cypriot Haloumi skewers, Italian pizza, Greek Salad, German Black Forest Cake, and Belgian Chocs to nibble - and wine from as many European countries as he can find Grin

My job is to make the Union Jack bunting Smile
