Block voting is going on for awhile now and no matter what song is put forward for England and Ireland they have more chance of winning the lotto without buying a ticket so the two countrys should pull out now from the scam that it is now

That song is rubbish :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Is it me or does germany's song sound alot like Amy Winehouse - Valerie?

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

I dont listen to her so I wouldn't have a clue. It's a rubbish song.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Except that east European countries voting for their mates should also have prevented Germany from winning. But they just won.

The matey voting is always going to be a feature of the competition. It always has been, and not just from the east. The UK and Ireland have had more than their fair share of winners in the past, despite all that. I can't speak for Ireland (I missed their entry this year), but the reason we did so badly this year was that the song and the performer were both gash. Pure and simple.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

But back then europe was smaller, and the smaller eastern european countries were a part of a bigger country (Yugoslavia etc)

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Ireland won 7 times UK 5 times, thats quite alot.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Without clicking the link ... I'm going to hazard a guess that it's a song about a horse. :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Take a chance go on I dare you. You might surprise yourself :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

However did you guess that? :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Any bets on Monday Josh's single will be in the bargin basement :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Probably see it in poundland for 50p now.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

5op. They will be trying to give it away for nothing with the Irish one and bets will be placed to see which one is gone first :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Just caught up with the scores, how dissapointing is that 10 points LMAO http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...cons/lmao2.gif Eurovision song contest has been for quite a while a political pals voting forum, never the less even if the UK were boosom buddies with all of europe with a song like that we would still come last.

I wonder how Sir Webber is feeling this morning after all those nil points :D I dont thik he will be stepping up to the plate to write next years.

I wonder what the cost is to the license fee payer for this really crap, boring old pals program to be broadcast to the UK (including Nortons pay packet)

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

He didn't write this year's either!

This year's crappy entry was written by Pete Waterman, Mike Stock & Steve Crosby.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Ahhh for some reason I thought he wrote it :erm: I must have been having a moment :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Nah, he wrote last year's crappy UK entry.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Aye, but at least we got fifth last year and not dead last

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Amen to that.

Maybe next year we'll have a chance

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Hah, unlikely! :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Have a little faith Matt! have a little faith :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

As long as the block voting continues there wont be a hope in hell that England or Ireland will win the Eurovision. They could put in the best singer in the world and have the best song and it still wouldn't win.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Josh didn't even make it into the UK Top 40 Charts! not even the top 75!
FAIL.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

He should get into the Top 75 here tomorrow.:D

He signed already :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Not true. As Germany proved on Saturday night.

As I said earlier, I missed Ireland's song so I can't comment on it. But I know why the UK came bottom. It was because the song, and the performance of it, were utterly, utterly awful.

We were not the victims of block voting, we were the victims of a BBC production that, for some reason, really didn't seem to give two short smegs about Eurovision this year. The "Your Country Needs You" show that was screened earlier this year was absolutely abysmal, from the half dozen utter no-hoper acts that were booked, to the studio production itself: cheap, nasty and with a very obvious lack of rehearsal time. Even the silver-tongued Norton kept tripping over his lines and missing his cues.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

It wasn't a good song or performance... the winner was a bit crap too though... the vocals were a bit dodgy! :D

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

I think it's really disappointing. I think it's actually one of those really good things that unites the whole continent, which is actually quite rare as we all have very little to do with each other most of the time! The whole Eurovision organisation achieves that very well - the Song Contest being a small part of it.

I think the issue is that we, as a nation, are just too un-European to do well at it. All we need to do is enter one of our really good pop acts that are already known in Europe - Pixie Lott or one of the other female artists? - and we'd do really well.

The trouble is that, for the record companies, the risk of failure is too great.

The reason why Germany did well this year is that Lena's record company let her enter despite the risk of failure.

Germany's win is a nay-say to all those who say that block voting is the biggest problem in the contest. Don't get me wrong, I sighed when Cyprus gave Greece loads of points (although this is pretty understandable - he was singing in Greek), but the overall winner typically went well out in front of the rest.

England won't win the contest, it's the UK that enters. :rolleyes:

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

i see we came last
guess who refused to bail out Greece ,and the sinking ship that is the Euro

what a load of old politics this "competition" is :shocked:

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

Who asked us to bail out Greece? And who would care, apart from Greeks?!

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

We didn't win because of the bloody immigrants in this country taking our jobs, not blending in, building mosques on every corner, wearing burka's, stealing our cable blah blah blah. Actually where we went wrong is the performer wasn't an attractive, fit bird. If it had been, we might not have won but we certainly wouldn't have come last.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
 

What has that got to do with a competition where about two thirds of the finalists come from countries that don't even use the Euro? And most of them aren't even in the EU?
