So - circular pianos, trampolines, twins, giant hamster wheels and bearded women. Good to see it's all about the music and not cheap gimmicks!

Does the fact that a drag queen won annoy you? Would you have been as bothered if it was a real woman?Going Underground wrote:She my arse, it's a freak of a bloke in a dress that performed a very average song

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2014
If a real woman had sang it then it wouldn't have won... The songs in 2nd and 3rd IMO were much better. And why keep saying "she" when the person is a hetubeguru wrote:Does the fact that a drag queen won annoy you?

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2014
Because when drag queens are in drag they usually prefer to be referred to by female pronouns. His/her Wikipedia page mentions this. It's a common enough thing with drag queens.Going Underground wrote:If a real woman had sang it then it wouldn't have won... The songs in 2nd and 3rd IMO were much better.

I think it's time to dispense with the jury panels and just make it a public vote.

In that case Austria would still have won by a bigger margin.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2014
The jury system exists clearly to stop the public simply voting for novelty acts, and to retain a modicum of musical judging. This was proved this year in the case of Poland. The British public voted Poland its top choice, but the jury panel (comprised of music industry "experts") voted Poland last, thus thwarting the the "vote for breasts" movement!nozzacook wrote:I think it's time to dispense with the jury panels and just make it a public vote.

Without the jury, and with phone voting ONLY, our top three would have been:
Poland - 12
Netherlands - 10
Austria - 8
instead of:
Austria - 12
Malta - 10
Netherlands - 8
