Eurovision Song Contest 2012

My predicted qualifiers are....

Semi 1 - Iceland, Greece, Albania, Romania, Switzerland, Israel, Cyprus, Denmark, Russia, Moldova.

You got eight right by my reckoning. Switzerland and Israel were wrong here.

That was pre-performance... if you read my post after watching the first semi I ditched Israel & Switzerland in favour of Ireland & Austria.
Surely I'm allowed to do that????

I'm REALLY annoyed Switzerland and Israel didn't make it.

Finland. No. Finnish, okay. Swedish, though...

What's this language discrimination? You know that Swedish is an official language of Finland, don't you? Don't get me wrong, I think Finnish is a much nicer-sounding language (as well as one I can actually understand), but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. I thought it was a good song, perhaps not the best of the night, but better than many that did get through. Like Ireland.

Ah, I missed that one. You're still rubbish. I expect better from a seasoned Eurovision aficionado. You have a chance to redeem yourself tomorrow night.

I quite like Albania's song, even though it won't win. But it should, just because it's weird.

Romania have said in an interview that their earpiece went faulty. The last time it happened was in 2003 (United Kingdom) and we got nul points...

I think you'll find that it was our song that was faulty.

It won a public vote!

It won a public vote!

Ironically, since then, the UK seems to take it more seriously.

That's my second favourite song EVER! Don't rub the Gem of Jemini!

I remember John Major's Conservative government winning a public vote, and look how that turned out ...

What, great? Managing a boom properly?

Gentlemen, you can't talk politics, this tread is about Eurovision. Oh, wait Eurovision is full of politics!

Carry on!

I'm trying to put it in a way he would understand it.

The song was great.
