123Imirish Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 My fellow Europeans, it's that time of year again. Get ready to see earplug sales skyrocket. Watching the semi finals as we speak. Another year to question why the hell do I watch this crap. Have to watch it because my realitive is friends with Ireland's applicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batsphinx Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'd love to know what non-British and Non-Irish people make of Eurovision. Does it get the same kitsch love with you guys, or does anyone's nation actually take it seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aricane Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Indeed. It's a fever in Scandinavia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually know the Lordi's drummer who quit the band some time after the Eurovision win. He's probably the only one who I personally have heard say something good about the Eurovisions in Finland, but somehow I feel he has a slight bias.

Ridickulo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 In Portugal it was absurdly popular in the 80's. Nowadays people don't even know it is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123Imirish Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'd love to know what non-British and Non-Irish people make of Eurovision. Does it get the same kitsch love with you guys, or does anyone's nation actually take it seriously?It's all political anyway. The ones the public vote only represent 50% of the vote. For instance Ireland and England normally give each other 4 or eight points. Scandinavian countries all vote for each other. Austria and Germany and the Swiss. It's all to strengthen ties between two countries Ireland didn't get through today. We have won it seven times, more than any other country, now I'm pissed. We have won it so much in our last presidential election a former Eurovision Winner ran for presidency, oh Dana you do realize nobody voted for you.

Kitt Frostpaws Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It's happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connall Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I never know when it's happening, I only hear about it when it's about/started happening. I just find Eurovision such an odd affair, that I just don't bother watching it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdr.Keen Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 And the winner is ... Austria! Is this the response to a great song or is something bigger behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aricane Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Well. I don't know who voted. I don't think it was the best song, so I'm guessing somebody felt an urge to show that EU is open and tolerant while others are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we have a 'Turkey' up for Eurovision last time? The only reason we stopped bothering anymore is because Ireland couldn't afford to host it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
