Accounting Troll Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 And what was your favourite part? Were there any songs that you liked in particular? I particularly love the absurdly political voting. The countries of the former Yugoslavia were trying to pretend it was a coincidence that they were voting for each other. And Andorra gave Spain 12 points right after Terry Wogan said they would do that. I mean, it isn't as if anybody else was giving Spain anything. Cyprus and Greece giving each other 12 points has become a traditional part of the contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yeah, the voting is corrupt. But it's the same all over. The Scandinavian countries always vote on each other as well. Anyway, for the first time in years I watched the contest, because for once I was proud off the Norwegian contribution! (and not getting drunk ) I also thought the Moldova one was amusing. Rest was junk as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accounting Troll Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 The woman who announced the British votes looked pretty sloshed as well. Mind you, she was still more professional than those two dreadful presenters. I'm not surprised our entry didn't do too well. She tried to combine modern pop with a dash of the East, but a dozen other entries had done the same thing, so she didn't really stand out. I was pleased the Latvians did quite well, and not just because of the Baltic Bloc - their entry was sufficiently different to stand out. I'm not expecting the UK to improve much in the next few years. Eveyone knows how absurd the voting is, and most of us only watch the contest for Terry Wogan's comments. This means that it is only up and coming singers who enter for the publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
