Back in the day we used to get really stoned and watch Eurovision with the sound off. Magic! So funny. I can't imagine what a letdown it would be to actually hear the music.
Australia are an 'associate member' of the EBU. That doesn't give automatic rights to be in the Eurovision, but IIRC they applied to be in it just for one year at first, and then I guess it was really popular down there so they've stayed in it, but not sure if they have to apply every year or what.I have no idea what Australia are doing there and if they're in the EBU as well.
Well I better edit my preview thenJoost has been oosted.
Joost Klein: Dutch contestant disqualified from Eurovision Song Contest
The singer, Joost Klein, had been among the favourites to win the contest in Malmö, Sweden.www.bbc.co.uk
Very goodEurofracas, eurofracas
Perhaps people are able to differentiate between a singer and a government?Why on earth are Israel among the favourites? The controversy factor? I'd have thought the dull Serb entry would be the favourite.
As I said, I've just heard the song. There was a huge amount of applause in the arena from the audience.It's not even that good or interesting though, we're not talking Toy or Diva.
And this IS Eurovision we're talking about. Remember when we got zero points in 2003 because of the Iraq war? I mean, Jemini sucked arse but I doubt that was the only reason.
It's not going to come lowest.I chose Netherlands.
I wish you luck with your choice as you are going to need itEvery year we pick a song, buy a curry and the song that comes lowest pays for the curry.
Mrs V is currently 2 nil up as she chooses wisely, whereas I tend to vote for something bonkers that I genuinely quite like.
She's gone for We Will Rave this year.
I chose Netherlands.
We, somehow, always have a Rustlers burger on the night of the final, fuck knows how and why this started but it did and that's that.Every year we pick a song, buy a curry and the song that comes lowest pays for the curry.

However, I've been gardening today and even cleaned up the BBQ drum, bought some burgers and all dem tings needed for burgers so the Rustlers curse shall be broken.
