We WILL win the Eurovision this year - Engelbert Humperdinck will see to that

[editor]

Humperdinck was shitadinck, no?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

It's quite odd to think that in tech circles working on Eurovision might be considered quite credible.

Way beyond merely credible, it's quite possibly the most advanced show of it's type on the planet.

To give you an idea - last years show had something like two thirds that exists in the entire world of the a particular type of video wall in the arena. The rig for the show takes over a month. Compare this to the biggest stadium rock show you've ever seen. That got rigged in, at most, two days.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh Albania, how I love thee

 

[sleaterkinney]

It's a really impressive stage and show

 

[twentythreedom]

who's voting? oooh decisions!!

 

[madzone]

I just voted for Russia

 

[twentythreedom]

I voted grannies and cake. Rude not to tbh

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Humperdinck was shitadinck, no?

Nah he was alright actually . Professional and sang it well. It'll never win but it was better than a lot of recent entries

 

[madzone]

I voted grannies and cake. Rude not to tbh

Hurrah!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Sweden, Ukraine and Malta for me!

Muchos respect then Still love the idea of hardened techies watching it all. Hope they're discussing their favourites and having massive arguments about it

 

[madzone]

Sweden, Ukraine and Malta for me!

you're dead to me.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh yeah, Sweden! Liked her too, she was fun.

I have a very obvious softspot for batshit women

 

[FiFi]

Humperdinck was shitadinck, no?

Not a winner, but not too bad.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

you're dead to me.

 

[fat Andy]

who's voting? oooh decisions!!

My daughter just voted for Jedward...............twice.

Should they win, I will of course leave these forums until forgiven

 

[rekil]

Italy, Greece, Sweden, Russia, Ireland (!)

In no particular order.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Top 5
Ukraine
Greece
sweden
Malta
Russia

I shall give my phone vote to Greece in the hope that my call may bring about the collapse of the international monetary system if they win.

 

[Epona]

Voted for Turkey, that performance had everything. I'm not sure I'd "get on his ship and sail it" or whatever the lyric was, but it was just utterly superb

 

[Lord Camomile]

Sweden, Ukraine and Malta for me!

Malta weren't too bad, but I'd definitely concur with Sweden and Ukraine.

 

[Lord Camomile]

My daughter just voted for Jedward...............twice.

I'm wondering if your daughter is similarly politically inclined...?

I shall give my phone vote to Greece in the hope that my call may bring about the collapse of the international monetary system if they win.

If so I think u75 may well support her actions.

Well, except for all the Irish, but, y'know, gotta be some sacrifices in the eternal struggle

Nah, we all just moan that we'd have done it differently/better

 

[Nine Bob Note]

The swedish entry is always greatly overhyped, and goes on to perform mediocrely. The Italian entry was the best - I've no money on her, but it desperves to win. The Russian grannies are a novelty act, and we love novelty acts, but I remember the eastern European audience booing the Latvian Pirates a few years back.

 

[Voley]

I like those two presenters. Addressing all of Europe like they're two year olds is a winning approach.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I hate to say it but Humperdink really was struggling with that song, just didn't have the lungs

Oh God, I hope he hasn't got some kind of lung-related illness that I'm ignorant of

 

[fat Andy]

I would actually buy the Albanian song. It probably a bit too weird for the mainstream though

 

[Big Gunz]

Italy wasn't bad and I like Iceland. Greece and Cyprus strangely compelling.

 

[quimcunx]

Do you think Russia chose them because they want to win or because they don't want to win and it's backfired massively?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well I haven't been following anything before the show, and I thought it was jolly good fun.

I haven't voted though, so not sure how much help this is to her.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I would genuinely record it on Audacity.

Again, not sure I'm helping.
