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

[wtfftw]

If we don't win soon I'm going to have to incorporate eurovision into a holiday.

I loved Engelbert when I was two and 45 yrs later I still love him

Urban Eurovision meet

Aren't we already paying for it?
They said at the start we got automatic entry as we're one the countries paying the most financially towards it.

I did some research into how I am related to Engelbert. The precise term is 'first cousins twice removed'. I have illustrated this in an abstract of our family tree:



(I wondered if this would make me easy to 'trace' but then I realised that four generations of Catholic families genetically predisposed to mulitple births doesn't narrow it down much)

In December 2011, it was announced that Poland would not compete at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku. The Polish broadcaster stated that having to organize the European Football Championship 2012 (hosted by Poland and Ukraine) was a major factor in their withdrawal.[2] TVP informed esctoday.com that their decision to abstain does not hamper their chances of being back in 2013, thus leaving the door open for a return.

makes no sense - so what about the football? unless the entry was sung by the someone also organising the football ...

That's bizarre? Can Polish TV only concentrate on one major event at a time

 

[ska invita]

Shake your booty up, and got no farting!

...in a brief moment of political reality, opposition activists demonstrated today against the regime outside the Azeri Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, the host broadcaster for the Eurovision Song Contest. As they demanded the release of political prisoners, their protest was quickly disrupted by police who bundled some 35 campaigners into vans and buses.

The host country’s ruling mafia has sought desperately to repress controversy. And the BBC’s choice of safe-as-houses old favourite Engelbert Humperdinck as the British entry seemed to bolster the non-controversial atmosphere. But a number of incidents have reflected political tensions around the world:

Spain’s entry Pastora Soler was asked to throw her performance because if she won Spain would have to host next year’s edition. She has told Spanish radio that: “I think it is not the moment, neither for Spain nor for the Spanish public to win Eurovision. If we won, I think it would be impossible to stage the next edition because it costs so much money.”

Ukraine’s entry Gaitana was attacked as not representing her country. Gaitana has a Congolese father and Ukrainian mother. Freedom Party leader Yuri Syrotyuk made the racist comment that “the vision of Ukraine as a country located somewhere in remote Africa will take root.” The singer, who sees herself as a product of the fusion of two cultures, said: “I'm so ashamed of this unpleasant incident, because Ukraine is a democratic country, where kind and hospitable people live.”

Armenia, considered the host nation’s arch-enemy, is not competing because it fears for the safety of its contestants. The Armenian Eurovision act was censored on Azeri television last time around. Any Azerbaijani citizen who voted for them found that their mobile numbers became part of a criminal investigation as they were hauled in for questioning by Interior Ministry police.
