Switzerland's "Salvation Army Band" (eldest member 94) did not make it, I Wonder why?

Because it kind of sucked?

Speaking of the Finnish lesbian kiss heard around the world, you know ya'll wanna see it (again?):

3:51

People are saying that Denmark will run away with it,but I think it'll be closer than most bookies are making out.There's a lot of good stuff this year.I think Holland will do well for a change.Russia and the Ukraine will come into the mix at some stage of the voting and throw a spanner in the works.Ireland for the dark horse

Yeah I don't think Denmark is as strong as Sweden was last year. Euphoria was unbeatable.

OK, I watched the Switzerland thing again. It really didn't suck. It was definitely finals worthy. Oh well.

OK. time to commit!

Pick your favorite country song, and also pick your prediction for which country song will actually win.

Up to you, but picking the UK just because you WANT them to win doesn't really count as favorite country song if it isn't really. (Same for prediction to win.)

Also no point in picking a favorite who didn't make it the finals.

Not gonna do a poll. Too many choices.

• Armenia
• 
  Azerbaijan
•

My picks:

Favorite Country Song: GREECE

Prediction to Win Country Song: NETHERLANDS

I think a woman will win it

I propose an AmericasVision for all the countries in the Americas! (Plus Israel. )

Speaking of which, I thought the sexy Librarian was good enough to make the finals. But no shock she didn't.

I'm pretty amazed at how few Americans follow Eurovision. Particularly the gays.

Hey, UK's Bonnie Tyler is pretty strong. Who knows?

If you saw the semi final audience shots it was like a gay bar in there, so funny. Annamatronic of Scissor Sisters was one of the UK show presenters and was really entertaining/camp.

Malta's song is cute of weird, shame Montenegro didn't get through but I rather like the French entry. Ireland way too cheesy I'm afraid.

Can you imagine an Asian version? Or is there? !

"Can you imagine an Asian version? Or is there? !"

I just posted my favorite bideo above.

Tho Thorry no one like it.

Wait. Athians don't Lithp.

No Asian one.

Eurovision is it, I think.

In an AmericasVision most likely almost all the countries would sing in Spanish, including Canada!

Here we go! Ma fave pour le hors d'houvre.

LIVE GRAND FINAL streaming right now.

Spain (5) just finished.

I got it on in the background. Nothing has stood out yet....just the usual dross.

Denmark could be onto a winner.

What was that from Hungary? Shoreditch has got talent.

America is in it to win it!

(For Ukraine)

I got it on in the background. Nothing has stood out yet....just the usual dross.

Better dross overall than the last few years! Long Live Eurovision!

Can I interest you in Romanian Ladyboy Dracula?

I say Denmark!

I cancel my prediction for Netherlands.

Change to GREECE to win.

I say Denmark!

Freaking Anticlimax!

I demand a recount!

Scandinavian "Mafia" indeed!

Eurovision, Schmeurovision ...

(Could be butterfly withdrawal?)

I loved the show whatever the outcome. Lots of humour and tongues in cheeks. I'd love to see Asian version..... my vote goes to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZbU4Cieg5k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The Swedes really put on a great show this year coupled with the better talent as well. Loved that Swedish Smorgasbord musical extravaganza they did. It really reminded me of Beach Blanket Babylon. (But for Sweden, not San Francisco.)
