Jingthing Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Oh gosh. I'm so excited that I messed up the headline. Anyway ... it's coming and it's coming soon. http://eurovisionworld.com/?eurovision=songs_videos Time to preview the songs and talk about your favorites. Mods -- move to gay forum if you think that's where Eurovision belongs. Ha ha. Edited May 8, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarloKnight Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I love it! People in the UK have Eurovision parties now! I love the commentary that a Graham Norton does is very comical how he takes the "urine" out of it, also love to predict the political voting.

Jingthing Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Which are the favorites this year? I just tuned in. Don't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) OK, it's happening SOON. Just started sampling the videos. I'm starting at the the top odds ones. So far, it seems like a better than average Eurovision year: http://eurovisionworld.com/?odds=eurovision_2015 Have to admit I don't get how this song has good odds: I always have toI always have to cleanI always have to do the dishesI always have to workI always have to go to the doctorI am not allowed to go to the computerI am not allowed to watch televisionI am not allowed to see my friendsI always have to be at homeI always have to do choresI always have to eat wellI always have to drink wellI can't eat candy, drink soda,I can't even drink alcoholI always have to restI always have to sleepI always have to wake upI always have to shower Edited May 18, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) OK. Seminfinal 1 is happening 19 hours from now. I sampled most of the songs and my impression has changed. Overall it seems just an average year or worse. As far as the songs that clicked with me, on first hearing, there weren't many. In fact in a number of cases just stopped midstream ... too boring. First impression favorites: Italy - Il Volo - Grande Amore (in Italian), this one could win https://youtu.be/w1f6o1HQBvg Estonia - Elina Born and Stig - Goodbye to Yesterday (in English) https://youtu.be/oJRCCn_ro9k Israel - Nadav Guedj - Golden Boy (in English) rehearsal https://youtu.be/QGhBpM7BWY8 Oh, and welcome AUSTRALIA to Eurovision. Yippee! Guy Sebastian - "Tonight Again" https://youtu.be/yZ2GJ788VwA So if Australia wins does that really mean next year's contest would be in Australia? Of course haven't seen the full staged performances yet. Your own favorites? Edited May 18, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 What is wrong with y'all? Where is the Eurovision-mania on Thaivisa? Anyway, I did find out that if Australia wins they won't be allowed to host and in that case the U.K. could host instead. Two more with good odds of winning: Sweden, music video version https://youtu.be/AoO1V_eOEPA Russia, music video version https://youtu.be/jBVY7Glcd84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss1960 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 seems you are entertaining yourself on this thread... and given how others normally jump the bandwagon on threads in "The Pub", it should give you few hints about the importance of this song screaming contest horror show to the rest of the TVF community... would have to be paid A LOT to just consider watching this show... and am pissed that I have to pay for that BS program with my taxes for the Swiss television station...

Jingthing Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Semifinal 1: Who got through ? These 10 got through: http://eurovisionworld.com/?esc=semi-final_1_the_10_songs_qualified_for_the_grand_final The happy 10 qualified for the Grand Final on Saturday: Armenia, Belgium, Greece, Estonia, Serbia, Hungary, Russia, Albania, Romania, Georgia Finland, the one with the decent odds that I didn't understand they had (novelty act) did NOT get through. It turns out the Estonia song is the most STICKY in my brain, so I'm happy they got through to the final but it doesn't seem the type of song that would win. https://youtu.be/oJRCCn_ro9k I reckon Russia is a serious player, very Eurovision winner sounding type song, will get lots of political votes, and one of the countries that would really like to HOST it next time.

I guess he got through because the Australian selection process picked him and his song. Still time to move to the gay forum, you think? The 2nd semifinal is 21 May 21:00 Eurocamp time. The FINAL 23 May 21:00 is Eurocamp time. Edited May 20, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw shucks, how badly are you gonna miss that one small fraction of one Swiss Franc this cost you? Are you so mean spirited that you'd begrudge your camp loving countrymen a little singing circus with their bread and cheese? Sure the thread is looking like a dud, but who knows, we're heading towards the finals, it could heat up. Edited May 20, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarloKnight Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just listened to the Australia song and I like it!! Just listened to the Polish one due to the young girl I work with in the office is Polish and quite like it but they hardly ever get to the finals.

Just listened to the Polish one due to the young girl I work with in the office is Polish and quite like it but they hardly ever get to the finals. Don't like the UK entry, we always let ourselves down I agree the Aussie one is good and the UK one not so good (has no chance). I think I may not have even heard the Polish one yet. Aha, now I have. Not too shabby. https://youtu.be/4fjWLzeQ9K8 I see they went the with the theme .... Building Bridges. Wouldn't bet on it. Politically, Australia has some zing because it's their first time (what a great welcome) and if they win next year may be hosted in the UK ... so UK song being weak some votes for a UK host might go to Australia. More political dish ... heard some info that if the Israel song doesn't make the finals (it's coming up in Semifinal 2) then Israel won't be entering the contest anymore. I guess the feeling is that this year's song is strong (I totally agree) and there is no point in entering when you have a strong song (in what seems to me overall a weak year) and can't make the finals. We'll see. I will be very surprised if that song doesn't make the finals. It's a lot of fun. Edited May 20, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarloKnight Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Will be interesting to see who goes through on next set of semi finals..... I actually don't mind Russia's entry this yeat, think I will go to bookies and put a bet on Australia to win with it being their first time. You can never tell who will win due to politics sometimes the voting is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Of course it's not a pure talent contest. Always the political factor and also the formula winner factor. I don't see one super strong act as in some years. Sent from my Lenovo S820_ROW using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarloKnight Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 My earliest memory of the Eurovision was watching Bucks Fizz win in the eighties, I remember I was sleeping at my nans and stayed up late to see the results. Who as been your favourite winner Jingthing? Think mine is Jonny Logan "hold me now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I only discovered Eurovision in recent years living in Thailand. I had never heard of it growing it. Since then I have watched a lot of historical stuff and I can't really say I have one favorite winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) OK, Sweden is favored to win. I can see why. Sounds like a formula Eurovision winner song. Maybe there is a computer program that spits them out in Sweden. I really don't like it though. Belgium, also in the running somewhat.

Aforek Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 many years ago eurovision was good to look at because every country sang in their own language and there are many languages in europe now almost every country sings in english which is very bad for the cultural richess my country france at least until these last years sings always in french they are always among the last but i am proud they did nt become eurovision prostitutes in singing in english the multi language europe has lost much of his richess with this bastard eurovision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
