Finnaldo Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Really surprised Russia got this many this year, due to the circumstances! The moral of the story is that Europe are ungrateful bastards, and we should threaten countries with annexation we'll get fook all. Lets hope Scotland get independence. Then when we threaten them with violence we can get Europe on side.
Finnaldo Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Thought it was decent this year. Actually thought it was a bit less political than normal. This. Less political, more punani.
DennisNedry Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Iceland were fun. Finland were good. Switzerland were OK. Poland was a decent eyeful. The bearded lady was shit - sympathy votes from everywhere. Not as good as the winner Teardrops last year - the young Danish girl was bang tidy imo.

What I couldn't get was every time Russia's name got mentioned there was a huge chorus of boo's, but despite this somebody was still voting for them!? Simply confusing!
Webbo Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 A lot of ethnic Russians were settled in the former Soviet Republics during the cold war, it's obviously those voting for Russia.

Simply confusing!I'm not entirely sure that a couple of thousand people in a room in Denmark is representative of numerous former Soviet states or countries in Europe that rely on their gas
DennisNedry Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I didn't really understand the point of booing Russia. I'm sure Putin was sobbing into a handkerchief back in Moscow. All it achieved was upsetting a pair of 17 year olds.

Saxondale Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 I had a fiver on Sweden. I was hoping some of the less developed countries would have an old-skool homophobic attitude to the Austrian act.
The Doctor Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 Poland won the UK tele vote but came last in the jury http://www.eurovision.tv/page/results?event=1893&voter=GB Let's be honest though, that came from boobs and polish expats, rather than any actual quality (which is what the judges are supposed to work off)
AlphaMaleFox Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Let's be honest though, that came from boobs and polish expats, rather than any actual quality (which is what the judges are supposed to work off) There was some music contest Who gives a f^>k about?! I just wanted to see them one more time...
Finnegan Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Transvestite guy wins gay pop song contest shocker. If pop music was the home of hot blooded heterosexualism then Poland would have walked it. Never understood why people give a toss who wins Eurovision. Every year there's a handful of excuses why we don't win, apparently nobody can admit our entries are just always dreadful.
RowlattsFox Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 Had a click look at that voting results page and Poland could well have won if they didn't change the rules.
Buzzell Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 There was some music contest Who gives a f^>k about?! I just wanted to see them one more time... Hubba hubba.
Merging Cultures Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 I just don't get the whole wanting to be a different gender but then still look like the previous gender. Or perhaps he hasn't really decided yet? Same with my Aunty who dates other women, who all are butch and could be men. Why not just date men? I couldn't listen to the Eurovision song because the singer just put me off. I'm very open, I just don't get it.
BoneDog Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 I didn't watch it, but in the pub earlier people were calling the bearded fella 'she'. I said "what you calling it 'she' for? Here's a hint - it's got a beard". Then they said "what are you calling her 'it' for?", and I said "because it says it's gender neutral so I'll respect it's views and won't call it her or him." Gender neutral my arse - you're a flippin bloke mate. Europe is turning into a cesspit.

His stage act is a woman, therefore is a she only when he's performing and known as "Conchita Wurst", translated to Pussy Sausage
Finnegan Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 Why is everyone getting so dramatic? We've had drag acts for years. It's only like us entering Lilly Savage. Or any pantomime dame. It's not a transgender she, is it? It's a he dressed as a she.
ozleicester Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 :nuge: :lloydy: This should be our next entry to the Eurovision.

It's not a transgender she, is it? It's a he dressed as a she. He's not transgender, he's a man dressed as a woman, but with a beard, you google Conchita Wurst and go to Wiki the picture of him doesn't even have a beard, it is just a man doing an act, he isn't confused sexually or genetically, he just puts on a show. I don't get all the "sympathy votes" comments, I think some people think she is genuinely a hirsute woman who can't control her facial hair, and we should be sympathetic.

It is just a drag act then. I guess it's the beard that makes it look stranger. He has people talking about him now, so it's worked. He will be forgotten quickly though like so many Eurovision singers.
Guest MattP Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 It's a freak show anyway, who seriously watches something like this on a Saturday night?
leicsmac Posted 12 May 2014 Posted 12 May 2014 It's a freak show anyway, who seriously watches something like this on a Saturday night? I agree, I think the X-Factor (in particular the audition parts which are just the Victorian point-and-laugh freak show for the modern era) is more than enough freak show for Saturdays as it is. In all seriousness, the light entertainment TV industry is crap and has been for some time. At least Eurovision has no pretense of seriousness (in this country, anyway).
