Eurovision is not, and never has been, about good music. I think once you understand that, you will enjoy it a lot more.
Also, remember that the entries do not reflect their countries' taste in music - I'm sure most Greeks realize their song is utter wank, in just the same way that most Brits would accept that we haven't had a good entry since... Gina G?
Having said that, it would be a crime if Jedward were to win - there are no words to describe how much I hate those fucking retards.
In sweden 2010 a purely amazing song and artist came in second place and so didn't get to represent sweden in the eurovision song contest that year. The song was Salem al Fakir's 'Keep on walking'(you should listen to it), and it was a real shame that it didn't win here in Sweden. Goes to show that there actually is very good music that could be seen in the eurovision song contest.
well the important part is that its in my home town. also greek was utter crap. damn i hate greek. to be honest i hate EVERYONE who won but finland.
turkey rocked and i like that red haired lady who sounded like as if she was singing a james bond theme.
I only saw a few of the entrants (watching something else on a different channel), but none of the songs I heard were good, with the exception of Azerbaijan's, which I thought was okay, relatively speaking. And they have a nice looking girl, as we've come to expect from them (Armenia usually do too - I haven't seen their entry yet).
The Turkish song was crap. There's one like that every year (usually from Scandinavia though) - kind of like a rock song, but after you've taken away everything that's good about rock music, in order to make it bland enough to be acceptable in Eurovision. Like if Kurt from Glee were to do Metallica.
Switzerland's song had some potential, but the girl couldn't sing for toffee.
The Irish one, which you may not have seen yet - well, if you thought Greece's song was bad, just wait til you hear this...
The British entrants, I almost feel bad for them. They used to be a really successful group here, and now they've sunken this low. And believe it or not, Simon Webbe is actually a pretty good singer too...
Blue stand a better chance than last year's UK entry. I pray something better than last year's winner wins this year. German girl trying to emulate Lily Allen-esque singing, and pronouncing it "larve" instead of love, then acted like a complete muppet when she won.
A close family friend recently got hold of front row tickets due to a cancellation, which was pretty lucky.

Still, nothing will ever beat Ukraine 2007.
Also, Sweden's entry is horrible.
fun fact: i agree with adam
luckily not by 100%. the Ukraine song is just epic and i still haven't forgotten about it. i dont see anything wrong with lena. i really liked her song and everything about her but so did everyone last year.
i just have to admit i think the semi finals were awful and only really really terrible bands won. seriously greece sucked so badly. i cant even believe it.
i think the finnish guy might have a good chance because he is doing the opposite of what people are doing. everyone is trying to go for a big show but him so i think thats a plus.
lena was fresh and a surprise last year but this year i rank her 6 or 7.
also i think portugal was trolling.
also i think there is something annoying about the french. note: for the contest they speak english AND french. why not english only?
its because the french are language nazis and hate english so they are like "oh sack re blue we dont want to hear english- merde. we only accept french" and those cocks get away with it. if that wasnt mean enough everyone is singing in english nowadays (pretty much everyone at least) but the french are like NO our artist(s) are allowed to sing in FRENCH ONLY. seriously what a fucking bunch of language fascists. it pisses me off
