"The winner was quite expected. Definitely better than Italy or Sweden who finished 2nd and 3rd"
What? Azerbaijan's song was one of the most boring and forgettable in the entire contest. There were songs in the semi finals that didn't get through that were better.
Austria and Moldova were my favourites and they came no where near the top. Some Eastern European countries are so far behind its ridiculous, and it's insulting that crap like Sweden and Italy came so near the top.
Also, why are so many of the European presenters the same? Every year they act the same, have the same little comedy routines and act a little crazy trying to be entertaining.
I think the voting should change to purely a panel of judges, two from each country and they can't vote for their own. Then if it's blatantly political like most years we know who to blame.
I really can not be bothered with the eurovision song contest. I think it should be banned along with Cliff Richards and numerous other things, for the good of mankind
you should note that the results in the SEMI FINALS were in random order so greece being at number 1 didn't mean anything at all.
also "The winner was quite expected." is something I totally disagree with. Seriously I couldn't disagree with anything more than this. There were a bunch of interesting and good artist so Arzarbyjan was something you seriously saw coming...seriously? pppf
also did i already say the song was shit?

seriously i dont even remember ARSABUYYARN's song anymore. first of all it sounded like a rip off of some popular song i dont even remember which is also like "we are running" something. i dont remember it but it sucks too. so it sounds like some rip off and then you get those AAAAOOO AAAAOOO in the background- fuck the song is annoying, boring and just plain shit.
bunch of bands in the semis that were better that got kicked out.
and i think A LOT of people were surprised they won. i am a bit sick of people like: OH I SAW THAT COMING AFTER the show. like if you SEE shit coming say it BEFORE everyone knows so we can actually believe you but claiming shit after it already happened...pppft
Actually, MJK is right - the winner was quite expected.
If you look at the betting odds, Azerbaijan were third favourites, behind France and Ireland.
And I personally said:
"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."
As for it not being memorable, there are only two songs I can still remember - Belarus (I love Belarus!) and Denmark (Come on boys, come on girls, something something craissy craissy world).
I remember the silly Moldovan hats, but the song was not memorable, except for being shit.

Seriously, get over yourself . You said Azerbaijan were good and you were right because they won? The competition is ridiculously political, it doesnt mean you have good taste... if anything it's completely the opposite Denmark's tune is actually stolen from another song and there has been controversy over it.
Moldova's entry was awesome. Strangely had a Cirque Du Soleil feel to it.
Oh, and Belarus.. another act with a woman who couldn't sing, much like Azerbaijan's.
You get over your self - I wasn't even talking to you.
My comments were directed at MasterM, who had said: "and i think A LOT of people were surprised they won. i am a bit sick of people like: OH I SAW THAT COMING AFTER the show. like if you SEE shit coming say it BEFORE everyone knows so we can actually believe you but claiming shit after it already happened...pppft"
I was just saying that I wasn't surprised Azerbaijan won, and backing it up by showing what I had written beforehand - not trying to boast about being right, or prove I have good taste.
And I never said Denmark's tune was good - I just said it was memorable. Moldova's entry was shit. Cirque du Soleil are also shit.
not aimed towards you sketchy. im just annoyed by all those farts on tv right now who knew they would win. in fact im annoyed by farts who always claim they saw it coming and knew it would happen AFTER it already happened. those guys are jerks but yeh you have made your point and i saw what you wrote there so yeh not aimed at you, seriously- no sarcasm hidden here.
but seriously I think the show was very good. let's forget that we dislike band x for a moment and just look at the show. i think düsseldorf did an awesome job and I don't see how Arseyairbuyyan could possibly beat that.
It was okay - definitely nothing special, though.
They very much kept to the usual format, with cheesy comperes, a big-screen backdrop, and a few pyrotechnics.
The interval act was poor - just some random German singer, instead of the big spectacle that we'd normally expect to see.
The highlight for me, was the little video intros for each country - the exaggerated depth-of-field effect that somehow made real towns look like little toy villages, was awesome.
No reason at all to think Azerbaijan won't put on as good a show, if not better. They're not one of those war-torn little countries that won't even exist in a year's time, and they're not crippled by debt like most of Europe (now that I think about it, that probably explains why Greece entered such a shit song - they can't afford to host the competition next year).
To be honest though, Eurovision hasn't been the same since Terry Wogan stopped doing the UK tv coverage (in protest at all the Eastern-European countries voting for each other).
i believe ive read it was the most expensive eurovision show they ever did and i think you could tell. the whole stage and everything was build very well, had a cool look and design and the shit that was going on on the big screens is nothing they had going on in the past years. i think the rocking remake of satellite was pretty kick ass too.
while people liked the interval act i have to agree on this one. the guy is a jerk and even tough he is german i cant understand A SINGLE word of what he says- no joke. i seriously don't understand this guy.
i liked the little videos of different german places but what bothered me is that like 80% was berlin. germany got more places than just berlin.
Azerbaijan got some uptight gay hating muslime regime. thank you very much.
"To be honest though, Eurovision hasn't been the same since Terry Wogan stopped doing the UK tv coverage" yeh thats what all people say. that might be the case. as a non brit i cant relate and i only know wogan from pictures so i wouldnt know whats so special about him. good he also dislikes the fact all the former commi countries are supporting each other but then you should note so does Scandinavia. so does everyone, really. STILL different countries win each year so it must work somehow.
Actually I have to agree with MasterM about the presentation, Germany did a very good job. The stage was pretty awesome and the opening rendition of Lena's Satalite was an excellent opening to the show. Better than the original version.
Oh, and Neil Young uses autotune more than CHER lololol
