[Native Son]

I quite like this

I quite think you would. (You can't win them all.)

Re: Concita Wurst from Austria in 2014 Eurovision Song Contest

It's going to be an awesome year. Can't wait!

Looking forward to reading those responses.

The first semi-final was absolute drivel. I was very impressed with the staging and lighting but the songs themselves were easily forgettable. I'm looking forward to the lady with a beard tonight.

 

[starmaniac]

So proud of Conchita! Amazing performance by the Queen of Austria! And maybe we'll win tomorrow night!

 

[dozyk74]

The second semi-final was fantastic. Much better than the first. For one heart-stopping moment, I thought Austria wasn't going to get through. I'd love it if Conchita won. Not keen on the actual song but a bearded lady! That's got to be worth voting for.

I'm so glad Hungary got through. It's my favourite so far.

Bit of a shame cake to bake didn't get through. It was true eurovision nuttiness and I love that

 

[suckpoppet]

I never watch the semi-finales or listen to the songs on radio/internet. I want every song to be brand new and fresh for the finale tomorrow evening.
I do not want to have favourites. I'll make up my mind right there and then.
OMG it's always so exciting!

It's the Eurovision Song Contest 2014!

Only day of the year that I'm (vaguely) pro-European.

We're off - first song already done - as usual, I haven't heard any of them (even the U.K. entry)

After I've heard all songs, I'll try and post my fave in a vid if I can find it quick.

Who will win?

...I'm only watching for the bearded lady.

What will the bearded lady do for an encore?

I'm watching Alan Bennett at 80 on BBC4. Much more interesting.

80 already! Time flies.

I love his memoirs more than his plays. He said he does dialogue but can't do plots.

Bad singing and goofy antics... No, I.just.can't.

^^^^ The only thing good about England now is

Big Brother.
TOWIE.
Made in Chelsea.
Hollyoaks.
Eastenders.

The rest is White-Dee City.

So the only good things about England are five TV shows of a distinctly low brow variety? I think that tells us more about you than it does about the state of the nation.

Maybe if you had said Misfits, it would have made so much more sense.

Re: It's the Eurovision Song Contest 2014!

I can't decide!

Belarus - a bit of a catchy tune

Austria - transvestite diva with beard with power-ballad (very James Bond-esque)

Greece and France - both rap guys, not THAT bad (but really can't hold a tune to save their lives)

Switzerland - I liked it! It was funny! Whistling and drumming and all sorts of instruments

Sweden - probably the best sung (in tune) song, but not that catchy

Denmark - cute

Finland - rock/guitar boy band - quite good

Netherlands - american-style country/western duet - I LIKED! Very different from usual

I still can't decide!

Went for Netherlands - was 5 seconds too late.



That's embarrassing. Shows what indecision (and being too busy posting on JUB) does.

Re: It's the Eurovision Song Contest 2014!

God I love eurovision! It's so diverse and everyone is welcome! I wish I had eurovision every day!

 

[dozyk74]

Looks like Austria might just have it. All aboard to Vienna!

I haven't seen any of it yet— but I heard a Malaysian/Australian named Jessica Mauboy performed on it.
