Eurovision 2016 approaches

[ORGANISATION]

Armenia and Ukraine are my favourite for winning the competition

I think the UK might do rather well this year.

I think the UK might do rather well this year.

The song sounds quite good in the video, but it didn't sound as strong during the rehearsal. Maybe the duo will surprise during the final performance and get a decent place for the UK after many years of bad success.

We say this every year and we never win.

A strong rehearsal has led to a drop in the odds on the UK winning.

The only real hope for the UK to host the competition is.. Australia. In the case Dami wins, a European country will chosen for hosting the festival next year. It would be more than fair, if some city in the UK was picked for this event.

Yeah, I live in Australia and I think that's fair enough. Australia has a different time zone which would make things tricky and the U.K. Has such nice services for tourism

So Eurotrashvision is over for another year......

Nothing like a snappy tune about Stalin's deportation of Crimean Tatars in 1944 to remind Russia once again how much the rest of Europe (and Australia) apparently hate them.

 

[rareboy]

The homo yodelling for Mother Russia is pretty fuckable though.

 

[Telstra]

I'm not sure who i would give as a winner ... haven't heard all the songs yet .

 

[Telstra]

I love this song,
even tho don't understand a lot of the lyrics but it is a powerful and sad song ....

 

[unloadonme]

Never mind about all that eurocrap. What on Earth has happened to Mitchymo? Has anyone heard from him?

I am disgusted that the Australian singer Dami Im did NOT win Eurovision. The competition is political there was NO WAY Europeans were going to allow an Australian to win. I think a non European country has ever won the competition. I laughed so hard at the Russian guy who got third place his song was cheesy and just unprofessional. Dami Im has star quality she will go far if she can find the right people to break her into europe. I just want to point out the professional jury meaning people actually in media and the music industry all of them put Dami Im in first place. This competition is political, the lady from Ukraine is a horrible singer! I laughed at Jarmala or whatever her name is a shit performance! Dami Im I hope her record company can get her deal in Europe she needs to break into Europe next! This is the struggle for Australian singers they are huge down under in Australia or New Zealand possibly Asia but you need to break into Europe and North America to REALLY MAKE IT. Dami Im I heard her single the Sound of Silence is charting on Itunes in European countries so that is good news. Dami Im is a sweet nice girl and I really hope she considers going to Europe and possibly North America. Dami Im record company should definitely get her promoted more in the United Kingdom perhaps Sweden or Germany too.

Interesting on Youtube this singer video has over 30,000 dislikes. The song is poor and the lady vocals are weak she won due to politics she is not a good singer. I doubt she will go far.

 

[Natello4]

Most likely, it will be the same story like with the Serbian winner Marija who performed a similar sad song 'Molitva' back in 2007 and didn't get a decent recognition outside the Balkan region.
This year the most commercially successfull song (so far) is the Swedish entry (No.5):

The song starts at 0:36





The Australian, Bulgarian, Belgian and some other songs have potential to become hits, too. Excluding the voting, Eurovision has become a show with a mixture of different songs, which may/may not appeal to masses.

One of the best moments in ESC '16:



J.T. with the live band!

 

[maph58]

Absolutely loved the French entry!

 

[mikemizanin729]

There is an appropriate thread for that.

On second thought please continue. And no I don't know what happened to him, but he's probably on a break.

It's awful. I was shocked that it even won.

As crap as half the performances were there was 100 times better than that.

I disagree.
Ukraine song is quite good and deserved to win.
So many "dislikes" because of the russians thumb down in mass.
