eurovison 2009
« on: May 16, 2009, 10:25:59 pm »

As some of you may be aware, Eurovision 2009 was aired across Europe tonight, who would you give your 10 points to. (don't vote for your own country)

I think I listened to OUR (UK) input via the radio the other week and



yes "no comment" comes to mind. and from past years I think the 'VOTING' is all a big joke any way. Just ask our Terry Wogan for his views on the subject {:-{

Is it too late to put £10 on Norway?
(They've just attained the highest votes for any song ever...)


How has the voting system changed this year?

Supprised Norway didnt break the 400 point marker firm favourite to win from the offset.

The viewers' votes from each country are used to put the entries in order of popularity.

The judges' votes are also used to put the countries in order.

The two popularity polls are then combined with each counting equally towards the final position given to each performance.

The nation then awards 12 points to its overall favourite, 10 to the second choice, 8 to the third and seven, six

I found "The Bulletproof Monk" on Freeview.  More entertaining than the Eurvision Song Contest.  Certainly better fight scenes.

Passed me by. Funny how the (foreign) winner just never gets any air time after the event so you never get the chance to hear what it actually was.

Anyone remember 'Are you sure' from the sixties. It might even have won. It was the first record my sister ever bought so with a selection of one it did get a lot a playing in our house.

Personally I'm delighted that "we" didn't win. OK, we had a great singer and a song that was at least as good as a lot of the others...but why should we "tax-payers" be saddled with yet more expense just to satisfy some overblown ego?  A few years ago the price of success nearly crippled Ireland....and as we are already sort of crippled.....
But I thought the Turkish "singer" was gorgeous, all that flesh and so on. And from a Muslim country! What will the village elders be thinking now? Or was it all just a ploy to allow Turkey to join the great scamming gravy-train called the EU or something. BY.

It came second in 1961 with 24 votes  :o  Sung by the Allisons (a rip off of the American Kalin Twins). The Allisons broke up in 1963.
