Eurovision 2009

I didn't watch the show (as most of you know I haven't got a TV, and of course I was "in the pub" anyway) but on checking it out today I thought the winning Norwegian entry was actually quite a decent pop song by Eurovision standards, written and performed by someone (Alexander Rybak) who seems to be a genuine musician (violinist/pianist). Although certainly no masterpiece in any lyrical sense, I thought the song was (at least) better than OK.

And probably better than most of the acts I've seen supporting (or been supported by) mesh-29 and/or the Candle Thieves.

But what do I know?

I did'nt watch it either. I can't seem to feel any enthusiasm for it. I've probably seen too many of them.

It seems to go on for ever, and the UK entry does'nt usually seem to get anywhere.

Give me a good live performance any day!

Certain performers hold my interest - I think we all know who they are! :lol:

I didn't watch it either. I was too busy shaking my tambourine at Liam Gallager :wink:

But that's a whole other thread when I write it up! Although I did get a text of Kev (Kev Mac) wanting to know why there wasn't a forum sweep on it!

I've not watched it for years myself, but everyone seems to be raving about this Norwegian entry and that we ended up fifth. I can't comment on the songs as I've not heard them, but good on the UK for getting a respectable result.

Oh I watched it! It's one of my sad traditions! :oops:

I hated Norway's song - I was so annoyed with it in the end cos they kept playing it & it was just....... aaaarrrrggghhhh, I can't even explain my thought process on it! It just irritated the hell out of me! :twisted:

I was all for Malta with her Celine Dion-type ballad! lol

Then I liked Iceland who I think finished quite high & really liked Denmark's song but then it transpired it's one that Ronan Keating wrote & I realised why I liked it so much! I was a massive Boyzone fan back in t'day :oops:

Oh dear, in one post I've confessed I like Eurovision & Boyzone! The shame! haha

I only saw the end of it. I wasn't massively impressed by the song but they got points for the violin.
