Curious if you know what countries have their candidates ready for Belgrade.

Sweden voted this entry to represent them in the eurovision song contest.

there's something wrong with her singing Wink
I guess it's an "OK" song, nothing really special.
I actually liked Sweden's last year's entry - a song by The Ark Smile

As for Poland - I heard the candidates and they were all pretty bad so I don't really care who goes to Belgrade Razz

Yea, agreed. Nothing very special. Singalong friendly and that´s about it.
The Ark was good last year. You listen to their music?

Andy Abraham with the tune "Even If" is representing the UK.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rWnQ_81n3YE

Bit of a disco vibe, Andy's got the moves. Not strong enough to place highly, though. Didn't like it at first, very predictable, like it was written over a coffee break, but it's grown on me. However, the song aside, politics will ensure we will end up at the bottom of the highscore.

Check out the Irish song for this year, lol.

It's even crazier than last year's Ukraine entry: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bTtY_wIRTd8

Laughing Thats just us trying to make a point by taking the piss totally out of Euro Vision. We won it more times than anyone else, but now that the voting system has been reduced to people just voting for friends and not the songs, we are just going to just take the piss out of Euro vision because no matter what we do, we cannot win it. Ireland is an Island and it has no surrounding countries.

Regards.
Sharp.

The UK entry is very good imo. I think it might end high up the ranks. But then again many countries will vote and you never know what the majority will think.

Was that Irish enrty for real ? Gosh Wink

Absolutely, and not before time methinks. Smile They'll have to change the system or there'll be more where they came from, I think.

The lyrics, in case you missed 'em:

Oh I come, from a nation
What knows how to write a song...
Oh Europe, where or where
.. did it all go wrong?

COME ON!!!!!!

Irelande douze points

Drag acts and bad acts and Terry Wogan's wig,
Mad acts and sad acts, it was Johnny Logan's gig.

Shake your feathers and pop your beak,
Shake em to the west and to the east,
Wave euro hands and euro feet,
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat.

Irelande douze points.
Irelande douze points.
Irelande douze points.
Do the funky beat.

G O B gobble B L E, Yeah.

Hello Abba, hello Bono, hello Helsinki.
Ola Prague, hello sailor, se la vie.
Alvida sein Mamma Mia,
and god save the Queen,
Bon joir Serbia, good day Austria,
You know what I mean?

Shake your feathers and pop your beak,
Shake em to the west and to the east,
Wave euro hands and euro feet,
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat.

Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points,
....[rasp].

Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points,
Do the funky beat.

Give us another chance,
we're sorry for riverdance,
Sure Flately he's a yank,
And the Danube flows through France.

Block voting,
shock voting,
Give your 12 today.

You're all invited to Dublin Ireland,
And we'll party the Shamrock way!

Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points.

Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points.

Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points.

Irelande douze points,
Do the funky beat.

COME ON!! Bring it on!

Irelande douze points,
Irelande douze points.

Eastern Europe we love you,
Do you like Irish stew?
Or goulash..
...as it is to you?

Shake your feathers.

Listen Bulgaria we love you,
Belarus, Georgia, Montenegro,
Moldavia, Albania, Croatia,Poland,
Russia, Ukraine,Macedonia,
Love you Turkey, Hungary,
Estonia, Slovakia, Armenia,
Bosnia Herzegovina.

And don't forget the Swiss!

Haha Shocked Oh my god... Becoming more of an eurovision laugh contest for every year now... Rolling Eyes

Voltan. Nice song for the Polish. Not very unique perhaps, but sounds nice.

Yeah, I agree Smile I guess it was the best choice from the candidates.
The singer is actually American but she married a Polish guy and lives in Poland now Wink

*sob*
Wish the runnerups would have a separate competition.
Ppl of SWE voted for this, but together with the musical "knowhows" it wasn´t enough. Studio version is great btw. (as usual)

The voting was a joke, as usual Wink
Actually my favorite song came second so I guess it wasn't that bad.
Too bad Poland came last though, I don't think we deserved it Sad
