Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens

Does any of you watch Eurovision Song Contest?

I've missed them the last couple of years but this year I'm able to watch. It's a good fun, a bit of camp, don't you think? Usually my country sucks (Finland) but this year I think we have a pretty good chance to get to the final. (Although we say that every year ) Well, at least we'll stand out.



The semi-final will take place tonight (Thursday May 18th) and the final on Saturday May 20th.

Aww, nobody?

Anyway, yay, we made it! Finland was one of the 10 semifinalists who will be competing against 14 other countries (24 total) in the final on Saturday.

Awww the country I'm living in right now isn't allowed to participate either but I just think it's better that way because it sucks SOOOO much every year that I'm actually relieved we don't have to be embarrassed this year

Maaan, those guys from Finland look really scary!

Yay, people posted here!

Kitty_Fantastico, I'm sorry.

Eilleen, we usually embarrass ourselves too but this year I think we have nothing to be ashamed of.

I know Lordi can look scary but it's only a show, they're regular well-behaving citizens behind the masks. I heard the press in Athens is impressed by how polite and nice they are.

So what are your favourite songs? I haven't had a chance to listen to the others much so apart from Lordi I can't really tell. Maybe I'll have to listen to them at the official site before tomorrow night.

I saw the semi-final and it was typical Eurovision fun: Kate Ryan - who can at least sing - lost against some really weird (and downright awful) performances.

Finland gets 100 super-cool extra points from me for being fully clothed. I prefer crazy over slutty. I also love the cowboy outfits of our German candidates. No no never, no no never...

Im looking forward to watching it tonight. It always gives me something to laugh about

I havent heard any of the songs [not even my own countries one], but Im really looking forward to hearing Lordi's entry.

Only an hour before it starts in the UK

Why did the opening act involve lowering a big orange from the ceiling?

omg Las Kethcup I was just staring during that performance, just stunned But I like Norway, she had a decent voice and Latvia I feel for those guys, their necks must really hurt after that!

the numbers to vore are in order of the performances, so if you know what number Finland are then you can kinda guess when they'll be on

Ok thanks

Didnt like Germany's entry....country singing? Just no

Denmarks entry = is there any point in having back up singers? The lead singer kinda over powers them by miles
