    Default The downside to being European

    There are many advantages living in Europe, nice weather, not too hot not too cold, a area of the world where many cultures come together, football, no G.W.Bush, etc...

    But there is one BIG downside...Eurovision...

    Sweden votes for Denmark, and Norway and Finland, and what a surprise Spain voted for Portugal, and Portugal voted for Spain. Austria of course votes for Germany and Germany returns the favour, Greece and Turkey vote for Cyprus, while the Balkan countries vote for each other. Russia votes for the ex-Soviet states and they vote for Russia, Belgium votes for Holland, UK votes for Ireland. Oh and it's full of camp singers singing crap songs.

    If you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, don't worry...you're one of the lucky ones...

    I do wonder why it's always pop-singers, why can't bands enter? Everyone loves Coldplay except me, let's send Coldplay or Radiohead or Muse or Feeder. We might at least get some votes for doing something different.

    Eurovision is great, purely because it's so terrible.

    And everyone knows it. And everyone still watches it.

    Good bands wouldn't sink as low as performing in the Eurovision Song Contest.
    Even though it always sucks,
    I always find it moderately interesting to see what the different countries send.

    Like when Russia sent TaTu. They had a single out but they were 17 so they managed to get in. If they won they planned on performing naked. They came VERY close to first.

    Ain't us Brits sending Jordan to be our representive for Eurovision.

    *shudder*

    Our entry last year was PAINFUL. We got no votes - seriously....it was....a shame.
    I guess this year if Jordan goes, no-one will be paying any attention to her song.

    Eurovision is funny.

    Look at the bright side: We don't have that stick-in-the-mudd BUSH.

    Yeah I guess that and everything that comes with having little to do with him is good enough.
