... is in the Eurovision Song Contest.

They aren't even part of Europe!

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-12 17:29:19

Racist.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 17:31:18

No, I just take my geographically based singing competitions seriously.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-12 17:32:27

RACIST.

:P

Go back to Franse Hitler

Are we talking about the same Eurovision? The Eurovision that hosted this?!

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 17:46:55

If everywhere else hosts Lady Gaga in seriousness...

Also these examples by far balance it out.

vacasama · 2011-05-12 17:59:16

Come now, if Eurovision didn't get anything eastward past Greece or Finland, they wouldn't get crapactular songs like Day after Day.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 18:01:20

No we still have Ireland and the UK.

I haven't seen a single good song from them/us ever.

^^^ The German chick's voice is orgasms.

^^ But it's no match for that spectacular beast.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 18:14:04

^ Lena does have a weird voice, it's also very ungerman according to the germans I liaise with.

vacasama · 2011-05-12 18:39:28

Ah, that explains the tone of the OP.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 18:40:22

^ ???

~~Why would you insult Chagen like this?~~

Israel's really, really close to Europe, though (much of why it got conquered like fifty times in antiquity was because it connected three continents), and a lot of European Jews moved there. I could see it competing.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 18:44:49

There a quite a few countries 'near' Europe that have quite high levels of European immigrants, and they aren't counted.

vacasama · 2011-05-12 18:49:32

I gotta say the first semi final for this year's Eurovision seems rather retro to me.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 18:50:21

I skipped them so as not to 'spoil' the competition.

Then I realised I was going out for a friends birthday.

vacasama · 2011-05-12 18:58:33

I live on the West of the US so that's pretty great for me since I don't have to stay up late to see how bad the UK does this year.

IanExMachina · 2011-05-12 19:16:37

Why does the UK never try anything decent, or new.

vacasama · 2011-05-12 19:32:55

I don't know. I mean at least Spain was crazy enough to do something different for 2008. Then again 2008 was an epic year for joke acts.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-12 19:34:58

-looks at Spain 2008 Eurovision-
