Sounds like I did not miss very much. Joel Send a noteboard - 28/05/2012 03:26:08 AM
So, yeah, um, Eurovision... I got nothin'. We missed Norways entry by about half an hour, but as long as it is not an African-Norwegian song sung in English, I am sure it is better than last years offering. ;)

This year you had an Iranian guy singing bland electro-pop.

My mother-in-law says the same author wrote Norways song and Swedens, even though each finished at opposite ends of the voting. Apparently "Norway" is a bit of a dirty word in Baku at present though, after a comedian with the NRK team covering Eurovision pretended to be an Iranian journalist trashing Azerbaijan provoked authorities in the host country, who subsequently detained him at the airport (by which I mean, "gave him a full body cavity search and forced him to spit on the Iranian flag.") Needless to say, there were official protests, and things have evidently gotten somewhat nasty; my in-laws suspect that may have been a factor in the voting (though I cannot see how it would do anything but earn sympathy from other countries.)

Slightly better than chocolate.

LoL. Be well, RAFOlk.
Apparently, Norway almost pulled its entry in protest, which might have been for the best.

Macedonian is mostly related to Bulgarian, as I understand it. - 27/05/2012 01:58:48 AM 544 Views
That's what I thought as well - 27/05/2012 07:04:29 AM 595 Views
It depends on wether you ask a Serb or a Bulgarian! - 30/05/2012 09:08:33 PM 611 Views
Started watching it about an hour in. - 26/05/2012 09:18:24 PM 503 Views
How odd; we wandered briefly across it earlier, mainly because nothing was on after the Doctor. - 26/05/2012 10:40:30 PM 573 Views
