Eurovision Song Contest


This is a page about the Eurovision Song Contest. Its offical home-page is www.eurovision.tv and this page is for Elfpackers to babble about it.

Eh, what is it?


OK, so you're not from Europe, Israel or something like that? Well, the Eurovision is like a combination of the Oscar's Awards, a little singing and the Napoleon wars. Get the idea? The important thing is winning, but it's also important who is losing. Last year Finland with Lordi won (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVFw1cI2XjU points: www.linkmeet.com/_lordi) and Hell froze over which is now affecting our climate, so this is serious stuff!

2007-03-15 [Hedda]: ESC Croatia updated.

2007-03-15 [Hedda]: ESC FYR Macedonia and ESC Portugal updated

2007-03-15 [Hedda]: BTW: You just have to love this girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6j475XI1Xg
I've seen worse Numas though... But not that cute-crazy! <img:zabuN-gif.gif>

2007-03-15 [Hedda]: And there! All done! Except France and UK, but are they done yet?

2007-03-15 [FireGypsy]: Wtf?

2007-03-15 [Hedda]: What do you mean?

2007-03-15 [Nevermore.]: well the uk havent even had the programme running that they normally do i dont think. they usually put a show on and let the public deside who to send...

2007-03-15 [graw]:
What pisses me off is that people think that all Israeli songs are so stupid. Only the Eurovision ones are (mostly anyway).
I'm Israeli and I do not want them to win. It’s a moronic song!
I'm a patriot no doubt about it. I've shed my blood for the country. However the Eurovision is a joke. Israeli's couldn’t care less about it therefore they send silly stuff to it. I'm not saying its ok. In fact I think its retarded. We have such incredible talent here and such AMAZING music, Jewish music.
Yet we just send clone garbage stuff trying to be like others.
Israel doesn’t want to start any wars. I've been in a war and I can tell you that I'm not eager to go back.
We just want to be left alone to live in peace. Who knows, maybe then we'll start sending some good groups to the Eurovision. Till then, yeah its a joke. We've got more important things on our mind!
(I commented here and in the Israeli wiki, figured more people would see it here).
this is just an example. This is a fun song (the guys in the clip are not the band, just a bunch of guys lip-syncing to the real song): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR_vBo1LJ0Q
Here's an excellent Israeli band:
1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIhs6Vl8y1k
2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnMBZttmiqA&mode=related&search=
Tell me those aren’t nice songs! And obviously these are only a few examples...

2007-03-16 [Hedda]: ESC Montenegro updated.

2007-03-16 [Nevermore.]: btw! britian's 'make your mind up' programme is on tommorow night, so i will watch the results show and tell you who is up for britan at 9:30 if you want!

2007-03-16 [Hedda]: Oh, nice to know. Russia and France maybe have their finals then too?

2007-03-16 [Nevermore.]: possably, i have no idea, but i will give you the up date on who all was running, what the songs were like and who won ;) im just THAT nice

2007-03-17 [pianista]: :( why Italy don't?? :((

2007-03-17 [Hedda]: That you have to ask the Italian TV... They just aren't interested.

2007-03-17 [graw]: I have simply stopped watching the Eurovision three years ago. Its not a song contest. Its a freakshow. Sad...

2007-03-17 [DevilishlySweet]: If I were from Israel I would have voted for Synergia (2nd band mentioned in [graw]'s post). I wonder how the pick the finalists?

2007-03-18 [Hedda]: Eh, what? How can it be sad that it's a freakshow?!? <img:zabuN-gif.gif>

2007-03-18 [Hedda]: I just had to make this: The top 10 toughest Eurovision drinking games <img:mood5-gif.gif>

2007-03-18 [Hedda]: ESC United Kingdom and ESC Russia seem to have decided in what to send. I'm a little disappointed at the later one. Too boring! Come back Tatu!

2007-03-18 [Nevermore.]: i WILL be doing that *huggles the drinking games*

2007-03-19 [Hedda]: ESC France finally done! Now everything is here! <img:mood2-gif.gif>

2007-03-19 [Hedda]: ESC penis score 2007 done, but I can't do the ESC vagina score 2007...

2007-03-19 [Nevermore.]: want me to try?? lol

2007-03-19 [Hedda]: Yepp! <img:cheshmak.gif>

2007-03-19 [Nevermore.]: lol..ok!so i can edit the page?? *watches all videos*

2007-03-19 [Hedda]: ESC vagina score 2007 isn't even created, so it should be no problem. Easiest is if you go to ESC penis score 2007 press edit and change the name and edit that content, because then you already have the frame. 

2007-03-19 [Nevermore.]: lol ok! wuv you! YAY!!!! in the eurovision mood now

2007-05-04 [Hedda]: Youtube has removed a lot of videos, but I've replaced them.

2007-05-04 [Papa Don't Preach]: haha cool.

2007-05-04 [Hedda]: I wrote some comments here, so that you'll get a reminder about what is what, even if you don't agree with what I think about the songs.

2007-05-10 [Hedda]: Semifinal tonight! 19:00 Elfpack time! 20, 21, 22, 23 or something for you then... 22:00 Finnish time, 21:00 Swedish time.

2007-05-10 [Nevermore.]: what semi final?!

2007-05-10 [Nevermore.]: OH I AM NOT HAPPY! wrong ones got in!

2007-05-10 [Hedda]: I'm only sad that Cyprus and Austria didn't make it and that Latvia and Hungary did.

ESC Final Starting order is now updated with a few comments of mine.

2007-05-11 [Nevermore.]: i wanted switzerland and denmark in...night of drinking and falling when trying to dance ><

2007-05-11 [Hedda]: Denmark?!? <img:mood14-gif.gif> The drama-queen? That was so boring that it was... well... boooooring!

ESC Ukraine - That's party music!

2007-05-11 [Papa Don't Preach]: lmao.... i wonder how bad UK will do.. very??

2007-05-11 [Nevermore.]: yes! i wanted the drama queen in..there is nothing better than getting drunk and listening to up beat dance music witha drag queen...><
sweden will do well

2007-05-12 [Hedda]: OK, I've thought about that, but I could imagine me drunk enough to dance more than a couple of seconds to that tune.

2007-05-12 [Nevermore.]: lol, oh come on! then again, the company i have for tonight is all into that type of music

2007-05-13 [Hedda]: ESC final score 2007 will have some more exact voting later on.

2007-05-13 [Papa Don't Preach]: *woot!!!* UK didnt come last...just er... second last

2007-05-13 [Nevermore.]: hehe ireland did...haha sicken me! i told you that song was crap, i knew it wouldnt do well...my aunt will be happy though! she is from Serbia...my family always have a war at eurovision, i have family from ireland, uk, Serbia, sweden and F.Y.R. Macedonia lol...phone bills are always high with everyone calling eacher other saying "hahah we got more points than you" lol...

2007-05-13 [Papa Don't Preach]: lol. sounds fun tho

2007-05-13 [Nevermore.]: yeah, it is..kinda! lol. doesnt help that half my family hate the other half, so it really DOES end up in fighting lol! strange >< last time i saw my family from sweden was when i was about 9, they came here..so im going to try and go there soon!

2007-05-13 [Papa Don't Preach]: cool. my family either live here in scotland or new zealand. so there isnt really any problem

2007-05-13 [Nevermore.]: lucky you! lol

2007-05-13 [Papa Don't Preach]: lol

2007-05-13 [Hedda]: In Sweden there is an outcry about that the ESC is badly designed because neighbouring countries are voting for each other yada-yada.

I think they should focus on stopping to be assholes who say that everything new and good in the Eurovision is crap. We've heard a lot of new and interesting stuff this year, and I'm so not looking forward to hear yet another Abba-copy again! Even horribly boring ballads are better, if there aren't too many of them.

2007-05-13 [Nevermore.]: oh that same 'out cry' is going on here to. aswell as the big 'political' thing..its only because uk are not winning

2007-05-14 [Papa Don't Preach]: i know. but no wonder. we choose what goes in, and if they UK choose the crappy song to go in, no wonder we lose so its our own fault

2007-05-14 [Hedda]: I think the biggest problem in Scandinavia, Netherlands and in UK-Ireland is that there is a perception that to enter Eurovision you have to play boring standard pop-music.

Germany and France failed miserably, but at least they tried to do something different.

I guess that in a few years the Yugoslavian music that sounds fresh and exotic to us now, will feel oldish and boring. Bosnia's ballad didn't even make it to the top 10 now, because it's nothing new anymore. The same goes for the Irish ballad that also is too oldish.

I hope and I think we'll see more extreme things next year.

2007-05-14 [Papa Don't Preach]: i liked lordi. from the other year, that was great

2007-05-14 [Nevermore.]: well put it this way..ireland and uk cant get any worse

2007-05-14 [Hedda]: [Nevermore.]: Don't worry! They will find a way to do it! <img:mood5-gif.gif>

Next year UK will send a quiet nerd pretending to play metal, and Ireland will send Johnny Logan singing an even slower song hopelessly out of date...

2007-05-14 [Nevermore.]: Hehe knowing our luck, they probably will!!

hahahhahaha! i cant wait to see if your right!

2007-05-14 [Papa Don't Preach]: me too

2008-03-01 [Hedda]: Ireland is going turkey this year...

2008-03-04 [Nevermore.]: WOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT......i dont get it

2008-03-04 [Nevermore.]: hey, was there not an ESC drinking game here?

2008-03-05 [Inehmo]: And Finland sends another metal band to eurovisions.. It's Teräsbetoni this time.

2008-03-06 [Nevermore.]: ..drinking game?

2008-03-06 [Hedda]: Drinking game? What are you referring to?

2008-03-06 [Hedda]: I'm working on a new version of this page for this year, by the way. It should be somewhat ready this weekend.

2008-03-06 [Nevermore.]: was there not a drinking game page here for ESC last year? i think i remember seeing it

2008-03-06 [Nevermore.]: im gunneh have to find out when ESC is on..hmmmm
