Eurovision Song Contest 2009

This is a page about the Eurovision Song Contest 2009. Its offical home-page is www.eurovision.tv and this page is for Elfpackers to babble about it. For the first time all the videos are available on the home-page (some were available last year, but some bastards tried to get their videos removed from YouTube all the time).

There is an official YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/eurovision

Eh, what is Eurovision Song Contest?

ESC San Marino 2009 isn't in this year. ESC Austria 2009 is still not back. And Italy (last seen 1997), Morocco (seen only in 1980), Monaco (last seen 2006), Luxembourg (last seen 1993) and some other countries are not or have never been a part of the Eurovision.

Be nice... - NOT!

Be fair, but please don't spare us the insults towards the crappy artists! This is a good place to be disrespectful artists, entire cultures and let the competition devil take over you. This contest is made to keep that out of the rest of the society...
