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 (

ESC Final Starting order.
ESC Armenia You'll forget this boring ballad.
ESC Bosnia & Herzegovina A not so strong ballad as they usually send.
ESC Finland A wonderful Finish girl in a heavy song, but she's whining about "Leave me alone!".
ESC France France is for the first time in history playing a joke about themselves in a fast song.
ESC Germany Swing music... Very well done actually, but don't you just hate swing?
ESC Greece Nice dancing and very Greek disco, but the guy is just cutish.
ESC Ireland Another Irish ballad. Not their best.
ESC Lithuania Extremely cute girl with guitar with an extremely boring song.
ESC Romania Let's sing in as many languages as possible... But they forgot mine! Catchy melody.
ESC Russia Hard assed Russian girls! Too tasteful though, but the song has a real punch.
ESC Spain Slimy boy band.
ESC Sweden Half naked cute guy. Can't fail! Just call him Frank! Just a sweet... It's a happy song about anguish with a defined beat, but without strong refrain.
ESC Ukraine (Singen auf Deutsch gets votes?!?) Totally crazy drag-disco maniacs running wild. If you don't dance to this, you either are dead or have a musical education.
ESC United Kingdom Post-meta-Engl
ish jokes turned pathetic, but not as bad as last year.
And the 10 ones who won the semi-final:

ESC Bulgaria Etno techno rave. Screaming girl with wings in a hysterical speed.
ESC FYR Macedonia Yugoslavian pop-rock.
ESC Georgia A girl on drugs is trying to tell a story... You need to use the right hippie drugs to love it.
ESC Hungary Rzsa singing blues
ESC Latvia They can't sing opera nor pronounce Italian.
ESC Moldova Heavy Alice in Chains stuff sung by tough girl. A little slow unfortunately.
ESC Serbia Strong song.
ESC Slovenia Not Phantom of the Opera, but close. Tasteless - In a bad or a good way?

ESC Belgium Smile and smile and have an old fashion band...

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...
