(I couldn't find the Oslo version on Youtube but this is the song that we performed there as well)

Yeah... The entire Dutch population would like to apologize for this disgrace of an entry. Wasn't our call.

I liked Turkey's song a lot. Was refreshing after all the ballads.

Do people in Europe actually care about winning Eurovision?

Mmm, get your facts right, they didn't start WW1, they where just dumped with war reparations since they where the last force to stop fighting.

On another note, I knew Britain wasn't going to win, any one think Turkey was pretty cool?

Wow... You're romanian? So am I. Coolie.. (To all of you who're gonna shout "But you're Danish!!!", I live in Denmark and have lived there almost all my life <.<) ...

Anyway I liked the German song. I also liked Ukraine... And that Turkey group. The singer was kinda hot.


Edit: I found the Danish song to be rather crappy btw. I'm glad Romania beat Denmark.

We don't care. In fact I don't understand why we still participate. It's a useless expensive (not to mention unfair, because everyone just votes on the country next to them) contest that should be banned. Especially if we keep sending shit acts to it.

UK's song was... sorry.. .uh really crappy...

Anyway I don't really care who wins in Eurovision, but it's a Europe-wide television show, so it's fun to watch. Feels kinda big.

Of course if Romania won, I WOULD care about who won Cos I'm a hypocrite.

Ha, we lost. Greece were quite good. That lady who sang about the peach stone had a magnificent cleavage. That double piano was awesome. The German lady was annoyingly Mockney. That peroxide blonde bloke was quite androgynous. Why am I watching this?

Those were all my thoughts on the evening.

Terry Wogan no longer commentates it, so i didn't bother watching. i don't think Graham Norton can be as sarcastic.
