I'll probably be banned for this... where's this year's Eurovision thread?

[donKey jote]

What are these forums coming to? :wave::sailor::wave:

[gadjo_dilo]

http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-36111208?ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_mchannel=soci al&%2338;ns_campaign=bbcnews&%2338;ns_source=facebook

Yeah, banned..... That's the word!
We're no longer part of the show, more than that we're even banned from broadcasting the contest. I tried to watch the semifinals online but it was impossible on smart TV or tablet. I watched it on my small smartphone and it was difficult. Tonight I'll try to watch but I don't expect too much action here. The forums aren't as fun as in the past and the members either lost their sense of humour or are too "busy" to spend time here.

Unfortunately, our contribution on tonight show will be a real moment of silence and it's a shame cos I liked the song. Anyway, this is what we were supposed to perform:

Oh dear. Cant you see it?

[gadjo_dilo]

My favs are Cyprus, Georgia, Hungary and Russia. Also liked the guy from Belarus ( a long haired blonde who showed off a hologram of him naked playing with a wolf . He didn't qualified )

Both Austrias :kiss:

[gadjo_dilo]

Lol. Such a lame contest and only the three of us to comment ( a debate would have been too much :) ). Still we managed to fill in 14 pages. More than a thread dedicated to f1 races. :eek: :devil:

[donKey jote]

Austria :andrea:

[donKey jote]

It did seem a much lamer event this time though... almost as lame as F1 :p

[gadjo_dilo]

Justin Timberlake :p
A perfect guest for that kind of show.

[gadjo_dilo]

It did seem a much lamer event this time though... almost as lame as F1 :p
Yeah, I noticed this from the semifinals.
( to be honest I haven't seen much neither in semis nor tonight. The bloody smartphone is killing my eyes )

My favs are the same with Steve`s - not in that order and with Hungary replacing France in Top 6

[steveaki13]

The contest was OK. However the turn out everywhere on these forums is poor now.

[gadjo_dilo]

So.... Have you voted? :laugh:

[steveaki13]

So.... Have you voted? :laugh:

Nah.... I would only vote for the UK and thats not allowed. :bones:

[steveaki13]

That was an amazing mid session performance.

[gadjo_dilo]

When will they start to show the votes? It's almost 1 a.m. here.....

[donKey jote]

Almost midnight here :bandit:

[donKey jote]

Oooooh new voting system! :D

[donKey jote]

Has Bernie got anything to do with it? :p

[donKey jote]

Meh typical Austria votes Australia :p

[gadjo_dilo]

Oh, no....To watch the points on the phone......
That's torture.

[gadjo_dilo]

Hey! Quite mixed tastes. :eek:

[gadjo_dilo]

UK 12 points from Malta. People on holiday?

[gadjo_dilo]

Donks liked Armenia. :eek:

[donKey jote]

Politics :p

[gadjo_dilo]

And UK got points. :eek:

[donKey jote]

Surprise surprise belo Russia :p

[gadjo_dilo]

I dislike the voting system. I don't have enough time to see who voted who.
And they said we'll see the results of televoting and of the jury separately. However they show only one result. :confused:

[steveaki13]

UK getting points :p

[gadjo_dilo]

Surprise surprise belo Russia :p

Yeah, Rudy looked great. :p

[steveaki13]

I dislike the voting system. I don't have enough time to see who voted who.
And they said we'll see the results of televoting and of the jury separately. However they show only one result. :confused:

They do the public vote afterwards...... It could take hours.

[steveaki13]

Ozzie woman looked ill.....

[gadjo_dilo]

Lol. All Australians have oriental features. :eek:

[gadjo_dilo]

Steve you looked so stiff.....:p

[gadjo_dilo]

Ody has a new haircut. :p And forgot to vote for Cyprus.

[steveaki13]

Steve you looked so stiff.....:p

Grown though hadn't I :p

[donKey jote]

Sheesh bananiel is running away with it :p

[steveaki13]

Are you not appearing Gadjo because of your ban? :vader:

[donKey jote]

Hello claudia :andrea:

[gadjo_dilo]

Are you not appearing Gadjo because of your ban? :vader:

We're excluded from EBU.:p
And theoretically we weren't even able to watch the show.

[steveaki13]

So after sense from the juries, the peoples vote goes back to weird structure.

[steveaki13]

Poland who got 7 from the juries, are going to get a huge score from the people.......

[donKey jote]

Loads of expats :p

[steveaki13]

Ukraine are going to win????....... :confused:

[donKey jote]

Bum Australia might be robbed :mark:

[gadjo_dilo]

Bullshit! Poland was the last at jury and the third on televoting.

[steveaki13]

Russia with most old friends and neighbours win the most votes :D

[gadjo_dilo]

No no no no no no no no no no no no
It's unfair,,,,,,!!!!! :angryfire:

[steveaki13]

Bum Australia might be robbed :mark:

Ukraine has lots of Russian mates :dork:

[donKey jote]

No news... politics wins :p

[gadjo_dilo]

Who the f voted for Ukraine????
A horrible song.
I'm pissed off.
Very!
:s

[steveaki13]

No no no no no no no no no no no no
It's unfair,,,,,,!!!!! :angryfire:#

Crazy voting has been around since year dot. It has not improved with the new system. If anything it is a bit too harsh on Australia.

[steveaki13]

Who the f voted for Ukraine????
A horrible song.
I'm pissed off.
Very!
:s

People from Soviet nations?

[donKey jote]

So... 2017 in crimea? :bandit:

[steveaki13]

So... 2017 in crimea? :bandit:

Russia will be joint hosts..................

[gadjo_dilo]

Boo the witch!!!!

[steveaki13]

Well there we go guys. Its all over and been typically bizzare........

I would not usually watch it but happy to join in. A record thread maybe of 19 pages and only 3 posters?

Cheers Donks & Gadjo

See you next year

[donKey jote]

I don't mind the song too much, just not really eurovisiony :)

[donKey jote]

Yep see you Steve :wave:

[gadjo_dilo]

People from Soviet nations?
People from my a××.
They don't have money to spare on televoting. :s

Never been so sad after an Eurovision.

[steveaki13]

Yep see you Steve :wave:

I would say see you around the F1 section, but thats pants too. Barely worth watching these days.

[gadjo_dilo]

Cheers Donks & Gadjo

See you next year
Nightie Steve :wave:
Hope to see you sooner than that. :p

[donKey jote]

I haven't watched a single race this season... after not missing a single quali for more than 25 :dozey:

[gadjo_dilo]

So... 2017 in crimea? :bandit:

No. In Donetsk, between bombs. :s

[donKey jote]

People from my a××.
They don't have money to spare on televoting. :s

Never been so sad after an Eurovision.
Cheer up gadji, there's always next year :kiss:

[gadjo_dilo]

I don't mind the song too much, just not really eurovisiony :)

Yeah, you can hardly sing that in the shower. :s

[gadjo_dilo]

Cheer up gadji, there's always next year :kiss:

But it's unfair. I can accept that a jury gives points to a certain song. But this song is not the kind to win a televoting

[donKey jote]

Ukraine vs Russia

[gadjo_dilo]

Nightie donks! At least it was a thread that brought you back to the forum for a few hours.
:wave:

[donKey jote]

Oh well. It was great talking to you all again :kiss: :wave:

[donKey jote]

Nightie donks! At least it was a thread that brought you back to the forum for a few hours.

Yes sorry about that. I've been spend all my time on duolingo lately :dozey:

[gadjo_dilo]

Now I'm going to the Eurovision fb page to express my frustration. :devil:

[gadjo_dilo]

I've been spend all my time on duolingo lately :dozey:
What languages have you learnt?
