OK, the first evening of Eurosong 2006 is almost over. As usual, it wasn't spectacular, but it was a fun. Unfortunately, my country is not participating this year, but I watched it anyway. What can I say, Eurosong was always taken seriously here.
So, here are my favorites before the final results of the evening:
Ireland
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Monaco (that girl looks very good)
Iceland (obviously not many liked her so I'd gladly comfort her)
Slovenia

Hmm, the Eurovision Song Contest from last year was an embarrassment itself for Germany, thanks first to Gracia's CD sales controversy and because she only got 4 points and got kicked out of the contest.
I was never into this Song Contest thing, and after Gracia last year, much less.

OK, it is final now and I agree with results except in the case of Finland. Also, I'm so sorry that Monaco didn't make it. Unfortunately, one treat less for my eyes on Saturday.

Tack for det, Matt! (actually we called it SUOMI but anyway )
After the first shock Lordi is loved now in Finland, there are so serious with that monster rock opera.
And very polite and nice boys from Lapland in real life, not satanist at all: they have a hit song called "Devil is a loser "
Carola just have to be there, would be dull with out her. And with out her wind machine!

FINLAND! SUOMI! LORDI!
For what it's worth, I quite enjoy the Eurovision - with proper commentary, of course. I was listening to two popular Estonian comedians comment the event and that made it more or less digestible.
I was expecting some rather fancy tricks and we did indeed have someone. For example, the zombie emerging from the piano while the Russian chap was singing. What was that all about? And the Greeks should have built the stage a little larger, because the clothes of the Polish and Swedish (if I recall correctly) artists didn't quite fit to it.
Anyway, it is still my belief that the songs are an unneccessary component of the Eurovision contest. We should just gather once in a year and vote for each other's countries. You know, just like it goes - the Balkan countries for each other, the same with the Nordics, Baltics and the CIS republics, plus UK and Ireland voting for each other. And then we should just give the remaining points to Malta, and live on in perfect harmony.

Why not? Last year, I've heard that Lebanon wanted to participate in the competition and it would be a great addition.
Quoting OV735 (Reply 12): the Balkan countries for each other, the same with the Nordics, Baltics and the CIS republics, plus UK and Ireland voting for each other.
Well, I do plan to vote for Croatia on Saturday, but today I voted for Ireland.
The only thing I hate in the last few years is that everybody wants to sing in English despite the fact they speak no English at all. It looks so pathetic and the best example was Belarus yesterday. I could only understand two simple words and I'm sure the poor girl had no idea what she was doing.
If I am not mistaken last year you suggested to skip the songs and proceed directly to the phone voting. I find this idea reasonable, it saves a lot of time

Agree with Matt on this one.

Irritating that everyone think heavy metal is synonomys with satan worshiping. Pathetic really...
I despise the Eurovision song contest, but if I remember it, I'll send Finland my vote.

"If guns don't kill people, people kill people - does that mean toasters don't toast toast, toast toast toast?"
For some reason all my Swedish friends want to spell Suomi (Finland in Finnish) "Soumi", got used to that.
Heja Sevrige... ment Sverige!
Will be interesting to see how many points Finland and Sweden give each other on Saturday, I have a feeling Carola can count on her fans in East.
How come Estonia, with that fresh pretty Swedish singer, didn't make it, there is no justice in ESC...

I never really understood the whole controversy over that last year. Something about charts or sales of the CD? Mind you, I thought that Gracia´s song was pretty good. Not 1st place material, but better then it did. But Germany´s contender this year "Texas Lightning" is just plain awful!!!! I just got back from the Knipe and they were playing it over and over .....
My vote goes for Finland!

36 Lhrmaccoll: GO IRELAND!! My dad is the guitarist, and he cowrote with kennedy. Love it Alex!
