Yeah! great thread, mate!

Btw: The Damon Bennet-Certified Eurovision Drinking-Game is something you need to do:

The rules:

- Meet up with some friends. Everyone will have 4 Countries associated with him.

---> 1 Country that the bookmakers think has a high chance of winning
---> 1 Country you like/think can win
---> 1 Country someone in your eurovision party assigns to you
---> The Country your eurovision party takes place in. If your country does not participate, chose one, which everyone in your party likes.

- For the show casually drink a ton of beer, to survive absurdity of the show

- You are probably already drunk from the high amounts of beer, but: Everytime one of your 3 countries scores 8 Points or higher -> Drink one shot. Make sure to bring enough schnaps!

- When the country you live in (or the one you chose for your party) scores 8 points or higher, EVERYONE will need to drink a shot.

- Once you are drunk enough, it will be even more fun to sing the chorus of the song over and over again, each time one of your countries scores 8 points or more.

There is no winner! Everyone is a winner, because everyone will be incredibly drunk and it will make eurovision a ton more enjoyable.

Warning: Make sure to not touch your phones, the temptation to actually vote a billion times for one of the contestants is incredibly high once drunk.

oh man, it's still almost two months to go. seeing this thread made me hope they moved it up or something.

Just going with the tradition, the thread has usually appeared in mid March because all countries have locked their entries by now.

And so long to wait.

I need to play the drinking game! Not one of my friends would even get close to this though.

John Dunbar · Mar 25, 2013

so who are the early favourites by the bookmakers?

TCRS · Mar 25, 2013

The German song ain't even that bad. I was expecting a lot of cringe, but it's ok. Pretty generic.

regardless of the quality, i'm expecting nil points for you from cyprus. and possibly many other countries.

eurovision, expert, can't succeed by being a dick, shot yourself in the foot etc. etc.

thomaser · Mar 25, 2013

I usually hate the songs we send to Eurovision, but this year Norway's song is actually pretty good. She could work on her pronunciation, though.

Nice, Portugal does not competes this year.

GCX · Mar 25, 2013

That San Marino girl's style has changed quite a bit compared to that trainwreck Facebook song from last year.

Ashsturm · Mar 25, 2013

Bah humbug, all these contestants look young and sane (Bonnie Tyler excepted)... looks like it's up to the choreographers need to bring it again this year

One of the songs is titled Alcohol is Free.

I don't think we need to worry.

Forsete · Mar 25, 2013

Yohio should have won!

Actually I dont care, but from what I have heard on the radio I like Yohio better than You which sucks ass

SquiddyCracker · Mar 25, 2013

No Jedward

Baron Doggystyle von Woof · Mar 25, 2013

fuck yes eurovision. I hope Cyprus wins just for lulz.

Kurtofan · Mar 25, 2013

Oh it's that time of the year!

iMax · Mar 25, 2013

This will be insane.

Alucrid · Mar 25, 2013

One of the most fascinating things about Europe.

addik · Mar 25, 2013

Yeah, Eurovision 2013! I have been looking for someone to play a drinking game with, but no one I know is interested in Eurovision.

But anyway, is it me or are there some decent songs this year? Last year, I was only rooting for Italy, but now I love Malta and Ireland, and like Hungry, France, Austria, and others (haven't watched all to decide my top picks).

Or maybe I just stooped a new low in my life because this will be my third Eurovision?

Are you kidding me? Go listen to Euphoria by Loreen right now.

Anyway, I've heard Sweden, Germany, and Romania. I like Sweden but it's no Euphoria, I like Glorious, and I hate Romania's entry.

I know, its hard to convince people that the eurovision drinking game is worth it. but once you convinced them, it will be incredibly fun!

Jamie OD · Mar 25, 2013

Wow, Cascada is entering this year? Germany's sending out the big guns. Sort of.

Haven't heard Ireland's entry yet but I automatically apologise in advance.

Zeknurn · Mar 25, 2013

Subscribed.

I can't wait for the awkward and terrible Swedish humour.

SLV · Mar 25, 2013

Ugh at Latvia's entry, Per surely had a better song than that shite.

Meadows · Mar 25, 2013

oh Europe you crazy

It's actually decent, it's one of my favorites. Though I cringed when I saw a live recording of it.

choodi · Mar 25, 2013

Hell yes, I love Eurovision time, must resist the urge to listen to all the songs before hand

Auron_Kale · Mar 25, 2013

Guess I'll sub to this.

My friend from Malta's got me watching this every year. This year, she made me watch the Maltese finals via stream and I'm indifferent to the guy they picked (was surprised they even went with the song they chose) but I love watching all of the other countries' performances.

Fritz · Mar 25, 2013

YEAH!

To celebrate this Eurovision in Malmö we/Germany thought it would be a great idea to send what is practically the same song as last year's winner!! THANKS SWEDEN!

DrM · Mar 25, 2013

Our (Slovenian) song is just tasteless eurocrap. National TV selected her on inside competition, but most of the people around here would rather see that we followed some other countries out of this freak show (wasting money at finest).

Honestly after having listened to Glorious a lot it's really not a copy of Euphoria. Yeah it's somewhat similar but that's more an effect of the genre I think. I really doubt Cascada made that song after listening to Euphoria, and they had to audition like everyone else (I think?).

I'm surprised Romania didn't try to send Inna like they tried last year.

Yoshi, came in 2nd or 3rd place I think. Way better than the winner "You" by Stjärnfeldt or whatever his name is.

It is more popular on the radio at least.

GCX · Mar 25, 2013

I actually don't hate the Finnish entry this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3pKGRNexY

It's super cheesy but it's also a pretty good Katy Perry pop song with some self parody and Eurovision ding dongs. Could be worse.

Metrotab · Mar 25, 2013

C'mon Wallonia, you guys are supposed to send good contestants.

Don't think we'll get in the finals.
