Am I the only one who thought this song was absolutely amazing on Eurovision standards?

Oh, yeah, they did a cover of 'Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word' with Elton John, I think.
No it was an awesome song.GCX said:
On of my favorites of the past few years has to be Iceland's "Is It True" from 2009 though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOB_yzC2f_A

yes it was a suprise that the audience started cheering and screaming when the song was shown for the first time in the "our song for germany" show where lena presented 12 tracks.

I haven't even heard the song Belgium's sending in this year. They usually at least mention it on the news, or something.
That said, I may watch this for shits and giggles. I watched it with a few friends last year, and we were laughing the entire show.

i love the whole experience not the show itself
Yeah, Eurovision has nothing to do with music.
Here is the Swedish runner-up:
Danny Saucedo - In The Club
The dance moves were better at the very least.

I wouldn't say it has nothing to do with music. Most of the songs aren't very good, but still - a lot of the entertainment comes from the music itself. You never get this sort of thing otherwise, this look at different nations in the same format, what their musical choice actually tells us about the population, the weird appropriation of so many ideas of 'pop'.
Can't wait for it. My favourite event of the year.
One of my favourite random songs was the one with rapping and the guitar solo. If I just could remember which one it was.

What?
We came last in 2010 with one of the worst crimes against music we've ever entered in the contest.

Also, last year's entry makes Blue look like the Beatles in comparison. I think we'll do alright this year as well.
Unless everyone still hates us of course.
Last year's thread was awesome. Looking forward to read this year again 
I haven't seen any of the contestants yet, I always try to make it a surprise. Does anybody else think it's kind of bad that they have two semifinals nowadays? I mean if you don't watch the semifinals then you may miss some jewels, but if you watch then there is almost no need to watch the final.

sweden, I am disappoint
how are the singers chosen anyways?

It depends, some countries have national competitions between singers, some have competitions between songs, some broadcasting companies just order a song to represent them (this is actually a competition between national broadcasting companies and not countries). The national competitions can also be open or closed to only select artists.Frankenstrat said:
