moldova, clearly gonna be moldova
Romania is mine! Who doesn’t love a double piano?
Russia
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Two countries for the price of one.
It’s got to be Azerbaijan, init? lovva lovva
I’ll have Germany please Scotty.
Greece! Or Serbia! I can’t decide, they’re both amazing!
Armenia
I’LL take Greece since I’m Greek. Milana – have fun with the Serbs!!
Ok, cool! I’m half serbian anyway AND the guy’s called Milan, so it makes sense!
Denmark usually do pretty well..
Israel, baby
Turkey please :)
Hmmm… considering I’m JEWISH I should have really put my weight behind Israel. But considering they are not even in fucking Europe they should really fuck off and do a song contest with the Arab world. I’m sure they’d be very successful…
España, gracias.
We’re not impartial tonight. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!
Because I reckon we’ve got a shot, I’m going for our home country: UK please!
These are the countries we have left:
Norway
Cyprus
Belgium
Belarus
Georgia
Albania
Iceland
Ukraine
France
Armenia
Portugal
The metro must have forgotten about us when they wrote that article!
Armenia please
And the UK entry isn’t the worst ever – we’re always poor and we’ve had worse songs!
Actually, Dan, any member of the European Broadcasting Union can compete take part in Eurovision, so Israel has every right to compete. Algeria and Egypt could enter as well if they wanted to. Booya.
I’m sure Dan knows that – I think he’s just suggesting that Israel is as much part of Europe as the aforementioned Algeria and Egypt. Why are they here? Because the “European Broadcasting Union” is stupid. >.>
Belgium please!
I’m sure there’s a joke/pun somewhere to do with York VISION… EuroVISION….. Yoruvision? Eurkovision?
Big up “Paul from North London”. Not me though. Promise.
I thought Norweigens were supposed to be fit? not impressed
I would
with regards to Azerbaijabn
Ugh, really? Even with the ‘drip drop drip drop’ dance?
Ohhhh Spain is speciaaaal.
Quote from the room: “well they [Norway]’re not gonna win this year…”
This sounds like the bloody national anthem of some depressing Eastern European country
His English is quite good though, for a second language.
So many of the other contestants cannot sing in English at all, yet they attempt to.
OMFG we have the winners! Moldova FTW!
can someone please praise the amazing stage crasher in the spain entry. and MOLDOVA to win!!!
interesting dance moves Moldovia!?!
She’s like a cross between Gaga and Cher…… I LOVE IT.
Oh this is like something out of Chess…. who sweepstaked thiss??
YAY FATHERLAND LOVE.
she looks like a lepricorn on stilts. her body shape is extremely odd.
Belarus: The only entrant that remembered to bring some Red Bull.
I speak Greek :P. It’s all like “I’ve burnt up the past and everything that’s gone before” yada yada yada “I’ve paid all my dues…. OPAA!” etc. Odd.
We were shocking. The backing singers were grunting rather than singing, me ears couldn’t take it!!! Josh did well though, but we won’t do half as well this year with that!
moldova all the way. i’m hoping for it to come on spotify soon.
“Trash gash metal ash never wins.”
Hallelujah!
this blog and contest is so unbelievably CR*P!
Seriously people, don’t even consider voting for Greece. If we wanted/could afford to win, we wouldn’t have sent a bunch of booing gay Droogs.
I think Iceland couldn’t send a candidate following the volcanic ash so they reused Ireland’s entry…
Love the live blog scotty
Emily Fairbairn wants me to ask if she can have Maldova.. I consider this cheating as it was quite clearly musical genius.
i muted ukraines odd entry song and just listened to moldova again.
Samantha Cowley: I feel like he would want to hump all of us
Mike: Including me
damn, France is even worse than our troglodytes.
Some may laugh, but at least the French have actually made an effort; unlike us…
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ
That’s the most amazing piano!
Me too, Andy, me too…
russia couldn’t even afford a real photograph of a woman for him to look at. this is just a bunch of peasants.
well she was chosen for two massive reasons.
Dirty Norwegians: closing up on the (very nice) cleavage of Armenia.
Gernany’s Lena strangely resembles Amy Pond. Not bad…
Lena from Germany sang two Kate Nash songs on the idol show “Our star for Oslo” which Germany put on to find a contestant
@Jim you also get translations! :). This song is…. weird.
is that red button only on the remote control?
i am watching online on iplayer..is there a button for translation for that too?
N’evergreen? Has he been kicked in the nads? This is like a drunken Starship’s “Nothing’s going to stop us now”, meets Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best”. Still, at least it’s in tune, ahem, Britain!
that guy doing a handstand is amazing. UK couldnt even attempt that.
FUCK OFF SPAIN
I’m NOT in love, with this fairy-tale…
@Jim: cheers. would have been rather late anyway…
My favourites: Germany and Moldova
top: moldova (obvs!), france, and romania (its stuck)
Serbia will take this home. Blatantly. MILAN!
Also, Erik the host is really the true star of the night.
i vomitted a little with the best audience nonesense
Russia won two years ago – Norway last time.
So that’s the Eastern Block, then Scandinavia – so a Balkan Country to win this time?
I’d say Moldova, France, Germany and probably Denmark, power-ballad heaven.
Is it me, or would the Moldova entry mix well (read: is it vaguely plagiarising the Guru Josh Project’s “Infinity”?
Moldova will winnnn but I don’t know much else. We’ve done a group sweepstake in the flat and I have Iceland, Armenia, Belarus and Denmark. I have no hope.
eurgh, this is so sickly political. surely there should be something against a girl singing a platinum single.
BOO POLITICS.

Now, now: Freedom of Speech, whatever language it may be in.
Iceland was my fitty for the night!
i’d like to think that i would boycott this next year. but i hate to admit i love this crap.
Nice one Germany! I won’t gloat about my spectacular win but I will be round in a bit to collect my winnings. It’s £2 per person, yeah?
why does the yorkvision font keep changing?
Because I am shit with the formatting. I apologise.
I was only slightly wrong with my choice of Romania (which I based entirely on the fact that it was the first one on my youtube recommendations) so I am quite chuffed.
