Whenever I watch Eurovision, I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that if were only to take the exact right dose of LSD it would all start making sense.I've watched most Eurovision contests since 2007 or 2008 (not sure about the exact year) and I can tell you that it has been steadily going downhill all the time. Most good songs don't win with very rare exceptions, like Alexander Rybak.

Eurovision allows Europe to laugh at itself for hours in glorious, shared stupidity. It's the ultimate unifying event. What, why do you think Europe has remained at peace for so long? Open your eyes, sheeple.I always thought the main unifying thing in Europe was hating Russia but... you have a point here.
I feel bad for liking it and am unashamed at laughing at children fleeing from the power of metal. Sue me.

European progressive audience is booing Russia every time it's mentioned. I guess I was right when I said that Europe is united in hating Russia.Sorry ruskie, times are rough and not even eurovision can break the iron of man's heart for this day.

Something tells me that that the bearded Austrian singer will be awarded the victory in Pan-European Faux Voting Championship 2014 so that the EBU and Co. can make a statement that the whole of Europe is tolerant and supportive towards LGBT singers.I called it, kekekeke.
Also, Ukraine awarded Russia 4 points.Well Crimea is Ukraine for Eurovision :P
SBU is out to get those bastards who voted for Russia, that's for sure.
Europe has gone to dogs. The people are so depraved that they prefer kinky ersatz females over pastoral, naturally buxom village washmaidens.

I can see it now. Next year EVERY nation will have an act that is a little... erm, different... based on Austria's success with their performer.Won't work if the audience know you're just exploiting people's sympathies.
Meanwhile in Russia, a program on Rossiya-1 intended to discuss the contest was hijacked by the West's favourite bogeyman politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who proceeded to hilariously sperg out on live television for several minutes.1. Is that as funnyn as it sounds?
The audience doesn't seem to be mad at Austria's win - they are mad at Dolmachevy sisters being booed on stage.
Is this thing 100% politics? Or ya'll exaggerating?Northern countries only tend to win due to merit, though Britain has been slacking, and certainly most countries emphasize voting for their powerful neighbours and friends. We exaggerate, but many a country who should have won has lost due to politics.

Considering Scotland's first Eurovision act as a free nation will most probably be a certain drag queen I think we are poised to take victory."Prime minister, we are independent, what should be our first order of business?"

He really took the Austrian victory to heart, I guess.
For me I thought Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway had better songs. The best obviously being Britain's (well... it was better than previous years at least). Personality does also factor in though.
and let us not scrape away at Austria's achievements, the song was good enough to win after all.
I'd give France more slack if they actually all wore moustaches.
I actually liked France o_O Poland... ick. I was on-board for a while but it just went past porny and into disgusted disinterest for me pretty quickly.
Also didn't expect Netherlands to finish this high. Yeah the song was decent, but ultimately boring, I think? Personally, my money was on the Hungary. Liked Iceland too. And Poland was so silly I really wanted it to win. And strange enough, seems like I was amongst 0,1% that actually though France had a cool song.I have a feeling that France didn't want to win [occasionally you get the big 5 fielding their weaker singers to make sure they don't have to pay for the next eurovision] but that was sad, and it was at least as good as Greece's [which isn't saying much]. Armenia demonstrated the best of dubstep, in that it is a buildup of guttural emotion and noise without once actually losing track of the rising melody or the message. As opposed to massive wubs for the sake of wubs. Netherlands I'd disagree as being boring, simply unusual to see in the eurovision. I'm not just saying they should have won because they were different, I'm saying they should have won because they were good! The chemistry was good, the song good, the set wasn't opulent, the whole thing kept my attention in a vice grip without loud noises or flashing lights, its soft and sonorous piece drawing you closer into the spinning cameras that wouldn't fucking stop revolving [which is not their fault in any case :P]. Hungary's combination of soul and D&B was also quite a surprise, I thought their's was quite all right. I loved how fun Iceland was, and they were singing about a message that of course is always good for Eurovision. Germany had a pink-alike, though her song dragged on just a little and was close to being perfect for its genre.
Despite everything though, booing Russia/whenever Russia got points was just wrong and it makes me effin sad.
Would have been cool and possibly a symbolic blow to the face at Russia if Ukraine won. Not that it would have affected anything.Awarding Eurovision hosting rights to Ukraine with its rather dire financial situation would be incredibly cruel. They would have to either hold the Eurovision on a shoestring or ask the EU for money.
Wait, Australia isn't in Europe! If they can win, why can't America!?[/joke]You mean Austria, right?

I think that UK's poor performance at Eurovision is connected with the UK's entries being automatically admitted into the final (due to Britain being a founding member of EBU and all that). They just aren't trying much.(http://i.imgur.com/75pBROR.png)

Personally i didn't care about the EV contest for quite some time but i came upon some funny info.We've got a lot of expat Poles here, so that's not surprising. As for Austria, it's the average that counts. Someone who got ranked 3rd by jury and audience can beat one that got 1st and 20th which averages to 11th place.
Poland had 1'st place in the UK among audience but given last place bu the jury and t translated to 11'th place while austria got 3'rd place among both viewers and jury and it somehow translated to 1'st place.
How did they even count that?
It's also funny how political corectness affects even a stupid pop competition.

I really think you are reading too much into this. It's not like people vote on acts because they think they "represent Europe", or like the winner is supposed to in any way it shape. Remember Lordi, for Christ's sake.

Also the moustache song is still stuck in my head. The more I hear it the better it gets. France knew not to take it too seriously, they deserved many more votes.Imagine if UK had sent Dead Cat Bounce's Every time you shave a moustache dies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjPcW88sLCg), and Poland The Figo Fagot Brothers' A gdybym zgolił wąs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHHSVoiTwRg) ('And if I shaved my moustache' - the lyrics include such gems as "one night, one sex - afterwards only AIDS", "at worst you'll get a d&c" and "experience has taught: safest is in the mouth").

Also Palestine is in there. I read something a couple weeks back about how the flag in their act got banned and they REALLY REALLY wanted their flag in there. It was blocked due to a general ban on various flags and symbols for political and other reasons. Also the Basque flag was blocked as well, and apparently that flag is a constitutional flag of Spain, so the article mentioned them complaining as well.

Perhaps people just voted for the song, disregarding politics(when it came to Russia's song). For once.
There's two things at work:Yeah, Azerbaijan and Belarus (those Russian satellites) gave Russia maximum 24 points, though Azerbaijan also gave Ukraine lots of points as well.
- Voting blocks along cultural ties (for example, the UK will almost always give Ireland 12 points and Ireland give UK 8 points), the Balkanites and Austria are pretty close nit, the Nordic countries buff each other up with 12s all the time so Swedan and Norway get mad 12 points)
- The judges will vote you for "brave" messages their 12 points, if you maximize diversity points prepare to get enriched with the points
You need to join State by State. This way you will have more votes for winning.

Ukraine gave 12 points to Russia because we have enough politically obsessed pro-Russian who are happy to spend some money to vote twenty times from each sim card they have. :)
Ukraine gave Russia's song full points, because the whole Eastern/Southern half of Ukraine is pro-Russian and thus evidently has voted for Russia, while the Western half of Ukraine had its vote defocused and spread over many countries, because they don't really have a preference for any given country in Europe.I don't think that's how it works.

Now that Russia is out of the contest due to Yugoslav-tier petty nationalist bickering, the big question arises - who will vote for whom in the former USSR?

And Belarus were shit. Sounded like a song from a new Disney movie set in Africa.Still better than all the shit Belarus have sent to ESC over the past years. :-\
Moldova forgot you can't force memes. Netherlands actually made someone here fall asleep. Hungary pretty Magyar, 10/10. Italy's song was catchy, had a gorilla (why?). Yet to see something really noteworthy
According to our commentators, it's because of the song being about how we in the west are getting stupider and soon apes will be smarter than us.Romania iirc. Also commentators usually bullshit for bants
I voted for the yodeling group. I can't remember what country it was.
The hosts have made me cringe so hard today, holy shit. What were the organizers thinking?Belarus, Italy, Hungary had its niche, France, UK and Germany were good if not terribly catchy, Croatia 2 4 1d it and... Yeah. Ukraine's symphony was sick
Also, the only redeeming quality of all top songs this year is "Compared to the rest, we're actually good!". On their own, all the songs are absolutely awful.
As always Eurovision gives us an insight in the world of ass-kissing and corruption.
I particularly liked how Ukraine just flat out refused entry to the Russian entry.
Another jewel was the Spanish entry that won their national selection by coming in 3rd in the popular vote, but was chosen by the "professional" jury anyway because they had a (documented) personal interest in the entry they choose.
And who can forget Greece and Cyprus giving each other 12 points again? They have only done so in 18 out of 19 times since the introduction of televoting.

Tbh I think that Spanish Eurovision has always leaned in towards being bullshit.
Eg: The reason why juries can override the popular vote was that for a couple of years people at forocoches (something on the lines of Spain's 4chan/ebaumsworls... really big) coordinated voting campaigns to get joke performers sent to Eurovision. (Just google 'Rodolfo chiquilicuatre'.). And the reason they did this was that Spanish singers in Eurovision tend to either suck, make purely average songs to please everybody, or both (my general impression is that this guy was both. Hence the terrible result)
It just won't die. Why won't it die?Every year the nations of Europe rejuvenate the beast with the blood of their pop stars in order to satiate its unending appetite for attention. Legends fortell the return of the legendary Australian whose perfect moon can at last slay the beast, but in our time of greatest need, he was getting drunk in Melbourne

Gotta say, i'm amused by the vast difference between jury and people when it came to Sweden (high jury, bottom-tier people) and Denmark (low jury, top 5 people). Just goes to show that the juries don't know what they fuck they're doing. :VThe costuming choice was a tad tasteless too, I'm all for cultural exchange, but wearing the cultural dress of others to wear around how commercially 'different' you are is a dick move on many levels
To be fair to Israel though, they'd have won even without the jury votes (even though i CRINGED about the "thank you for choosing different"), so I GUESS that's a well deserved victory.
Is it that all Eurovision get so much into politics in the hosting nation or it's just here being here?

I wonder how that’ll work? Choose artists regionally? State by state? At first it’s going to be little more than a talent show like American Idol, but it does show how we’re jealous and want in on it. Maybe EuroVision could invite America into it? It’s got plenty of non-European nations in it and it’d probably be fun, so, why not?No reason not to as long as everyone's having loadsa fun.
