I'm not completely sure, but I think this is the official (?) video from the Greek final, the winner performing in a shopping mall...

They don't go all out for this if this is indeed the final... Booo at you Greece! Shopping mall...

I don't know about this song, I have to re-listen with more umph stereo quality, so far I only listened via my work computer and it sounds bad.

Umm, you really think the new owners of Greece would approve of something high budget?  

I have to say it's already grown on me.  I had the tune stuck in my head.  It's very Eurovision, easy to remember, sexy and teasy.  I think it'll easily make it into the finals.

Come on dalThor! It's the national final for the Eurovision we're talking about here!

If you can't even spend your last Euros on Eurovision... Where is the world heading... *shakes head*
Let the pension funds go dry I say, they need more glamour.


I wonder what they'll do if they win the whole shebang? Should we even vote for them or would we then be contributing to emptying their health-care budget?

I think it's safe to say Greece won't be getting 12 points from Germany.

I love how Eurovision is the only thing that brings Squid out of retirement.

Someone has to support the underdogs! Like Austria.
Ok, maybe not Austria. That was just awful.

Edit: Now, Romania. That's more like it. Bagpipes, accordion, bow tie. Pure win.

Kudos to Austria for putting clothes on the strippers
What are they thinking!!!


Romania delivered though, that was pretty good methinks. Not at all hard to look at, folkmusic influence, makes me want to jump up and down, yup it's good.

And not from Finland either...

Am I the only one creeped out by the Greek thing? The lyrics, the moves, her shoes, her ridiculously short skirt and the camera angle and being groped quite a lot by the dancers...it's somehow tipped over from sexy and empowered into dirty exploitation.

I quite like Euro Neuro from Montenegro. What happened at the EV before Yugoslavia fell apart anyway?

[Loose seal]

France's entry is so disappointing

So far, my vote would go for Romania

Why has nobody mentioned the San Marino Facebook song?  It's like you're all taking this seriously or something.

Because I'd not heard about it. Now that I've watched it, I think the Eurovision people are doing everyone a favour by banning it.

[Happy Ent]

I’ve spent some time understanding the Austrian lyrics (which are in heavily accented Austrian dialect).

I get maybe 90% of it now. Charming.

Which is exactly why I think it's going to do well.  The song itself is pretty catchy, the rest is just the shameless EV grab for the 'I'd hit that' votes.

Sorry, Date.  :/

Huh, I thought it was the new internet phenomenon!

Anyway, they didn't ban it they only banned commercial promotion of facebook.  Theyre still going ahead with a new even more awesome version.

Old facebook song

New even more awesome generic social network song

Engelbert will destroy San Marino. Despite his song.

Azerbaijan had to build a stadium for this event. I for one am very interested in seeing how that works out.

Euro Neuro is great! Almost a bit Zappa-like at times.

Getting into the Eurovision frame of mind now. About time with less than a week to go! I think the semis are tuesday and thursday this time around so really just two more days now...

Don't be. At least not for this. We've managed to maintain quite a standard over the last decades, so at least we're consistent. Even if it is consistently sucking monkey-balls.

(I thought this was the Euro 2012 thread, but apparently I need glasses)
