Eurovision Song Contest 2006
 

Next saturday, may 20th, the time has come for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens.
What do You think about? Who will win this Year? Will Germany get the opportunity to get NOT the last place???

This Year we will take part with the country band "Texas Lightning" and the song "No No Never" an interessting country song.

I posted this comment on here, way back in 2004 and then repeated it in 2005 and both years i was correct.

So here are my voting predictions:

Our song this year is very different compared to the years before! I really like it, although I´m not a country-fan.
But You can build you own opinion (actually the lyrics dont fit the song, it´s more different than You expect):

Germany's finest moment was 99 Red Balloons, if the song isn't similar to that, then it doesn't stand a chance. Russia will win the Eastern European countries need their gas supply.

Pud :twisted:

Don´t wanna distroy Your illusions Pud, but Nena´s balloons were never on the contest.
We won once, that was 82 Nicole with "Ein bisschen Frieden" (a little peace).
The problem is that nearly every of our songs were written by Ralph Siegel, and now complete new people are performing. Believe me, it´s very different to all of our song´s that ever took part.

Hot damn you're right :oops: That song sucked but every other song in the Eurovision that year sucked as well. You should have had 99 Red Balloons in the Eurovision, that would have won :D

Just listened to the German song for 2006 and I quite like it. Seems Ralph Siegel has gone over to the Swiis side this year and that song sucks big time.

Pud :twisted:

What do you think about Lordi from Finland? :D

haven´t heard it yet.

Does anybody know something about the "scandal" in the semi-final? Just read the headline.

Lordi are crap, I can't believe they got through the semi final stage.

Not too sure what the scandal is, I know the Greeks were a little p*ssed off with the Icelandic entry for some reason.

HOWEVER, if you're wanting some really good scandal, the Croatian entry Severina Vuckovic did an home made porn movie, kinda like the Paris Hilton one.

Pud :twisted:

my one day a year when i don't need a alibi to sneak of to the pub with my mates :lol: :lol:

Why do you think that Lordi is crap.. I think they´re good.. And they went into final.. :lol:

Tomorrow we´ll see...

(that the sentence "germany, 12 points" will be said by nearly everyone!!!)

LORDI

Great songs - great image - my vote is with them. Although there entry is not as strong as thIer other singles.



GO LORDI
GO LORDI
GO LORDI

People, do one big thing for all Your German friends around here:

Vote tomorrow for No No Never by Texas Lightning!!!!

Please!
Thank You!

As I heard we are the secret favorite this year! Hope that it´s true!

I notice you're Finnish, hardly an unbiased opinion for the Finnish entry. I admire the fact that NOTHING like them has ever gone before on Eurovision, but the song truly is bloody awful.

I'd vote for them if I could, then UK because I quite like that one as well. I hope Lithuania does well, just for the fact of having a song called 'We Are The Winners' shows ambition :D

Pud :twisted:

Well Done Lordi :yay: :yay:

Congratulations from a person, whose country is #15 (way ahead from last year!)
:cheer::cheer::cheers::cheer::cheer:

Although I usually don't like rap I think Daz should have done wayy better last night, it was a fun song. Shame on Netherlands and Germany giving 12 points to Turkey. Very biased if you ask me!
They should change the voting system I think. Just a jury of experts from each country judging on the music, not where they are from; the way the system stands now means that Russia will always get loads of points, it doesn't make sense.

As far as I know there was a jury in some countries some years ago. I think that it´s the best way how it is.
It´s not a contest about the best music, but about the song that europe likes most.
btw, I voted for finland, too. I didn´t like the performance, but the song is great! (got a little bit of the monster ;-))
I am satisfied with the result.

Found this on the Times newspaper website just now:

"Lordi, frontman for the band which takes his name, grew up as an only child in Finnish Lapland with a love of fake blood.
He was dubbed the “Bat out of Helsinki” before the show, from Meat Loaf’s song Bat Out of Hell."

:lol: :shock: :twisted:

I agree. If everything was equal UK and Germany should have done a lot better, because their songs were better.

Eurovision has definitely gone down a route of political biased. Russia got maximum points from Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Armenia :roll: Greece got their obligatory 12 points from Cyprus :shock: And Bosnia & Herzegovina got maximum points from Albania, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Serbia & Montenegro and Slovenia...hmm I wonder where they're geographically situated :roll:

I'd like to see a panel of expert judges voting, instead of the public.

Pud :twisted:

Hell has frozen over
 

There´s joke in Finland that when we going to win Eurovision Song Contest Hell freezes over.. So Hell has frozen over.. :lol: (I know that Eagles made comeback even they said that "Hell freeze over" before they do that.. That´s why one of their album is Hell Freeze over..)

But there was lots of nice songs.. Germany´s song.. I like country music.. And Russian song was very nice.. But unfortunately most of the song was awful.. Especially almost every song after Lordi.. Except Irish song.. They can make wonderful songs..

First my openion: I don't like Lordi at all its not singing what they do. Youre line about shame on the netherlands...youre rigt, the dutch jury does not vote for the best song, but 'who do we have te keep as a friend'. But... there are more countrys who do that, allready for years. Lordi the winner is a surprise, thats for sure! I don't think that this is taken seriously, its al about money, and stay friends... thats my opinion.

I thought the Irish song was --->:shit: made me want to eat a plate of raw sprouts. It was too boring, just like nearly every other Irish Eurovision song thats gone before it. And I don't know what the big deal about Belgiums entry either, that deserved to get kicked out of the semi's :zzz:

Who was the fat Dutch presenter? making all sorts of innuendo's with the fancy pants Greek fellow.

Pud :twisted:

That's Paul de Leeuw, quite a funny Dutch guy/gay, but can be quite rude at times.
Terry Wogan's comments about him were a bit stupid I thought and ill-informed.

I thought it was rather refreshing having someone breaking up the continuation of the boring points stuff that went on for hours it seemed.

Indeed I'm taking more note of the Dutch points than others cuz I lived in Holland for 19 years and think the Dutch taste for music (ie Meat Loaf) is better than showing it off by giving 12 points to Turkey each year (I think it has been like that for the past 4 years or so)! The old problem of televoting heh?

I personally thought the show was quite good (up until the voting) with quite a bit of varied music this time.
