Izzy H Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm looking forward to this years Eurovision. We need another typed of act to take through though. Don't have any ideas as to who yet but hopefully we will do better than previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Anybody see the new Eurovison website that was launched today? C'est trés belle! Any Carola lovers here? It looks like she is in the Eurosong for Sweden....again. So she is probably going to win that. A few songs have been chosen already. Switzerland's entry is ok-ish. It's in Italian too. Albania's entry is purdy. They've all gone for the ballad this year, unfortunately. Don't listen to Armenia's entry, it's a waste of 3 minutes.

HeavenForbid Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The song was called 'Molitva' or something. Have no clue what it actually means. It was a well deserved win, but unexpected at the same time. Molitva = Destiny. I love that song. You can get the English version on youtube and also it can be downloaded on iTunes. I wanna download it but my mam will kill me if I download anymore songs using her credit card! Can't wait for Eurovision this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 ^ This almost made it to Eurovision... And THIS is a potential entry for Poland. Quite a good song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksthehottest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Molitva actually means Prayer but the English song is renamed Destiny definitely wasn't about performance haha thats true it definatley wasn't about that I cant wait for Eurovisiion this year. It should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 ^I'm quite excited about it too. Eurovision week is always great fun! I finish school on the 16th May, so I'll be well able to watch the shows and study at the same time. For the first time ever, Ireland are holding a Eurosong like most other European countries. It's so much better than having one band perform songs and we have to pick the best song, even if we hate the artist. We don't have to listen to Pat 'the plank' Kenny anymore. Yay! I really hope Iceland get to the finals this year, I feel so sorry for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenForbid Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 How does that Eurosong thingy work? I don't get it.. Do we have to go into the Semi Final's? I can't remember what points we got.. EDIT: I just checked... We came last! with a whole 5 points from Albania! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Who won this year? I don't remember. Exactly! I found last years winner quite dreary.....Scooch were robbed!! And Carola again?! I loved her last entry so lets hope she gets through again with something equally amazing...! This new format confuses me....if only 5 countries have automatically qualified does that mean that only the winner from last year automatically qualifies along with the "big four"?

Cal Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Okay, here is how the format works. 5 countries are in the final - UK (technically, that's 4 countries ), Germany, Spain, France and Serbia. Every other country is then in a semi-final. There are 2 semi's this year. Your state broadcaster can only air the semi-final that you are in. 9 songs in each semi-final are selected by tele-voting, but a back-up jury picks 1 song to go through to the final also, so the 10 are through. (Don't worry, I've just confused myself too) When the whole contest is over, next years finalists will be the 'big four' and this years winner. Every other country has to go through the semi-finals next year regardless of their position on the score board. How does that Eurosong thingy work? I don't get it.. It's quite a detailed format, and I know I can't explain it well All info is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Um, has anybody seen the Turkish entry? I find it weird that they send girls with hardly any clothes to these contests, but if they reveal themselves (like they do at this contest) on the streets of Turkey... they get put in to jail.... Maybe Turkey has changed over the past few years, but I find it strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
