Saturday Night - In May, it can only mean............UR-O-Vision Song Contest Time!

Ahhh remember those days years ago, when saturday night really was about going out, getting rat arsed and waking up naked with a someone elses dribble in your hair - still cant look back....

This Saturday - a quaint European custom (You know, Europe, its that bit that ruled with world before the Americans came along) called the Eurovision Song Contest explodes across the continent like a bad case of the unmentionables.

To celebrate this amazing event - which consists of the nations of Europe coming together to murder music, I am going to be hosting a party.  Theres also the most amazing prize contest in the WORLD.  If you want to come to the party, probably at my House or Street, then please drop me an IM or even just turn up - frankly i'll be so drunk on hurdy-gurdy by then i wont know anyway.

To the Contest - Pick the country you think is going to win and type it into this Forum post - Enter more than once if you like, type all of them if you really really want to - theres loads of prizes on offer and in the spirit of the contest they all suck!

So to celebrate the Contest - The Party will start at 8pm British Time (Other time zones are available ) - on my street and in my house (yes, i'll have taken anything of value like the 500 dolls out).  If you really cant wait for it (and of course you cant you cunning little Urians) - heres a link to the greatest piece of nonsense every!

Love really can set us free - unless its being sung by the elderly then its just wrong.

  • Yes, Baku in Azerbaijan, so European with its Christian Democrat Party, its Gothic architecture, its tradition of good wines and fine cheeses . . . the perfect venue.

    My vote goes with Fiji.

  • If you're being really daring - have a drink from each country when they come on the show - with any luck you'll be out stone cold by the time the pain of voting arrives.

  • OMGiants Sieneke (indeed webweaver, thanks for reminding me of last year's entry) ...... 

    *hides behind bushes*
    *rocks back and forth*
    *hugs self* 

    I'm afraid this year The Netherlands is a strong contender for the No Points / Most Cringeworthy Trophy again.

  • I would love the UK to win but the rest of Europe don't seem to like us (can't think why) so I'll plump for Turkey. Poor Englebert Humperdinck doesn't stand a chance.

    never were truer words uttered.

    My vote: Ukraine!

    ETA: Even though Ukraine wasn't actually in the running, I'm standing by them!

  • I liked San Marino, Israel, Russia and Moldova from the first semi-final. Yeah -- I embrace the bonkers ones! They break up the boring ballads and overproduced pop songs, that's for sure!

    Semi-final #1 highlights for me were: The Albanian woman who looked like an angry baby bird singing while wearing a nest on her head, and the fact Jedward came both dressed as Joffrey Baratheon.

  • @Loupin - thanks so so much for creating this post, it has made me howl with laughter in the dark day of Glitch being closed :)

    I LOBE Eurovision and Ur Parties but will be at my father-in-law's 60th on Saturday night (I know where I'd rather be...) - so although of course I would love the UK to win (which we won't) - I will vote BELGIUM - because they brought us two of the finest things in life - Belgian Chocolate and Hercule Poirot. 
    Please have several hooches for me (maybe a Jagerbomb IRL might help ease the pain of the murdered music also).

    Also @shexxy corin - GENIUS top tip - I intend to record the whole show and delight in the wonder of Eurovision lyrics!!

  • I choose Trackshittaz singing Woki Mit Deim Popo. Austrian rap music. Don't want to hear their song, but loving the title.

  • I would like to see the UK win, but Eastern Europe never vote for us. Why I do not understand, as they love living here and getting all the benefits?

  • controversial Miss M.....

    i am also aware that some people are deliberately trying to get eurovision phrases or songs into posts.   well for me thats just a nil point thing to do.  frankly i will not be treated like a puppet on a string or ill just go boom bang a bang.  you should all be making your mind up now and if you make the right choice then youll have my congratulations.  that way we can all shine a light together.  and im spent....

  • Voting for Ireland.

    I have never heard Jedward (in fact, I'm kind of afraid to listen), but going by the pictures, they are just the sort of act that will uphold the noteworthy and time-tested reputation of the infamous Eurovision Song Contest.

    Besides, Ireland invented Guinness; for that alone we can forgive them all else.
