Lost Video Island

Yep, it's that time of year again
But as I recall it, we had a pretty fun discussion over here last year
Well, anyway, I suppose many of you guys know about this contest.
If you don't, Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is short for "the most entertaining freaks, outfits, performances, "songs",
and dances you can find in Europe".
Not. Seriously, it's just a fun mediocre and spectacular way to keep 200 millions of viewers throughout the world entertained during one week in May each year.
This year, the contest takes place in Belgrade, Serbia.

Here are the (in my opinion) most outstanding participants... the best and the worst. Have fun.
P.S. Ireland rules

YAY! Can't wait!! I'm gonna do a live commentry on msn xDD hehe.

God, the UK entry last year was SO embarassing. I knew one of the guy's from this crappy reality TV show. The song was awful >_< But cool! It's actually not bad this year xD

[Charmed_Charlee]

Lol, I liked Andy the best from the people participating this year

[savage_anna]

my best real life friend living in Belgrade, so I'm totally happy that contest taking place in my favorite Serbia

I have seen yet only Russian entry (obviously LOL )...and it sucks ...so I'm hoping for someone else to win (I know sounds not very patriotically LOL). I just HATE the fact that we we bringing AGAIN second bloody time Dima Bilan..meh..that was so many other GREAT songs around when Russia was chosing who will represent us this year, and I just never will believe that his won was fair ...lame song, and his english pronounce is TERRIFIC...if someone will watch his entry, especially on word "Impossible", damn, my 11 years old brother can said it without such accent

will watch others entries lately of course , I'm sure other countries have some good songs this year:)

Lol.
I think over the years I love some of the entries but hate some aswell. I laughed so much the other year when the UK got nothing lmao with Gemini I was like who voted for them to represent the UK anyway lol.

[savage_anna]

Deja..yeah I remember that Lordi won LOLLLLLLLLLZZZZZ...crazy rock/gothic/whatever their style is group ...that year I was really supporting Bilan, 'cause song "Never let you go" was really nice , plus I was liking his perfomance....but with his song for this year...I dunno, it just VERY medley, made me wanna sleep and I just really don't think that perfomance could be that great with such song..will see though

and Charlie, I have the same thing, in previous years for some Russia winners I was like - "Who can choose smth like That????!" LOL...I know very long time ago (like 10 years or so) we were even sending our 55 years old woman-singer, and her style of singning is still stuck in 70-s

LOL! I remember that, even though it was like 5 years ago she sang SO out of TUNE! here's a reminder, lol

Personally I'm kinda fed up with the fact that my country can't get out of the "schlagersound" for every year, for example Fame or Carola ... always the same, pretty lame pop songs, in the end. I liked our entry last year, but they ended up veeeery bad in the results lists.


About Dima Bilan, I like him! he's hot, lol. No but seriously, his song back in 2006 bcame a big hit and it was way better than this year's actually...

LORDI rules

I like it, but it irritates me because it isn't about the music anymore, it's all about politics!

Lol, I think it's changed alot with the meaning than when it first started.

[Jemmz]

It has! It's hardly about the music anymore, it's who entertains the most and yeah, politics. It's so funny how the countries always vote for their "friends" or w/e
