Eurovision 2008: Belgrade, Serbia.

[Cal]

Ha, I love all this controversy over the turkey. Apparently, we are treating the contest as a joke. Sorry to break it to those who think that, but it is a joke... and it has been for years. Bloc voting (which isn't just the East is happening. UK -> Ireland. Sweden -> Norway. Spain -> Andorra.) is such a thing in it right now. Might as well not bother with a good song, it won't even get far.

If the song was still entered, minus the actual puppet, nobody would care. People must remember, there is somebody in the actual box singing while holding a puppet...

Don't get me started on the voting. Every year we gave 10 or 12 points to the Netherlands, and every single year their song is pure crap

I don't mind if people send something a bit more crazy, I wish we would do it too, but all the crazy things get voted out

[Homeandaway_fan1]

I got to tell you, Sweden started voting crazy this year on weird songs, that would never had gone to the final 3 or 4 years ago, not even last year.

I will post about semifinal 2 and three later today, I will try atleast.

Okey here is a quick update on the Swedish competition

From the second semi-final

Sanna Nielsen - Empty Room

Rongedals - Just a Minute

went to the Final and

Johnson & Häggkvist (Carola)- One Love

Ola- Love in Stereo

went to the second chans I personally thought that Sanna had a good song, but I think that Andreas and Carola should have gone to the final instead of Rongedals that didnt have a good song.

The third semi-final

BWO- Lay your love on me

Frida Ft. Headline- Upp & Hoppa

went to the final and

Therese Andersson- When you need me

Caracola- Smiling in love Went to the second chans

I didnt like Frida Ft. Headlines song at all, not my taste.

Tomorrow is the last semifinal where Charlotte Perelli winner of Eurovision 1999 competes she has a great song. There are allot of good songs tomorrow which are unusual sense the most semifinal only have 2 or three songs that are good, but Charlotte are my absolute favourite tomorrow.

Charlotte sings the song Hero it is even better then the one she won with.

Listen to tomorrows songs here:

Charlotte Perelli made it to the final as I thought and she will problably be hard to beat in the Final.

Charlotte Perelli-" Hero"

Plus two more.

Here are the ones we can choose from

Suzzie Tapper-" Visst Finns Mirakel"

Sibel- " That Is where I`ll Go"

Nordman-" I lågornas Sken"

Johnson och Häggkvist -" One Love"

Ola-"Love in Stereo"

Therese Andersson- " When you need me"

Caracola-" Smiling in love"

[Cal]

Seriously, the Swedish selections are way too long! I hope you guys send a good song. Sweden always have good ones!

[Homeandaway_fan1]

I agree, I think we have far to long competition, I think two semifinals should be the most.

But I am glad the final are here soon, it will be fun to see if Carola is in the final and if anyone will beat Charlotte she has the best song I think it is even better then the one she won with in 1999 if people liked that then they should like this one to.

How did the U.K final go? Post as soon as you can.
