Finland's entry is fucking horrible. This may actually be one of the worst songs I've ever heard and I'll be genuinely surprised if we make it to the final.

What kind of embarrassment is your country putting forward this year?
 
The annual shittest music competition ever. An event where all of Europe gang up on GB & NI with tactical voting making us finish last thus giving them around 30 minutes of smugness before realising the whole thing has in fact been crap.

See I can't stand this attitude. Ireland and the UK always give each other top points but that's not "tactical", France always throws England something meaty too, Cyprus and Greece do the same, that's not "tactical", but when oh-no-******-from-the-east Slavic countries that share a language or used to be part of a larger country and so share a culture vote for each other, that is "tactical"? All the voting in the contest is as biased no matter where it's coming from; the trouble is that most countries put up an entry that's fun and draws extra votes beyond the nations that share cultural bonds and the UK continually decide not to play ball, to put up sheer awful entries like Andrew Lloyd Webber or Blue and wonder why they're not popular in a contest they don't seem to understand.
 
Finland always give their points to Sweden. Sweden's entry could be a dog eating its own **** and Finland would be like 12 POINTS: SWEDEN

Exactly. Even when Ireland put up fucking Jedward, the UK gave it huge points because it was an entry they'd seen on their TV shows, heard on their radio stations, etc, because there's a communal anglosphere identity there. That's just as "tactical" as the Scandinavian nations doing it, or the former Yugoslav nations, or the Balkans, or Austria/Germany, or Italy/Switzerland, etc. The key is knowing you'll get those points anyway, and trying to appeal beyond that base, not to it.

I really liked Norway's entry last year. I found Loreen to be..douchey. Can girls be douchey? My favorite, though. was Spain. Hands down the best singer in the entire contest.

Don't put yourself down too much. You didn't produce Jedward or that bunch of geriatric Russian troglodytes.

or that song from Moldova last year that was very much just an ode to the dude's penis and has some of the worst Engrish ever. "You never seen before how looks the trumpet".
 
Cheer up, Jaana : Finland won't be last 'cause the last sport, as usual, belongs to France

Not that I care much about this competition, or some of the UK's previous entries of boybands and already established singers etc, but I was under the impression there was a lot of political scoring.

I was also under the impression that the UK don't often receive top marks from Ireland, or always receive something meaty from France.

2012...4pts from Ireland, Nil from France.
2011...5pts from Ireland, 1pt from France.
2010...4pts from Ireland, Nil from France.

^ Can't be arsed looking back any further. They are just the last 3 years, not great marks/12 there.

Our song this year sucks, too. It's same style as Loreen last year. :facepalm:

They just think they'd have a chance, because Cascada is known all over Europe. But that doesn't mean they'll give you points if your song sucks! :hammer:
