Even though I live in Australia, I absolutely love Eurovision. I've seen some Europeans here and there, so someone other than myself has to know about Eurovision!

What is Eurovision? It's like those Idol/Talent shows, except on a continent-wide basis (Europe) and about performing songs. ABBA and epic sax guy obtained their worldwide fame and Internet meme success respectively.

Eurovision Song Contest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For those who know what I'm talking about; who were your favourites this year? Were you confused as much as I was when Azerbaijan were the winners?

My favourites had to be
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Romania: Hotel FM - Change (Semi-Final 2)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Ukraine: Mika Newton - Angel (Final)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Iceland: Sjonni's Friends - Coming Home (Final)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Italy: Raphael Gualazzi - Madness Of Love (Final)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Moldova: Zdob
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Sweden: Eric Saade - Popular (Semi-Final 2)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Switzerland: Anna Rossinelli - In Love For A While (Final)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Estonia: Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street (Final)
YouTube - HD Eurovision 2011 Ireland: Jedward - Lipstick (Final)

Most of the videos have commentary and a little intro; you can skip to 40 seconds in.

Was a solid show, loved the stage tho with the massive screen on the back etc.

Good songs did jumped by. But still its kinda retarded how bad the vote system still is. country's voiting for eachother specially those eastern country's are getting old fast.
And there are way to much eastern country's these days.

The one that won i didn't found anything special tho, and even number 2 was kinda meh.

Still good show, pahethic results like usual.

I watched it (with liberal use of the fast forward button at times) and I have to agree with the voting being flawed. I thought Blue (UK) was the best song, but I would say that being from the UK myself .

And as for Ireland and Jedward, man I can't stand those little Pr*cks, so annoying.

The most entertaining part for me was Graham Norton's commentary!

Ukraine's performance was my favourite. Erik Saade is so annoying though, I can't believe he came 3rd (nearly 2nd) with that crap song. Though on the other hand, Azerbaijan didn't deserve to win either. Especially not since the girl can't sing.

I will be popular i will be popular. nananaanana im gonna get you popular. WhateveR :P

"I will be popular, I will be popular, I'll get you when I'm popular" he just admitted he's shallow xD

Hahahahahahahah, Eric Sadeee. Omg. The girls in our school loves himm xD

I wonder if they still love him after him admitting in front of millions of viewers that he had to take a dump? xD

quess we got different taste, i found those little pr*cks actually pretty entertaining. But i could see how people find them ennoying ( specially the host from our country that constantly was whining about how ennoying they where got old fast ).

Good luck our country didn't go any further tho, we always send in pieces of trash.

Blue shouldn't have won in my opinion. As they only had the name. The presentation was poor and the singing wasn't anything near decent. They just had names. but that was it.

Ukraine i found actually really bad, maybe its just me not liking those numbers. but the sand painting on the back was fun to see tho. The number was just bad and the singer.

I found germany actually the better candidate tho. but i'm not suprised that they didn't ended up high as you need to like stuff like that.

Cant really remember much els anymore tho.

i thought jedward were the best acts
