    is this evening. What's your opinion?

    Before, it was fun, but then some countries in East Europe have voted for themself, for example 6 or 7 countries were one country before the 1990s, then had a war, split in many small countries and now vote for themself in the Eurovision Song Contest. of course this is not correct at all, and also, most songs are absolutely terrible.

    My country (Belgium) isn't in the final, mostly it's totally useless LOL. Therefore I am completely impartial except I don't like Romania, therefore I hope that it doens't win.

    What a pity that they sing in English, mostly.

    This year the competition is in Copenhagen. If you want, you can watch it online http://www.eurovision.tv/page/webtv

    I'm happy that she has won, her song was the only good one, and her voice was nice. also she seemed to have some humility and didn't shout. i hate the ones who scream when they win.

    Poland and France were so bad that we have laughed :D and therefore I included them in my top four LOL Holland's song was ok, second after Austraia, but i didn't hear the first ones.

    Spain and Sweden were torture for my ears. i cant' udnerstand why some people voted for those screechy ladies. :eek:

    It was always like that. Eurovision was traditionally just a big diplomatic thing, and why shouldn't it be? Isn't it nice that these countries can now show some solidarity with each other instead of exchanging small-arms fire?
