No need to repeat the title here again. :)

So... will you watch it?

Did Portugal passed? ^^ They always go there and sing stupid songs so they never get anywhere... I heard this time they did though. Is it true?

I love this contest! :lol:
This year our representative is American - Isis Gee. Much more discussed than the event is that one music journalist suggested lately that she had switched the gender.

Back to the topic - I won't watch it.

We don't have a TV since they switched to digital broadcasting. I'd like to hear Teräsbetoni. Oh, turns out it can be found on Youtube.

Nope, in the 70's it was fun ("Waterloo"), after that it has been total nonsense.

I only came to like the contest in the recent years. Since about the time Lordi won. :lol:

How about meeting in IRC tomorrow and watching the contest together?

For the ones without TV or living in countries where the show isn't broadcasted, you can watch it live on the official website:
http://www.eurovision.tv/splash/index.html

I watched it that way myself last year when I was in Canada.

I just listened to their song and I think it may be my favorite this year.

The finalists were mentioned in Yahoo news but I can't remember all there was.

Sorry, Voltenion. I thought you would have looked it up yourself. Yes, they made it. They're starting as #13.
