Congratulations - Eurovision's 50th anniversary - Round two

[jawnbc]

OK! We lost 3 entries last round. Was is the dulcet tones of singing in German that scuttles Nicole to Euro-oblivion? Is this just not Johnny Logan's Another Year? Might Lady Sir Cliff have to pitch yet another Xmas single for any sense of Congratulations in 2005?

Pish, posh, 'tis all water under the bridge now. Is schlager, haggard? Feeling beaten up by thumping pop beats? Have sugary sounds necessitated a does of insulin, stat? It's time to vote for your favourite of the remaining 11 entries! Lines are now open!

[Poll #577723]

Greeks are obsessive about this shit and live everywhere. Had Antiques "Die for You" been the song, I could sorta live with that. But not "My Number 1"

I don’t know. It’s kind of nice to have a Greek winner after all these years. Sure, it’s basically warmed-over imitation ABBA, but I prefer it to bloody Charlotte and her plastic tits anyday (or, for that matter, Bobbysocks and their “it’s basically “Waterloo” with different lyrics, horrible 80’s production values and the “whoa-oh-oh-oh” bit taken out).

I doubt it really will win, though, unless all the voters are 11 years old.

Darned Danes. I really like "fly on the wings of lurve" but am still perplexed how it romped to victory in 2000. Could the peculiarities of televoting mean a repeat?

It’s OK. I’m certain no one could have predicted it would win, it certainly doesn’t sound like the sort of tune that wins Eurovision. And I know a number of people who absolutely hate it. But I’m OK with it.

Still, I prefer “Dansevise”, even if it only won because the Norwegian jury cheated.
