Its time for the half time show!

Post by oogleman »

While we can`t afford USA superbowl style mega artistes for the half time show - we in Europe do our own slightly eccentric version of it.


Ladies & gentlemen - might be no championship footie on telly but .... saturday night its the Eurovision song contest!! If you fancy a bet you can lose your hard earned cash on UK entry @ 150/1 . My pick for finishing last lol

My idea of the winner is this young chap from Austria who was on the voice UK 5 years ago.. Hes currently 11/4 second favourite.




You couldnt make it up!!

For any red blooded males who like da frauleins mit big boobies and legs up in the air riding fireworks and big bouncy spacehoppers these 2 are for you - see last 30 secs in each video especially.

(who cares what price they are)

My mom too...when she'd had a few vodkas she would sing the whole bloody song over and over.

I hated it from that day and still could not bear to listen to it.

Alot of very crap songs on show

IMO the UK song isn't half bad

I used to sing semi-pro so I know what I'm talking about.

Unfortunately most people are tone deaf! :lol:

On first hearing, I quite like Malta

But I've not heard enough to make a firm verdict

I remember Wogan remarking when he saw the Moldovan lady singer with the waist of her nickers hiked above her trousers that "She must be labouring under the misapprehension the she was performing in the Eurovision THONG contest."

My entry was "The spy who loved tea" based on a song from the second world war. Perhaps it was the fake posh accent, or not enough sex but it never got pasts the selection committee... or it was rejected for cultural appropriation since playing a plastic ukulele from the 50's is an infringement on Hawaiian heritage.

Winner reminds me of the type of singing done by Sigur Ros, that high castrato voice.
