What do you think about Denmark winning? Did you vote/would you have voted for her?
I think she had a good song, but I didn't think it was as good as the previous is or that it was that better than the other songs in the contest.

It wasnt the best one there. I don't know what was tbqh.
I don't vote because I feel like my vote just doesn't mean anything on these TV shows.
Lol it actually does. If everyone thought like you, no one would ever vote. xD This probably wasn't the case because Denmark won by lots, but one vote can make the difference.Quote:

Yeah, Norway did really good. I was too busy looking at those 5 feet hips in that thin dress though so when she performed I didn't really listen to the song. xDQuote:

UK should of won lol... why dont e ever just pick a good singer thats famous, not people who are old and unknown///
Uh..excuse me? Bonnie Tyler, unknown? She has been nominated for 3 Grammys, has won Best Singer in 78, ComeBack Of The Year in 83, Best International Singer in 93. She was nominated for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Single, winning Best Selling Single in 84 with Total Eclipse Of The Heart, just one of the best love songs ever! She won in 99 the Lifetime Rock International award and in 2005, Lifetime Award.Quote:

but shes not a popular singer, i have heard of her before but shes no adele... shes also not the best singer and the song was **** tbhQuote:

She is not adele, but there is a HUGE step between being adele to being unknown. She is a really good singer and the song, I agree it should at least have been one of the grammy nominated ones.Quote:

As for the UK, we don't even choose who we pick anymore :P

It's against the rules to perform an old song, has to be brand new for Eurovision.Quote:

Getting a more recent person would have definitely been a wiser choice though. I hope we EVENTUALLY LEARN THAT AND DO IT NEXT YEAR.
If they did ask, the decision probably wouldn't even get through their management to the singer itself. And plenty of people your age know who Bonnie Tyler is.Quote:

Looks like a good choice to represent the UK in Europe to me...
But real popular current singers who arnt people who have #1 hits in the 90s or whatever are better js... unless its like mama cass, but shes dead and americanQuote:

Well, since I don't run the Eurovision and have nothing to do with it, it's very unlikely I will get someone... and an American can be the person who represents UK? :LQuote:

People on Twitter would have gathered this from my raging on the night :P
She was really good imo, but not as good as some.
It's not true 'eurovision' style either.. like waterloo was fun, like eurovision should be. People are taking it too serious now
Personally I feel like people take it less seriously now than they used too. See 2006 for example.Quote:

@Skandair; even with a good act our chances of winning would be fairly low. We certainly wouldn't pick somebody like Adele to do it as the show isn't for her and she'd probably be ridiculed and taken less seriously.
Rylan for next years Eurovision.
Little Boots said she's up for Eurovision next year, and her music style is quite similar to what we've seen in Eurovision in recent years.
Everyone hates Britain :'( But the show would be more interesting if it was Adele ;)Quote:

2012 - Loreen. Brilliant.
Denmarks song wasn't the best but it did well, my personal favourite was France.
The UK should just pull out of Eurovision we will never win
What are you even on about? Most people that take part in Eurovision aren't famous worldwide. That's not even being discussed?Quote:
