OK that first comment I believe was one Darran tried to make in the hockey thread and then the second one was me but I was trying to post that in the hockey thread.
Anyway, since the gremlins seem to be somewhat tamed (though click on your username and see where it takes you) I would like to return to my original query:
What do the European boardies think of Eurovision? |

A random guy from the crowd just jumped onstage and started dancing with them I think. The Spanish guy demanded that he be allowed sing again...so he did at the end.
I used to love it when I was younger, but I just find Eurovision depressing now. And I didn't appreciate having to watch it on my birthday! :( |

I read an article saying there was a lot of criticism for how expensive it is. How many nights does it air? Why is it so expensive? And can't the country/station (who foots the bill exactly) make the money back through ads and such?
I listened to the song that won. I wish I could have those 4 minutes back. |

Well in Turkey, the national TV (TRT) chooses a singer/band and wants him/her to compose a new song. He/she usually composes at least 3, and then a jury of this channel chooses the best one. |

is it normally a very well known person/band? or someone up and coming that no one has heard of? |

I read that other people composed the winning POS song. I thought part of it was that you had to compose it yourself.
Edit: Clearly did not process travisturkey's response when I wrote this

It is normally a very famous singer/band although with a few exceptions in certain years. However , that is probably because Turkey takes Eurovision very seriously somehow :s |

I knew there were switeroos at the begining, but I just noticed now that it actually says you are in teh hey hey hockey fans thread while you are in there. Oh board. I dont know what I would do it you were normal!
But what I came to say is, if these pictures are any indication, im so sad to have never seen this competition

So it is kinda like the olympics and american idol got together and had some drug filled orgy? |
