So who do we think will win?
I think it's between Russia, Serbia and Armenia. As long as Russia doesn't win I'll be happy.

Are we doing a mammoth chatting session for this, or has everyone got better plans for the night?
I'm enjoying reading David's updates, but haven't been clicking on the videos. I don't really want to hear the songs before the night - I like the surprise factor.

I've avoided hearing most of the songs because I'm waiting for the Official CDTM to arrive. Should be here on Monday. Then I will pass my informed* opinion.
*by informed I mean rubbish and guaranteed to be wrong.

Boo, the Hero video is a bit rubbish:
They should have avoided close-ups of her face as well.

The Hero video is atrocious.
I think the winner will be one of: Russia, Serbia, Norway or Portugal.
I'm probably all wrong. I don't want the former 2 to win. Latter 2 all the way.
Don't forget Rad, you can chat for the 2 semi-finals too. I'll be in the audience, so I'll wave my flag at you.
EDIT: Maybe I can wave a lowculture flag?

There's a lowculture flag now!?
So when do we get an entry?

Post by Adrian on May 11, 2008 9:17:24 GMT
There isn't a Lowculture flag. We'd have to design one.
It's a better idea than one of my colleagues who suggested I wave a "I love Geography" flag. We're such nerds at work.

We should write a lowculture entry for the British selection. I think we need Lisa Scott-Lee to sing it.

Oh God, are the semi-finals this week? I am so busy this week- they better be on iplayer!

No they are the 20th and 22nd.

Post by Adrian on May 12, 2008 9:04:41 GMT
But I doubt they'll be on iPlayer. It's not a BBC show, per se. And there's a DVD to flog.

I thought last year the DVD was just of the preview videos of the entrants.

No, it had the live semi-final, final AND the preview videos of the entrants. It's great.
I bought the official CD today, big nerd that I am.

The rehearsals have started. Ani Lorak's dancers are coming out of closets!
I always have a drama at this time of year: read and delight in the rehearsal reports thus spoilering Eurovision, or ignore and savour it all brand new on the night(s).

Adrian, you know you're watching the rehearsals. Iceland are sounding AMAZING, and Charlotte has BROUGHT THE LASERS WITH HER.
The semis really are going to end up being the best bits of the whole show, aren't they?

Boo, it should be law that every Gay has the right to watch Eurovision. It's the closest thing we have to a religious festival; it is our Easter.

Adrian, you know you're watching the rehearsals. Iceland are sounding AMAZING, and Charlotte has BROUGHT THE LASERS WITH HER. I'm on a skip now. I'm away from Friday (before I get to Belgrade on Tuesday), and a week off work means busy busy tomorrow and Thursday. So no looking! Charlotte has also brought her Melodifestivalen routine. You'd think she'd change it a little.

Will she do the black & white start?

Yes.

Has she got fitter dancers?

No.

I couldn't tell if it was his rotund derriere or not. It is. Bless his little gay cotton socks, he's probably loving it.
Ooh... Will I make it my mission to get a photograph with / of him? I'm going to become a Euro-celeb-whore in Belgrade.

I've seen Dima Bilan's rehersal on YouTube. The famous Russian iceskater Plushchenko skates on the stage! It's the worst thing I've ever seen. What it if you dare:

Being a serf I do not have BBC Three therefore will not be able to view the semi-finals. Any know if they are being shown in any overly enthusiastic gay Soho gay bars at all? And if so, would anyone fancy making a night of it?
