The Official After Hours Eurovision Final MegaThread [Sweden Wins]

Mint Sauce

Well good people of after Afters Hours, tonight Jedward begin their quest to totally bankrupt the country by qualifying from the Eurovision semi final, to take part in the final this Saturday night, and win the whole damn thing. Unless you have been living under a rock, this is what they are subjecting mainland europe to...

But this is not just about our lovable twins, its everything about our guilty pleasure, the one thing we all love to hate, ITS EUROVISION!!! After hours stylie.

Where To

Awwww I was so looking forward to this but I promised the next door neighbour I would castrate his cat this evening

rock and roll kids in 1994 was probably the best ever eurovision song

El Guapo!

The Eurovision is the worst thing ever inflicted on mankind.
The holocaust is a close second.

These guys are inspirational.

They cannot sing; they cannot dance; but that doesn't stop them trying and now for the second time, they are representing their country in an international singing and dancing contest.

It goes to show that a positive attitude will take you far in life.

Close, ye right! The eurovision is a mile worse.

After watching this, I think the Armenia song would have been great, but they seem to have pulled out.

What timezone is Azerbaijan? This won't be on at 4 in the morning or anything no?

I'd vote that accolade to the voice by Eimear Quinn, the only eurovision song I've ever actually liked.

Was always way too good for Eurovision. Was the only Eurovision winning song that never made number one in it's country of origin, was kept of the number one spot by riverdance!

They're not singing until 1:30am (Irish time).. fook that. If it was on at 9 I might watch it in order to have a good moan

My favourite song is from 2000. 'My Star' by quirky Latvian band Brainstorm.

Armenia and Azerjiban (spelling) hate each other! Apparently people who voted last year for Armenia in protest against their government got picked up by the state police in Azerbijan and questioned quiet vigorously!

Nice one! It's actually 1:30am Azerbaijan time

I like "Sokrates" by Iceland in 1988
It didn't do very well.

Also, I liked Israel's song in 1987 - "Shir Habatlanim"
It didn't do very well either.

Its starting at 8 Irish time and jedward r on last

I watched Panorama on BBC last night, it was on the Government in Azerbaijan, pretty horrendous stuff, the country is more or less run by one super rich family.

There was a citizen last year who voted for Armenia (their sworn enemy) in the Eurovision and received a visit from the Secret Police .... no joke.

DebDynamite

Ah feck, the other half isn't working tonight, so I can't be on boards discussing it while watching. That's if he'll even let me watch it.

I've actually liked the winning songs since (and including) Lordi, apart from the butch lesbian one and last years winner.

This one is going to be remembered for years:

I remember most of the wins in the nineties but I didn't remember this one at all

Checked it out, love it

Ghey.

Didn't watch it last year but watched it all in 2010

Germany won and hard to argue with it, pretty girl, dancing, catchy tune, upbeat and puts you in a good mood

Romania were excellent

Armenia was a bit unusual but a song you'd remember, another good entry

That's enough from me

I genuinely do think they are gonna win it! The song has already charted in some countries, which has only happened I believe once in Eurovision history, and they are plastered all over telly, radio, magazines all over europe!

Last year they were asked did they think they were victims of the eastern block voting, and their answer was great, "We're not victims, We're Jedward"

And Jedward's rightful home is in the Eurovision, they're tailor made for it, catchy tune, stylish (ahem) and in yer face. Best of luck lads

Very catchy song again this year.

Interesting to see what the weirder entrants are this year.:pac:

sunflower27

I never grew up with Eurovision so I still find it so cheesy and hilarious.

I love how camp it is. It cracks me up

volvoman480

I'm looking forward to it, it's a pure cheesefest and a great laugh. Ok, there's always a couple of very weird ones but they make it worth watching. Not a huge fan of Jedward but I'm wishing the lads well for tonight, I think they're perfectly cut out for eurovision. For what it's worth, this is my all time favourite eurovision song....

This was a great one - Gina G Spot!

Ah, reminds me of school discos I linked the recorded version rarher the live performance because Gina sounds a little off singing live.

Lapin

These hosts make Tubridy and the Seoige sisters look ultra professional.

Mint Sauce

Is this a song, or a comedy act?

HeidiHeidi

Sheesh, you'd think he could've made the effort and at least washed his hair for the occasion :rolleyes:

Sexy start.... it can surely only get better from here.....
