Holy crap! When I was little, I was scared of jack-o-lanterns, thought they were going to eat me. Made my stomach get all tight.

I felt the exact same panic reaction watching the red headed singer in that German clip.

Do keep an eye on the Dope on the date of the next EVSC finals (24 May 08, Mid-Afternoon Eastern US Time), for it has become something of a tradition to open a CS thread to heckle the event as it progresses.

Yes, the Eurovision Song Contest is the campest thing on earth, but the people who chose this particular outing (public phone vote I think?) misjudged that ridiculous, artless, and smutty innuendo would clinch it. In actual fact, it did worse than anything the UK has ever produced before.  
[/QUOTE]

Worse than Jemini, who got ZERO points in 2003?

Jemini never really existed. There was no Eurovision in 2003. These are not the droids you are looking for.

Ireland has won this more times than any other country. It took us a long while to realise no other country actually really wants to win cos then you foot the bill for the next year’s show. In 2008 it’ll be in Serbia.
