It's more political votes than anything else, even if the German song isn't that bad.

Is this a serious competition, or is it just a bunch of cheese balls?

It's the most dreadful thing ever, and to make matters worse millions is pumped into it every year by the 'big' european countries (Britain, Germany, France) and the end result is usually that each country votes for it's friend (the past few years have been eastern european given all the tiny little Russian off-shoots are in. So as a competition it's largely rigged.

As for seriousness, there's a couple of big ironies in that it's meant to showcase european diversity, culture and individuality. Yet they all sing in English and Britain usually comes last given the rest of Europe hate us (though this year we deserved to be last as it was really bad - but what do you expect when it was made by the creator of Rick Astley.)

Ah well, the boring everyday life continues. The hype, the magic and the surprise of the weekend is gone. Seriously who would have thought Germany could win this after being so crappy for the past 500 years?

Now we'll just have to win the Soccer World Cup as well.

I wouldn't say that! You've got Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms...

Well, you don't have your cheating goalkeeper anymore.

Song: terrible
"dance"-skills: terrible
Cuteness: I'd do her

[edit]
Not saying the song was worse than any of the others. I'm quite sure they were all equally terrible.

It's called football, not soccer. Soccer is the name given by idiots who don't know the game.

And football is the name used for at least four different sports that I can think of.

They are all superfluous, there is only one football.

Gotta agree with the English mate here. Who invented the name 'soccer' for it anyway?

Association Football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia said:

The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as a slang abbreviation of the word "association", often credited to former England captain Charles Wreford-Brown.

I'm really sad I can't find that nice (de)motivator with words along the line: "Football - because you're not supposed to use hands"

Anyway, I didn't really notice there was Eurosvision Song contest going on and I'm glad for it. Oh and by the way Eurosvision reminds me of this guy:
