Eurovision 2008 Recap

Filed in Funnny / Fun / Weird , Music / Movies / Videos 10 comments

Mike and I are huge fans of the Eurovision Song Contest and watch it every single year. It has become a great tradition and one of the highlights is to get our dog Chucky as drank as possible (just kidding .. kind of .. she has a hangover right now – kidding again / well kind of).

We really this year we would be in Belgrade to watch Eurovision 2007 because I got family there – so I thought it would be pretty easy to get tickets. Well, we failed.

Anyway, I just want to share couple of highlights last night.

Russia won this year:

Dima Bilan sings "Believe" – did Timbaland do the beatz? I didn’t even think that song would have any chance but apparently he has a huge fan base in the eastern European countries. Suck! The figures skater is just LOL – doesn’t he look like Woody Harrelson in Kingpin?

Our favorite was Sebastien Tellier with Devine:

Causing huge discussions in France because he sings in English. I love that song …. watch the official video – it’s awesome!

Really embarrassing was No Angels singing for Germany …

I mean .. girls, could you just maybe nail one note?

Also very good was Bosnia / Herzegovina Laka singing :Pokušaj

Feel like pulling out your hair? Then listen to Azerbaijan’s song "Day After Day" sung by Elnur and Samir:

This was fun again. I can’t wait again for the Eurovision 2009 from Moscow.

Anyone saw it as well? Who was your favorite?

Chikilicuatre from Spain was a joke from a TV channel that gone too far.

If I am really honest I love that Chiki song .. they play it here all the time and it’s cute when little kids sing .. baila chiki chiki to drive their moms nuts.

Where are you from? It’s very curious that this song is going out of Spain.

Rodolfo Chikilicuatre is a character made by David Fernandez Ortíz.

Hello Polyphony,

I just recently moved to Valencia, that’s why I am very familiar with this song.

Check out my Valencia blog:

#9 lovely :

Sebastian Tellier was the best, meaning the worst, because – you are so right – it ain’t s’pposed be good! The worst performance, meaning the best, was by the heavily plastic surgery’d lady in the tassled minidress (Sweden, I think) who made my ears bleed.
