Society & Culture Australia at Eurovision

[treefingers]

I've really got no words for how cringeworthy that opening was. And Mauboy? I mean c'mon.

Eurovision is a bit of wank - but surely we can portray ourselves to the world a bit better?

 

[AtomicBlonde]

When you compare that with the "quality" artists from the Eastern European nations and their performances, it really isn't all that bad tbh.

 

[Gough]

What's that I hear you say? Thread needs more drag queens with beards?

Conchita Wurst, what a Freudian name.

Conchita Wurst, what a Freudian name.

If she ever has a son, she gotta call him Brat.

 

[Plugger35]

We have no business being at Eurovision.

Eurovision should only be for cringeworthy Euro acts, not cringeworthy Australian acts.

She's the next Demis Roussos.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Were we in Eurovision? Why?

 

[Plugger35]

I don't think we're actually competing but Jessica Mauboy was there as part of the entertainment, no idea why.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

I hate that fat kiwi bitch.

 

[JUBJUB]

Where for art thou Gina G ?

 

[Quivorir]

Who the **** is Jessica Mauboy and wtf is she doing at 2:49?

 

[Thrawn]

Thread title is wrong. Should be "Eurotrash".

Bogan Idol contestant from years ago that went on to be in some Aussie movie a couple of years ago

 

[Upgrayedd]

We're not even in the contest and we have the shittiest preformance.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Surely you meant Austria at Eurovision right?

 

[Dont be a lemon]

She's no Irish turkey

 

[Borry]

Just turned off Eurovision to watch the news. That looked absolute garbage. I am a proud supporter of making sure Australia stays well away from the competition until they stop producing cringeworthy rubbish like that.

 

[Plugger35]

I wanted to vote for Belgium because I spent a lot of time there and they never win anything as they always get overlooked and overshadowed by their bigger Euro neighbours like France, Netherlands and Germany.

And Belgium serves this up, a fat guy singing some godawful karaoke.



Belgium pls, Plastic Bertrand will be turning in his grave at that shameful effort.

At least Belgians have developed a dark sense of humour though and will get a laugh out of how bad that is.

 

[Starburns_]

I'm honestly not sure who the f*** it is, but there's some douchebag out there who is determined to shove Mauboy down everyone's throats. I swear for awhile there, basically half the sporting events I found myself watching that had "additional entertainment" would wheel her out as part of it.

At least now she's stinking up Eurovision and not the cricket.

 

[Plugger35]

She's a reasonably talented singer but nothing really special.

I think the fact she's the indigenous girl from the NT outback probably works in her favour, everyone goes out of their way to hire her for stuff to be seen to be politically correct and not racist.

How does Israel qualify?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

How does Israel qualify?

They're a member of the European Broadcasting Union and have participated at Eurovision since 1973.

 

[SpuriousPea]

Polan robbed

But why? Israel is not part of Europe.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

But why? Israel is not part of Europe.

Israel hates its neighbours and wishes it was in Europe...

EBU is just an association of public broadcasters.
