Eurovision

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

Sounds cool, whatever it is.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Hey... you can't fool me. Israel isn't in Europe!

Posted by J T Stryker (Member # 6300) on :

*has no idea what's going on, but herd there was a party*

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Hehe, no, it isn't, but since we won the European basketball last month... [Wink]

Somehow it works out. Don't argue with me.

Isn't that like celebrating about being in the top ten of highest murder rates in Europe?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

No.

Posted by jebus202 (Member # 2524) on :

Oh.

Posted by Bella Bee (Member # 7027) on :

Did Britain get 'Nil Points' again?

I so love it when we lose... [Big Grin]

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

Douze points. :-)

The Eurovision...well... it's like "Miss Universe" only with singers. The three times we won throughout history were the only three times we had something worthwhile, high-quality on the stage. Not stupid-cheap-youth-corrupting-pop-bands such as "ping pong".

Oh the pain! I have lost all faith in humanity!

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

Huh?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Hey, Beanny, I didn't say we were GOOD... [Razz]

I said we made it!

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

Yep. Yay!

Short anecdote:
In the Eurovision last year, the Israeli representitive was "David Daor", a Supran singer. One of the guys in my group (mentally disabled), who's obessessed with the Eurovision, asked me: "How does he have the voice of a girl?"

It's not very funny now, but I could barely hide my smile then.....

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Aww, that's cute.

Hey, Kaveret went once, didn't they?

*loves Kaveret*

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

With which song?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I think it's called "Natati La Chayay"... it's the one that goes:

♪ Natati la chaya-ya,
'Tati la chaya-ya ♫

for a while. It's an upbeat song, but then, most of their songs are. [Smile]

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

Hmm...not familiar.
I personally liked "Abinabi - AboNabinabonabeh"...
