Eurovision Ironies

[EscGeek]

songs "Vodka" and "Rusinka" did not come from

 

[Terence]

2014 was topped and tailed by facial hair... bearded lady on top, and 'Moustache' last!

 

[EscGeek]

I've found double irony

Roman Lob singing "Standing Still" while moving on stage in a high voice.But at the end of his performance he says "thank you,thank you very much" in the deepest voice possible. Hillarious!

Max sang "Can't Wait Until Tonight" at approximately 22:45 - Istanbul time

 

[Jim]

Cyprus, brother nation of Greece, didn't qualify from the semi-final into the grand final, in ESC 2006 of Athens.

 

[EscGeek]

neither Paul Harrington nor Charlie McGettigan were 16 in '62

 

[Mrm]

Dustin the Turkey didn't get any single 12/douze pointe for Ireland in 2008!

Ell or Nikki didn't run scared. They were mostly standing still during their performance

Heard in the Dutch meet and greet video : the first Dutch entry ever was called "De vogels van Holland" ("The birds of Holland"), Anouk sang "Birds" in 2013 and then, "The Common Linnets" took part.

Valentina's songs at 2012 and 2013 started with u-u-u-u.... and she failed to qualify. At 2014 her song didnt started like this and she qualified

Irony at it's finest

 

[Rayman]

In 2013, Krista being ranked in the bottom 3 despite a good live and a catchy song mainly because of the lesbian kiss.
In 2014, a transvestite won the contest.

 

[Leydan]

Lithuania 2006 was not actually the winner of Eurovision.

 

[esc87fan]

Conchita's not a transvestite, she's a drag queen

 

[Salmon]

In 2013, Krista being ranked in the bottom 3 despite a good live and a catchy song mainly because of the lesbian kiss.

...or it's because of the song.

 

[EDC0708]

...or it's because of the song.

I remember in the UK commentary that most of the comments about the song were suggesting that the "I'm a slave and you're my master" lyric was sexist, one viewer even said that Finland was "setting feminism back 30 years" or something similar. I don't think anyone in the UK was offended by the kiss though!

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

That the first Russian winner is most probably gay

It seems like this year we have two entries called "Warrior"

Did that already happen in the past? Same exact song title during an edition ?
