Eurovision Ironies

[tuorem]

Sorry for the double-post.

Eurovision irony : when Spain uses the same recipe

Both in 2012 and 2014, Spain got the 19th starting position, sent a cheesy ballad that the juries liked and the audience didn't care about, as a result Spain eventually reached the 10th place.

Turkey has placed on stage number 17 in second semi final of Eurovision 2010.
Romania has placed on stage number 17 in second semi final of Eurovision 2013.

Turkey has placed on stage number 14 in grand final of Eurovision 2010.
Romania has placed on stage number 14 in grand final of Eurovision 2013.

However, Romania didn't end up 2nd with results.

That's Not Ironic

That the first Russian winner is most probably gay

I would add that the backing dancer to their 2000 entry "solo" are probably gay as well.

This year,Rybak was defeated by a violin

 

[Terence]

Now that Austria has their second ever ESC winner, the first one passed away.

We finally get a Sami entry in Melodifestivalen, and it's not by a ethnic Sami, but a Colombian native who was adopted and brought up in the Sami culture

 

[tuorem]

Oh, better late than never, I've just noticed "time" is trendy this year. With "Time", "Time to Shine", "This Time"... more please. I got the feeling Azerbaijan's entry will be called "Time for Warriors": it would totally stand out.

 

[EscGeek]

Armenia denies that their song is about the genocide in 1915

 

[Chorizo]

I think it's ironic that this thread is about lots of things that aren't actually ironic. xsnooty
It is, isn't it?

 

[Terence]

It's like raaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiin on Eurovision daaaaaaaaaaaay
It's a free ticket (to the final) when you've already paid
It's a good song which you just can't vote for (because it's in another semifinal)
And who would've thought it figured?

Got carried away there!

 

[Chorizo]

Russia's peace song will qualify, while San Marino's will not.

 

[Poland2014]

LT United weren't the winners

 

[Fluke]

(Joke) A homophobe and a homophobic country got the first and second place.

Austria and Germany didn't give any points to each other.... and both ended up with zero

 

[EscGeek]

Lithuania missed the line "and you will see what you've missed" 3

 

[ory26]

More a fun fact than ironie but Abba winning with "Waterloo" the year France withdraw (death of President Pompidou).

 

[RomanFromRussia]

Switzerland came last in semifinal with 4 points
Both Austria and Germany came last with zero in final.

All german-speaking countries were unlucky in german speakin country

 

[EscGeek]

today on the bus,i was listening to random mp3 songs on my phone (like i always do) and after Conchita Wurst - "Firestorm" my phone selected Aerosmith - "Dude looks like a lady"

Nah, he's just Cherkesian.

2015 : Sweden won a contest that's openly pro-gay with sending a homophobe who openly said that "homosexuality is abnormal" just the year before
