Thanks. I'm a bit surprised by your offer though
You get it what I wanted to say... Basically, I am shocked that I was more than one week away, and nothing has changed in this thread. It's all about politics. But sure, I was just joking xoxoxo
For the sake of mighty gods of ancient Greece, lets talk about something more pleasant. For instance, how was/is your day so far?
Thanks. I'm a bit surprised by your offer though
Just between us... Though I am posting this in public thread, I see you are a fan of the Bulgarian entry. Have you noticed how cute is the male model in their videoclip? Gosh, I knew that Bulgarians are hot, but that hot...
He is indeed very attractive. He is more attractive than all of the male Eurovision contestants this year.
I really love Bulgarian entry, I hope that European public will appreciate this beautiful piece of art.
Yes I have noticed that
I need to go to Bulgaria one day.
I also love the music video in general.
Guys, stop it
I thought there will be someone I can discuss SerGAY's live with, but looking like only my homeland is being discussed
Yep you should go to Bulgaria. One of my best friends is a Bulgarian. Not only is she beautiful, she is also very intelligent and smart. You will be impressed by them! Remember of Ivi Adamous, the Cypriote entry from 2012. Her mom is also a Bulgarian
As for Poli and her entry this year, my friend, we are on the same page here. I really love it too, my top 5, actually I'd put her in the fifth position in my overall ranking. I am sure she will get to the finals, and I hope she will give great stage performance, so she will score decently and make her country proud!
That explains why she is so pretty
Bulgarian people are indeed smart. I live in London and I know few Bulgarians - they are really kind, intelligent and hard working.
I didn't know that Ivi has Bulgarian ancestry.
Bulgaria really deserves to qualify. They qualified only once. They were robbed almost every single year IMO. Sadly, Bulgaria (along with Slovenia and Israel) is one of the countries that almost always send decent songs but are not that successful in the contest. Hence Poli is at a big disadvantage.
Welcome to my homeland.
And I have to add she was a judge in some Russian music-talent-search show last year (or two years ago). She was so positive and ... I cannot describe her and her posture. She seems to be a true lady. I am really impressed by her.
Of course Bulgarians are amazing....they gave us the legendary Queen Sofi
Like many Bulgarian folk singers... So I am not sure whether think of her as a true Bulgarian or a representative of a Bulgarian minority that lives all over the world But I do agree, Sofi's cheezy song was indeed iconic, and she filled that stage in Baku with her presence totally.
Well, I am not so sure that Slovenia is unfairly treated. Imo, perhaps only once or twice an injustice happened to us, but otherwise, when we didn't qualify, it was deserved. We always screw something up. Either with song or with staging...
As for Bulgarians, I am really glad to hear about your positive experiences with Bulgarians. My friend Maria, she always is so critical towards her own people, she thinks they are lazy and not hard-working enough, so they are justedly disrespected by others. Have you known that Greek men (and women) consider Bulgarian women for easy and slutty? I remember my friend was shocked when I told her my mum would be super proud if she would become her daugther in law. And her reaction was: Wouldn't she mind that I am a Bulgarian? And I didnt get it what she was referring to, so I asked her why? And she said: But don't do Slovenians think Bulgarian women are slutty? And my reaction was: where did you get this one? Her reply: From Greek men... So, I told her NO, if you are from Ukraine, then you'd be suspiciously looked upon in Sllovenia, cuz Ukrainian women that live here are known to have come here to do that disrespected business no one talks about
So, yes, Bulgarians are truly great people in my own experience, and their song would deserve more than ever to reach top 10 - though I really liked their only finalist up till now - VODA! Loved every bit of that song. Btw, are you a British?
No one should be disrespected just because of their ethnicity and/or nationality. Every nation and ethnic group is beautiful in their own way, even though every group has some flaws as well. I hope that your friend will realise one day that there is no need to worry about these stereotypes. I am also quite hard on my native country and my fellow nationals. I think some stereotypes are very hurtful and they lower self-esteem of some nations. In London, even though most people are OK with each other and almost everyone has some foreign ancestry, there are also some pretty nasty stereotypes going around as well. I live in London but I'm originally from Central Europe. That's why my English is so bad
Biggest injustice of 2012 that she lost out to Norway for that final qualification spot.....I'm still bitter about it
That's awful that Greek men think like that
Having said that, I am actually similar to you friend
I loved Voda as well. It was very unique
I wish I was British
But DNA-wise, if you are really from Central Europe, then perhaps we are distant cousins hahaha. But most of all, I hate double standards... I get really annoyed when people so easily ridicule/denigrate others for specific reasons and according to a firm set of their criteria/standards, but when it comes to other people/groups these rules they set up don't aplly equally. I hate this.As far as I am informed, the use of "anti-booing" machine is forbidden this year... But it is interesting to hear you saying that Polina was about to burst in tears the last year, cuz my impression was that she was totally detached from what was going on there, she seemed as though she was in some sort of exstasy cuz she really gave all her best. Regardless of those bumpkin-head that booed her, I think she was so gracious and beautiful that Europe deservedly voted for her for all the right reasons... Btw, I really love her song SPEKTAKEL OKONCHEN (The show is over), also super hot Russian guys in that clip
back in 2011. It could be Russia but I think it will be something different (perhaps if Amir nails his performance). It also depends on the running order - if Russia is one of the first countries to perform during the final, then I don't see them taking the prize.
