ApathyMonger May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 You can watch live here if it's not on TV where you are: http://www.eurovision.tv/page/webtv?program=102853 I missed the first act, but this Belarus number is awful. Link to comment

Hybridcookie May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 I'm glad Conchita won, she was good - it was kind of obvious she was going to. I wanted Ukraine or Austria to win, and I was hoping Molly would do better for the UK Link to comment
Hybridcookie May 11, 2014 Share May 11, 2014 I'm sad that Ireland didn't make it through the semi-finals. I don't really listen to the songs beforehand (except the UK as that's where I am) but I did hear Ireland's and I really liked it Link to comment
lovemytvshows May 14, 2014 Share May 14, 2014 I went into this supporting Conchita all the way but didn't think she would make the finals just because of all the political voting and the fact that many countries are still pretty stubbornly conservative. I would've been happy if she made the finals (bookies' odds had her out of the Top 10) but HOLY SHIT! Way to exceed expectations and silent the critics and detractors! Queen of Austria, Queen of Eurovision indeed! It irks me when people comment that she won because of her novelty factor. Uh...have you heard her sing?! I found the background music to be too loud and it frequently drowned out the contestants voices and I was disappointed that some of my favourites: Sweden and Norway, ended up sounding not as good live as I expected them to due to that. But not Conchita! Her vocals were off the charts! She remains the only singer whose song I prefer to hear live than on the Eurovision CD version. Biggest disappointment of the night would be Molly from the UK. I had high hopes for her and had really wanted her to crack the Top 5, it was an awesome song that she co-wrote and she was not some novelty UK act! What the hell happened?! Biggest surprise of the night was that The Netherlands made it all the way to 2nd place. It was a good song but I felt The Common Linnets to be the poor man's version of The Civil Wars. Would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that Sanna Nielsen (Sweden) didn't come in 2nd place. Bring on Eurovision 2015 Austria! And can we petition to have Conchita host it next year?

Sonja May 27, 2014 Share May 27, 2014 (edited) Bring on Eurovision 2015 Austria! And can we petition to have Conchita host it next year? She already said she would like to. To be honest, we currently don't have a single TV host in Austria who wouldn't embarrass us badly internationally, so I hope they give her the job. Edited May 27, 2014 by Sonja Link to comment
SnideAsides May 29, 2014 Share May 29, 2014 I don't know much about her, but I feel like Kati the lady who's been reading Austria's votes for the last few years would do pretty well as a host? Link to comment
