me too!

Estonia underwhelms :( it's pretty and the girl can sing but nothing special... It WILL NOT go to the final

This song does not flow well...I do not approve...girl is pretty, but her voice does not impress me that much. It WILL go to the final I would say.

yes I know that, but where in Sweden. Anyway...Austria!

Where is Malmö?

Eeeew why the children's choir?

Anouk's album is coming out Friday, she's just using the Song Contest as a promotional tool for the album (Birds is the lead-single) same with Bonnie Tyler by the way, she too has just released a new album. Well-established bitches just using their star power to have the most televised event in Europe as promotion for their new albums. (Also note how both those songs have an "original version" and an "Eurovision edit version"...neither songs were written for Eurovision, so neither is the mandatory 3 minutes)

I didn't know TLC still existed...

Gay people have a new iconic sit-com. Move over Will & Grace, Vicious is the new greatest ever

Factory, Winona Forever and Midnight Circus' kind of tumblr: http://ayumi-flopasaki.tumblr.com/

WHEN IS THAT ALBUM COMING OUT ALREADY!! After the release of Anouk's album in 4 days, I have no CD releases to look forward to, it makes my life seem so meaningless!!!

The lead singer of Slipknot is a Kyary Pamyu Pamyu fan?

Sounds like the same problem the Netherlands have.

There were never any english versions of YEAH-OH or Go Round either.

I'm sorry, did I just enter the anti-Ayumi Hamasaki thread and nobody warned me?

LOL, now the guy I've been talking to has said to me that when I plan to go to Tokyo with him, I should let him know a few months in advance, so he can get tickets to the AKB48 theater as part of my tour of the city. I have officially found the holy grail of people when it comes to being a J-Pop fan.

As good as, he is Dutch/German/Russian, but has lived in Japan since he was a baby and although he speaks Dutch he has a terrible Japanese accent, which is adorable :P a 6'3' blond haired, blue eyed Japanese boy <333

According to my new husband, I don't seem gaijin.

My new husband is gonna give limited Team Ayu goods. I'm in love. Also he lives in Tokyo for 4 months in the year and he's planning on taking me with him sometimes, and he's gonna get Ayu tickets.

90% of all reactions I get on dating sites is guys telling me how ugly I am, I am not a big fan of dating sites either, but it's better than gay bars. (I know shockingly few gay guys in my life, so meeting a boyfriend in daily life is near impossible, so if I ever want to have a boyfriend, I need to find some way to let myself be found)

Got messaged on a gay dating site today by a guy who has dual Dutch/Japanese nationality and who is an official Team Ayu member and goes to Ayumi concerts 3 times a year and told me to come with him next time. I shall be asking him to marry me later this evening.

Legendary winner, best winner ever:

Thoughts: SWEDEN: I give Sweden a very tiny chance of repeating their success of last year. Generic pop sound, bad vocals. Enjoy the one year you can host guys, you won't do it again next year. NORWAY: Epic Power Ballad, a famous Scandinavian ace. Sounds good, girl looks nice. Possible contender. UKRAINE: Business as usual, an exotic looking lady screaming unnecessarily hard, generic production. Will get many points as always. ITALY: Singer-Songwriter galore. Underdog. Sounds nice on the first listen, will either OR get in the top 3 OR in the bottom 5, this will no way be a middle song... ISRAEL: Didn't Serbia once win the contest with this song already? Israel is always good, but boring. This year is no exception, one of the better singers though (FYI: Hebrew is NEVER a good language to sing in) SERBIA: generic. unimpressed. as usual. DENMARK: is gonna win. Personally I do not really like the song, but looking at the songs that have won the last few years...we have a winner. GERMANY: The Big Four always disappoints it seems. Germany has so many good singers, why do they never send them? Boring. GREECE: YES! YES! HOPPA! I love this song, I will send all of my points! Well done, once again, Greece! CROATIA: Is this meant as comedy? Sure the men can sing ok, but nooooo...too forced, to comical. AUSTRIA: (lip-synching is not allowed, Austria). Song is meh, people will probably like it, but the song is not good. Should not win UNITED KINGDOM: You are sending Bonnie Fucking Tyler!! This woman can fucking sing! Why so safe? Take a chance, Bonnie can take it! SWITZERLAND: I actually think this song is quite good...Performance could be better. MONTENEGRO: How progressive! I like this song...I however think I'd like the song better without the singer...and that is not good at a SONG contest... AZERBAIJAN: is NOT in Europe. Anyway, Azerbaijan has always been doing the same thing, this year no exception. The song you get up to make yourself a sandwich. Will however probably end very high. BELGIUM: Top notch as always. Love the song. Go go go, Belgium!! RUSSIA: All Russian contestants of last year have since died of old age, and their replacement is the worst Russian entry in years. Shame. BULGARIA: Starts out same old same old, but after that actually becomes quite fun! I do not mind this song. MACEDONIA: RuPaul called, he wants his Drag Show back. This belongs in the song contests from the 1970's. Doesn't stand a chance. SAN MARINO: San Marino sends their only singer, leaving the other citizen behind alone. This song is Deja vu, does not give me feels. Too bad. FINLAND: Nice to see Ke$ha doing something with her live again. Why do I fear this is gonna be the worst performance of the night? SPAIN: listen, Spain. You have some of the best singers in Europe. WHY do all your entries always have to be so generic? PLEASE, step up yo game! MOLDOVA: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MOLDOVA, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WANT TO GIVE ME NIGHTMARES, EVERY YEAR?!?! T^T BELARUS: I have deja vu for 2003-ish song contest. It's...ok, I guess...I have already forgotten what the song sounds like SLOVENIA: see Montenegro GEORGIA: THAT MAN IS HOT! Power Ballad we have heard many times before, and always ends very high. Doesn't do much for me. NETHERLANDS: By far the most talented singer, one of the most boring songs of the entire year. Shame on you, Anouk, you know this is not a song contest song! ARMENIA: It is something different for once from Armenia. If that's a good thing.... FRANCE: Rock on~! France knows how to keep up appearances and is always able to horribly loose with their head held high. Kudos to you France. CYPRUS: Takes the crown for most forgettable song of the year. Cyprus disappoints once again, remember when they used to be one of the best? HUNGARY: Sympathetic. Like-able. Head-boppy. I like it. Hopes for points for Hungary! ALBANIA: Your rock flops, Albania. Your desperation is showing. LATVIA: IT'S FAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS! No points from me. Blergh. IRELAND: Ireland will never be able to top that turkey. LITHUANIA: this is just....awkward... embarrassing to watch. Sympathy votes? MALTA: Cutesy song, happy and cool...doubting this will get many points though...shame. ICELAND: Trying hard as always, pays off as always. Kudos once again to you Iceland, I wish you a high position in the final ^^ ESTONIA: Here we go again. Overly loud vocals, boring performance. Every song contest again, the same thing happens over and over. ugh. ROMANIA: The shtick performance of the night, the hunk with the perfect soprano, guaranteed top 10 position. Where's my darling Turkey :'( Turkey always delivers like a motherfucker

single because of physical reasons
