Greece wins 2005 eurovision contest.
Will post pictures below.
It is just fun. If the parties were anything like after the eurocup or the final day of the olympics, there is going to be a MAJOR party (call in sick) flu on monday.
The order of performances in the Semi-final was as follows:
Austria Lithuania Portugal Moldova Latvia Monaco Israel Belarus The Netherlands Iceland Belgium Estonia Norway Romania Hungary Finland The Former Yugoslav Republic and Macedonia Andorra Switzerland Croatia Bulgaria Ireland Slovenia Denmark Poland
Malta's entry Chiara sings the song 'Angel' during a dress rehearsal of the 50th Eurovision finals at the Palace of Sports in Kiev May 20, 2005. ABBA won it about 35 years ago.
Here is an interesting footnote.
NOT ONE person was waiving an EU flag. Everyone was waiving their individual national flags. The winner draped herself in her homecountry's flag.
So much for the new EUropeeeean identity.
The Former Yugoslav Republic is now just using a symbol- like Prince...
at least it is not the star of alexander.
Actually, my vote for best pop song ever is Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster."
That song never fails to rock.
She sure has a great set of hmmmm lungs.
"NOT ONE person was waiving an EU flag. Everyone was waiving their individual national flags"
Uh, that's kind of the idea. All of the performers are representing their countries.
Mama Cass lives!
lol

The hard core EU-rophiles are trying to push the notion that there is a unified EU mentality. I actually like the fact the nations have not lost their ID.
She is only 28. She had a really good voice, despite the fact that dress only compounds matters.
