natedammit Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 25 minutes ago, Wrong Name said: It's all politics. There's no point in having the songs these days as they have no effect on how the countries vote. I don't buy the politics thing. People voting for their neighbours for cultural reasons? Sure, that makes sense, and is fair enough. It is 90% about the song/performance - people fell for Portugal's stripped back entry, and their quirkily charming/annoying singer. There're no political reasons to explain Portugal running away with the win. As for Brexit playing a part in the UK result, I just can't see anyone in Armenia thinking "Well I do so love the UK entry - but I shall never forgive them for Brexit." It makes much more sense that it's a personal attack on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that you and your fellow mainlanders decided en masse to not vote for the UK entry. From the public vote, only four countries gave us any points. One isn't in Europe (Australia); one is attached to us (Ireland); one used to be owned by us (Malta) and Spain chucked us a point out of pity. So my question is simple: why do you all hate me? I'm returning that question. Germany got Points by exactly one Country: Ireland. I am still wondering who the heck pressed a wrong button there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they haven't heard Titanium yet, or any other modern dance music, and were astounded by the fresh new sound. 21 minutes ago, Raylenth said: I don't think you take it too seriously but you may be a bit delusional I can't be delusional, I'm a bear.

That's Bearland you're thinking of, Nate, but it's understandable, they sound very much alike. It's very easy to mishear something like that, specially with bear ears. I've heard that Bearland has just released the much anticipated "The Wizard of Oz"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedammit Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Actually Bearland is an offensive nickname that we don't appreciate. It would be like me saying you come from Paddyland. It's Care-a-lot, in the Kingdom of Caring thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
