Eurovision Semi Final #1 Qualifiers
The Eurovision Semi Final took place tonight for the first set of 10 places to qualify up for grabs. From the list of of qualifiers i havnt seen all the performances but Greece and Russia qualifying seems awful and who let Iceland have an entry after all this volcano business.
Also wouldnt it be hilarious if Greece won the Eurovision and the EU had to pay for the event to be hosted considering the countries awful financial situation.
If i had to like one or two of the 10 qualifers i would probably pick Serbia or Albania or maybe Bosnia as they seemed the catchiest more enjoyable of the tunes. If any of these 10 are in the top 10 on finals night i’ll be surprised.
Qualified from Semi Final 1
- Bosnia & Herzegovina
- Moldova
- Russia
- Greece
- Portugal
- Belarus
- Serbia
- Belgium
- Albania
- Iceland

Well at least you made a good comment with a point as to why exactly you think such a thing
I think you may have gotten carried away in trying to be funny (and failing) and hiding behind a fake name.
Tell you what, when they take away free speech, and opinions are not allowed ill consider joining you mowing lawns. Until then, ill just continue to ignore cowardly idiots.
My name is Gran Depine and my email is grandepine@gmail.com. As the Greeks would say to Aidan Cuffe…BITI MALAKAS! Allow me to translate, “Complete Wanker!”. What does macro economics or tectonic volcanic forces have to do with the Eurovison performances? Can someone give this MALAKA another job?
First of all, how big is your ego to think you speak for all greeks, seriously are you that pretentious.
Secondly, have you never read an article that contains a twist of humour within, hence forth the comment on the Volcano and “Macro Economics” add’s a bit of humour to the Article, something you clearly lack.
Secondly, Macro Economics actually has a lot to do with Eurovision as countries regularly send terrible acts to ensure they do not win and dont have to stump the cost of hosting Eurovision, with greece’s disgraceful financial position and their huge loan from the EU to keep the country going would mean that IF (and thats a giant IF) they won Greece would be financially unable to cope with the duty of hosting the eurovision
So Smart Arse, Once again, there is relevance, at least this time you made an actual point to which i could completely dismiss using basic logic that anybody with half a brain reading the article could deduce.
Unfortunately your lack of both brain and humour means that you should be locked in a room devoid of internet or social interaction so as not to embarass yourself again.
Oh and civilised people can have a discussion without profanity. Grow Up
Dear Aidan Cuffe,
I was taught to read my publications before I comment. Quote “i havnt seen all the performances” End Quote. This is a quote from your publication. Firstly, you can’t spell. Secondly, how can you be a critic if you haven’t seen all the semi-finalist’s performances on the Eurovision semi-final night? Secondly, people are not interested in third party unrelated geo-political cynicism when viewing Eurovision. Seriously, your attempt of humour needs a charisma by-pass. Finally, Ahhhhh the logic! I wish I met you at a UN peace camp in Bosnia, imagine the friendly fire we could have shared? Yes, I have been known to hurt one’s feelings Aidan. Take it like a man and stop the excuses. Maaaaaaaaalaka! Child!
Ah i dont even know why you bother replying at this stage.
First off, i’ve re-read my article, i dont see any mis-spelled words. So your attempt to go petty has failed massively.
Secondly, i did not pass comment on every act, i passed comment on the one’s i had seen, i am entitled to my opinion, the above is such
Thirdly, my geo-political cynicism and the interest people have in it has nothing to do with you. It’s my blog. my website and if thats the spin on the article i want then i will write it, if you don’t like it, go read a Yes man blog that will tell you what you want to hear, you will only get honest opinion here.
You have managed to hurt nobodies feelings, your childish comments are pointless. You make no good points, you have some kind of superiority complex and are trying to tell me how i can write on my own blog. Your telling me to take it like a man and stop the excuses, i offer no excuses and it really appears to be you can not take my comments like a man, so you choose to attempt to ridicule my spelling. If you can’t make good points relevant to the topic then please dont post comments. I wont waste my time replying to more petty crap. If you have a good point to make then make it. I’m over a week waiting on it
You would make a great “socialist” politician. You have problems with you eyesight and never answer the bloody question. Are you from Northern Ireland?
One more time for the dummies. Did you see all the performances before you published your blog discussing the performances? It is ok to say no. Because the person who commented in the above, “Pap”, (allow me to translate the word vlaka) called you an idiot. “John Doe” on the other hand recommends train spotting. As for my initial comment, the term “Malaka” may be used as a form of endearment. In summary, you are entitled to your opinion and like you, I am entitled to criticize the critic.
I sincerely believe my comment was relevant and I will not accept derogatory remarks about sovereign nations that are currently suffering social injustices caused by corrupt politicians and manipulating geo-financial elite who wish the world to return to the stone age in order to control the primary resources situated below the ground. How would you like to be called a PIIG because some smart arse CDO trading banker bribed numerous politicians to invest in the derivatives market to mask the sovereign ledger books? Then when the shit hits the fan, blame the people, tax them to the hilt and let the great grandchildren pay off the debt.
And you wonder why I am upset with your “derogatory” comment. If you are from Ireland, where the hell is your solidarity with the fellow PIIGS? That’s right, I am sooooo sensitive I can’t take a joke. Well listen up malaka, you are not funny. I get better laughs listening to my dog fart. Eurovision is a fantastic competition celebrating many genres and styles without the use of political subliminal agendas. When they tried to perform the “PUT IN” song during last year’s Eurovision it was banned for political reasons and rightfully so. So let me give you some business advise. Stay apolitical with Eurovision otherwise your career, your job, your breadline will be affected. I’m from pure Pyrrhotic bloodlines, I always publish my name and email address and I am fearless. Just say one more bad thing about Greece malaka, bring it on.
Socialist, thats a riot, no im not from Northern Ireland but i dont see how weather im from either stretches of the Island how this matters one bit.
I answered all your questions, did i see all the acts, not at the time of writing, i have since seen them all. Did i see all the acts i commented on, YES. i wrote that in the last comment. You greeks can comment and call me names all you like, it doesnt change a thing. You can criticize the critic, but the first 2 comments just called me names and did not make a single point. If thats the level of “criticism” you subscribe to then do it elsewhere, i had to point that out before you even made a point.
The remark is not derogatory, show me 1 comment that is not FACT above, are you in financial trouble, YES, can you financially afford to host eurovision, NO, get over it. Its a factual comment.
Indeed your not the only country in financial trouble, in Ireland we’ve had our banking issue’s and i would as easily mock us and our ability to host the event as greece. There is no requirement for solidarity in a small piece on eurovision. You need to relax, try not to let your disappointment in whats going on in your country be a source of anger which you vent on the internet in absolutely nonsensickle posts. This is not my career, this is a hobby, i do so in my own time, with my own style of humour and writing, it wont appeal to everyone and i dont try to, If you dont like the humour and writing go read a blog that praises your magical country for all its former glories. You wont get that on this website. I’m not here to pander to your wants, demands, i’ve stated fact, the concept of Greece or Ireland hosting Eurovision is comical as neither of us are in a financial place to realistically host the event. If you can’t see the humorous side in that you truly take life far too serious.
and honestly, do you need to keep calling me names, its so unbelievably childish and just makes you come across as an arsehole.
**Edited as commenter cannot debate without being abusive**
Oh Gran, you think this is some form of competition, you once again just posted to be abusive, so your comment has been removed. There is no bigotry in observational humour and i dont care about where you were educated or your penis size. This has nothing to do with anything just like every one of your comments.
So here is how this works, ive removed your comment, if you post again and its abusive and you dont make a point worth reading i’ll unapprove your account from posting and this stop’s here and now.
As i always say
