Italian Buddy Holly spotted.

Is Poland's paralyzed artist going to be the main threat to Finland's retarded band? Oh the drama.

Haha, I'm not sure if that was intentional but it sounded like she very sternly corrected his pronunciation of "Electro Velvet" there.

EDIT: I think I saw Ross from 'Friends' in EV's entourage, there.

I miss my cat someone buy me a kitten.

Well I hope whatever country wins has good food because it's going to be hard to beat the chocolate and pastry fest I've got planned for my "party" on sunday. What foods are people making/bringing to their parties? We're doing sacher torte, pastries, chocolates, coffee and lots of schnapps. I don't have anything savoury yet though - what does Austria do for savouries other than sausages. I guess I could have a laugh and do Australian savouries instead.

:siren: Goon Voting Site is LIVE! :siren:

As mentioned earlier in the thread, there is a goon voting site each year because we can't trust the opinions of the greater public or the official judges for each country. It's easy to sign in - just enter your SA profile ID number into the box, edit one line on your profile and you're in. If you don't know how to do this, don't worry - there's pictures on the site that show you how to find and do this. It's real simple, I promise.

The site is live at : http://crucialweb.net/eurovision

Please feel free to mess about and test it's all working and I've spelt the names right/not hosed up a flag. All the votes will be cleared out before the Semi Final tomorrow so don't worry about who you vote for. Just click things and have fun!

Previous years sites are at the following if you want to see how the goon vote went in years past:

http://crucialweb.net/eurovision2014
http://crucialweb.net/eurovision2013
http://crucialweb.net/eurovision2012

Feel free to ask any questions! I can possibly fix anything that's broken (although I'm hoping it's pretty solid now, and hasn't broken in years past) or missed in my update to 2015.

For some reason I feel like every time they scrape together the money to compete, they work in the genocide into some aspect of the performance either outright or through varying levels of metaphor.
