I liked Portugal, too. It was so colorful :D

Btw, this is my first time more or less watching Eurovision. This is my fourth song, and I actually consider that a success. I've attempted to watch it several times before, but at some point it always got too damn boring and/or embarrassing. Plus I think it ends quite late. Europe has too many countries.

Btw, couldn't they afford a whole shirt for the Greek guy? D:

yeahhh it was so nice ^____^

this is definitely my first time, since HK time now is like...3am :| i think it ends at 12am? O_O

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAHA i was watching my image of greeks from hetalia go into pieces when the greek guy was singing.
i wish the greek scientists i see all the time in uni were like that

I actually forgot already who's in for Germany. But I doubt it'll make us go down in history. At least not in a positive way.

Well, I hope it won't scare you too much. Though you at least missed the "monster men" a couple of years ago. That was pretty...wicked. There was this band from Finland and they always perform dressed as...well...monsters. I'm sorry if that's old news, I'm just not sure how infamous they are beyond European borders.

Really? Only till 12? Then my memory either plays tricks on me, or I'm more of a lame-ass loser than I had thought.

I've never seen Hetalia's Greece, my sister only always spams me with Germany and Italy who are very, very impressive xD I think I once read something with Japan and those two, and I kinda liked Germany's "Better that kind of friend than no friend at all" attitude xDDDD
The closest I ever get to someone Greek is my half-Greek colleague, and...well...restaurants, obviously ^^; Then again, I don't want anyone near me to wear something like...that.

it's alright, i don't know who's going for UK XD;; and from what i've read i doubt it's gonna be good for them either :P

eurovision isn't that well known i think... i've only heard of it from ONTD and not really from HK tv... if finland do that again... i'm going to laugh my ass off :P

okay my friend said it ends at 11:15pm. maybe it's a time difference thing? it started at 8pm for us :x

hetalia's greece... is really slow. and really liked cats? and apparently does sex a lot :P
no one get near me with that :| except people who look good in it XD;;

Ummm. Very negative comments up there. No need to be this mean O___o

[x_reggg]

i was posting in a slightly negative manner, but i don't mean harm ^^ they're more like those "WTF" reactions than actually not liking it at all? ^^; it's my first time watching eurovision, despite hearing about it for a few years, so i was getting my small dosage of much needed cultural shock :P

i thought it was really weird that a lot of the songs were in english, since i thought it was in a way supposed to be promoting your own country? :x it'd be weird if you sang in some other country's language @__@; i did hear they had bits and bobs of their own language in the songs tho :D

hahah i actually really liked greece's performance XD;; *sucker for the greece/germany type craizness* i always got the image of greeks being slow/lazy from hetalia, not the cunning bit :P then again, i haven't read a lot of ths strips and have been watching the anime a lot more ^^;

if every year's eurovision is like this, i don't think i'll mind sacrificing my internet for a week XD;;

Fair enough, though to me "WTF" sounds more negative than "WTF I THINK I LIKE IT" :P But that's just me I guess.

Yes that was the idea. But somewhere along the way they started singing songs in English so the rest of Europe could understand them, plus it was the rise of pop music in America so it was trendy and hip. So the "own language" bit kind of died out, only to start coming back again now. I'm positive that in the years to come there will be more traditional things, there was a LOT of tradition involved this year.

AHHH GREECE, WE WERE ON FIRE TONIGHT. The song sounds so boring in the recorded version, but when I saw the live performance I was like O___O *jawdrop* Dammit that man is good.
Haha, the details Himaruya has included in Greece's character are so chillingly accurate, I don't know how he knows @__@ I need to catch up with the anime, OTLYes, it's basically like this every year. It's been better in the past... 5 years, I'd say (my personal favourite years were 2005-2007), so many good songs that I still listen to. I hope

[x_reggg]

it does start with a lot of WTFs, then end with "okay the song seems okay" a lot of the times, looking back XD;;;

i guess i'm going to enjoy the songs next year then, if they keep the traditional songs *__*

how can that song be boring?!?!? :| i should go find a recorded version and compare :x
i'm waiting for some characterization for HK... coz the only thing i really connect with HK is the japanese(chinese?)/english talk:x

you get to listen to the songs before yeah? @__@; like it's everyone sings the same thing during prelim/quarter finals etc, then cut it down to 25 countries, then the final, vote, results out by 12-ish? :x
