I've been toying with an idea too "Unsung heroes of Eurovision " you know, that certain someone on stage who adds so much to your enjoyment of the performance, for better or for worse!

I like that idea, sorta like the best gimmick contest only focusing on the people on stage who aren't a credited artist? (i.e. backing dancers, singers etc.)

A gimmick can be an unsung hero though can't it?! I'm confusing myself now
The one that popped into my mind immediately was the big black woman with Dustin The Turkey, we pretty much all loved her but hated everything else
Miss Kitty B? I think that's what she was called. Was the first thing I thought of when I saw the idea for the poll and had already decided to send the turkey as my entry.......guess it won't happen now as there'll be a dash to grab her.:rolleyes:

Instead of being 11 points behind it is now only 1 point behind.
I hope there are no more mistakes.
Can someone check for me through.
I don't normally do reviews but it's a cold and gloomy Monday night and I have nothing better to do.
Slovenia 2010 - It's fun alright but this is the musical equivalent of mixing chicken soup with strawberry ice cream, they just don't go together. Mind you, chips dipped in chocolate milkshake is quite nice.
Romania 2013 - There is a little midget under Cezar's coat who grabs his balls whilst he hits the high notes. This totally deserves to be here.
Croatia 2011 - Not a bad song at all, in fact this is my guilty pleasure from 2011. Might I add it was very generous of Noel Fielding to offer his services.
Georgia 2012 - And the award for best polished turd goes to....credit where it's due it's more fun than this year's dross. He's like Ricky Martin after getting hit on the head.
Switzerland 2010 - Hate it. Do something about the ears please, I have no idea what, just do something with them, wear earmuffs or something, I dunno.
Spain 1983 - She sounds very agitated but who could blame her? I'd be annoyed too if someone stole my boat.
Iceland 1996 - Whoops! Did someone forget to write lyrics to this?
Portugal 1995 - Don't you just hate it when your maths teacher does Eurovision? Wouldn't call this a bad song, it's too forgettable to be bad.
Belgium 1983 - That dance routine looks like their coat hangers are still stuck in the shirts they're wearing and they're secretly trying to fish them out.
Sweden 1984 - Definitely one of the worst winners in ESC history. And has it occurred to these chaps that the only reason people look at them in their golden shoes is because they look like a proper bunch of twits? (It may be worth replacing that i with an a)
Belgium 2011 - It's like the cast of Waterloo Road doing something funny in aid of Children In Need. Seriously though I genuinely like this and that is some mighty fine beatboxing.
Germany 2005 - I like this song, in fact it isn't a 'bad song' at all just poorly performed. And what's with all the dislikes on this video? She came last place, people! What more do you want!?
UK 2003 - Bit of an obvious choice, we ALL know this is bad. Even Chris sounded really desperate when he shouted to the crowd 'Come on Latvia!' I think they're as enthusiastic as they're gonna get!
Germany 1991 - Those backing singers couldn't give the slightest toss, they can't even stand in a straight line.
Spain 2013 - Shame on whoever sent this in, this song is my 2nd favourite from 2013. Love the dress!
Spain 2008 - Ugh, trying too hard to be funny. Though I'd happily trade him for Keith Lemon.
Italy 2011 - Wonderful song, I haven't the foggiest why someone would send this in. It's so classy and so typically Italian it makes me wanna go to Pizza Express for a nice big Four Seasons Romano!
Austria 2012 - I love Trackshittaz, granted their 2011 effort was way better but this is my absolute guilty pleasure from 2012. Austria does novelty so much better than they do soppy cheesy love ballads.
Austria 1988 - Shoot the tailor, that suit is at least three times bigger than he is. I bet it's just two kids in disguise.
Israel 2007 - Who sent this one in? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? This is a good one, love the dubstep.
Finland 1976 - I didn't half flinch when he did those thrust movements, I bet he eats girls for breakfast. *shudder*
Russia 2001 - Love this, so underrated. Eurovision has never been so creepy! How did Russia sink from this to Diva Bilan?
Luxembourg 1980 - Aww, a song about a penguin? Oh how cute....oh my....oh my! DEAR GOD WHAT THE HELL! KILL IT WITH FIRE THAT THING AINT' GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!!!
Montenegro 2012 - Was 2012 the year of singing the opening lines to your song whilst sporting a monk's tunic? Rambo is such a badass, I love it when he mocks the crowd cheering at the end!
Turkey 1993 - Why is he dressed like an extra from 'Saved By the Bell'?
Portugal 2011 - If you took the Village People and hit them with a truck, the outcome still wouldn't be half as messy as this.
Turkey 1983 - You know, if you call a song 'Opera' perhaps you could forgive me for thinking that I was about to hear....well you know...opera! Unfortunately I don't think there is a word that can be used to describe what mess just went into my ears.
Slovakia 2009 - The way she repeats his lines immediately after he sings makes it sounds like she didn't bother to learn her lines so she just copied him. Chalk and cheese.
Latvia 2005 - Oh come on now you're just being rude, this is lovely! Definitely the cutest guys to grace the Eurovision stage.

Slovenia 2010 - I feel this a misguided attempt which just became messy rather than bad. Romania 2013 Personally I do not find this one of the worse of this year and as it has an entertainment value it makes the bad good Croatia 2011 - I think this can best be described as a lame duck and with the effort they put into the selection to end up with this makes it more lame. Georgia 2012 - He certainly knows how to sell a turd but it still remains one. Switzerland 2010 - Flat flat flat and dreadful staging. Spain 1983 - Plain horrible Iceland 1996 - Yuck Portugal 1995 - It is just dated and dull not the worst. Belgium 1983 - Annoying and bad 1983 was just a bad year made worse by the songs on offer. Sweden 1984 A song I dislike however I do not think it is the worst. One of the worst winners possibly overall nope. Belgium 2011 - Just another misguided rather than bad. Germany 2005 - I have always considered this to be just plain pathetic as opposed to being bad. United Kingdom 2003 - Badly executed lame song. Yet it is not the UK's worst. Germany 1991 - Like a bad lower school performance Spain 2013 - It's not bad it just has nothing going for it. Spain 2008 - This on the other hand is plain bad Italy 2011 - Utterly brilliand should not be here. Austria 2012 - I just think the whole thing is rather sad than anyting else. Austria 1988 - No redeeming features whatsoever Israel 2007 - Always dislked this. Finland 1976 - It is awful, but I kinda like it. Russia 2001 - Mick Jagger on a drug addled binge at Eurovision, terrible. Luxembourg 1980 - A stupid childs song. Montenegro 2012 - odious. Turkey 1993 - Just dated Portugal 2011 - a very long 3 minutes Turkey 1983 - A complete mess in every single way. Slovakia 2009 - A huge shrieking mess Latvia 2005 - Not bad.

Yes maybe. I have someone in mind...
It might change the results. Even the winner may change.
Apparently Only_You changed his points too, or so he tells me.
My parrents were quite nasty to me yesterday so I struggled to check them. They would not let me use my calculator.
Like Jimmy Jump?
We all have our crosses to bear basdfg, don't stress about it - often I have had to wrestle my laptop away from my son to do some Eurovision stuff!
Yes, why not?!
People have talked a lot in reviews about Rambo's Donkey this week, so it's about time the donkey had a chance for victory on it's own merits
Ah but wouldn't the donkey count as a gimmick?
Don't hit me! :eek:
A gimmick can be an unsung hero though can't it?! I'm confusing myself now
The one that popped into my mind immediately was the big black woman with Dustin The Turkey, we pretty much all loved her but hated everything else

Well your contest your rules I guess but I thought you'd rather like to separate it from the best gimmicks contest.
Didn't the gimmicks contest include Dita Von Teese as a gimmick?
Yes, also included the giant. But we could just exclude them.
