Building Bridges

Yep, it's that time of year again!

It's kind of a big thing here in Europe but for some reason, the hype never crossed the french border :P

Anyway, I know a lot of us european will follow the results.

To spice things up, I thought it could be fun to host some sort of competition among those of us who live in a country participating in the contest.

I did the math and at least 40% of the crew lives in a participating country.

First: some ground rules.

 

Time and Date :

 

Two semi-finals will take place on May 19th and May 21st.

The final will take place on May 23rd at 9:00 pm GMT+2 (I think)

 

Participating Countries and XDBX Members :

 

I will only be listing countries represented by at least one XDBX crew member.

 

The following are directly qualified for the Grand Finale :

 

Austria G.Town Rebell

Australia no_snacks, chewynotcrunchy, HoTWiiReD, revbouncer, ScottyB, Skorpion

France Fido_le_muet

Germany Irathernot

Spain DJNogaro

United Kingdom adsyfindlay, Babalola, Beans_343, Danielle, DavidCore, De-Raux, djw180, DocBrown, FRMJ1, iml33n, Kryptonain, Kudisanga, LimeGreenLegend, Markt12, Mullertime, Nath5times, PB, robbie, rofur, SanAndreasRealOG, Scottay, shinsou, shotdave, silentigercd, Skasaint, skip_rat, smoggy, SquireKaferia, Squirrel, stevogevo, TheBoyBry, The Rikster, V17, vanweeeezy, Xyon, zebedee

 

Note : Yep you read well. Australia will participate this year as guest entrant for the 60th edition of the contest.

 

The other countries will battle it out in two semi-finals before going to the final.

Defending Champion :

Who will emerge as the new winner ?

 

Winner's "gift" :

 

The winner of the XDBX Eurovision Song Contest Showdown will get the following presents :

  • Dress your GTAO character in your country colors until May 30st
  • Record a video of yourself singing the winning song
  • The ability to brag about how cool it is to win the XDBX Eurovision Showdown
  • :D

 

 

That's it! Tell me if I made some mistakes about which member is from which country.

If I forgot someone, tell me as well and I'll add you.

Members not from a participating country can still choose a country to support. I'll update the list below to keep up with all the supports :)

Finally, if you have suggestions about this or that or how to improve this, make it funnier... PM me or simply post in this thread.

 

Good luck to all !

Unfortuntely I'm going to be working and will miss the final. Oh what a shame. [/sarcasm mode]

 

I've noticed that the two semi final dates also coincide with both EU vetting playlists. If Jag is up for it we could do a joint theme for both playlists. 

 

As for an overall winner, political voting means the UK never get a shot and we don't really care anyway about the camp fest that is Eurovision :D

Yeah same here.

Eastern europeans countries always vote for each other.

So much corruption in this contest :lol:

It's OK though cause most people here in France don't give a shit about Eurovision and it costs a shitload of money to host !

Dat cleavage though ... (not) :D

 

And that's about the only fact I know about the Eurosong. Don't even know who's participating for Belgium o0. Oh and I heard on the news that they will mute the whistling from the crowd when Russia is on, should that happen again. Really?

 

Fido, just to make it clear, if we ever win this thing, I will leave the honours to Dan to post his version on YT =) Wouldn't mind a ukcmmutley_zps19f4c40c.jpg
