Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Eurovision Song Contest 2015 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 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.

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 !

Squirrel 5,180 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited May 14, 2015 by Squirrel_Army 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5555-eurovision-song-contest-2015-xdbx-showdown/#findComment-88326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah same here. Eastern europeans countries always vote for each other. So much corruption in this contest 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 ! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5555-eurovision-song-contest-2015-xdbx-showdown/#findComment-88327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
