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

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 !

Btw, you forgot to mention Eurovision being part of a GTA game.

 

How about the host of Vladivostok FM radio station in GTA IV, winner of Eurovision song contest in 2004:

 

:D
