Well, "Ellen the Talkshow" isn't the right place to post this - "Other stars" would be better, I guess ...

well the uk made it to the finals. we didn't although i thought edsilia did a great job. last week i saw the winner on dutch tv and i thiught she was kinda rude.
does anyone know the translation (english or dutch) of the winning song?

[annak84]

prayer, i think

[ElortaUKfan]

[i]well the uk made it to the finals. we didn't

Actually the UK don't compete to get to the finals they qualify automatically along with France, Spain and Germany because those countries pay for the whole thing and then sit and watch every East European country vote for their next door neighbour.

prayer, i think

i know it means prayer, but what does she pray for?

i voted for france. i think that it will be a very long time before a country from "west" europe will ever win again. we in holland want to boycot the songcontest, or as i call it showcontest.

here's the english translation -->

"Molitva" ("Prayer")

I'm wide awake
An empty bed drives my dreams away
Life melts like ice
Disappears in the twinkling of an eye

I'm losing my mind,
Pushing reality out of sight
Our lips are touching softly
You're the one I believe blindly
I walk around like crazy
Falling in love frightens me
Days are like wounds
Countless and hard to get through

Prayer...
It burns my sore lips like a fire
Prayer...
Thy name is something I admire
Heaven knows just as well as I do
So many times I have cried over you
Heaven knows just as well as I do
I pray and live only for you

I can't lie to God
as I kneel down and pray
You're the love of my life
That's the only thing I can say

In a televised event watched by 100 million people around the world this weekend, 23-year-old Serbian contestant Marija Serifovic beat out participants from 42 European countries to win the 52nd annual Eurovision Song Contest, hosted in Helsinki, Finland.

Serifovic, who has not commented publicly on her sexual orientation but whose dress and performance style has led many to conclude she is a lesbian, won with her performance of a power ballad called "Molitva" ("Prayer"), which included female back-up singers wearing black Dolce & Gabbana pantsuits and holding hands.

The winner was selected in each country based on telephone votes and text messages. Serifovic received the most votes overall, defeating the second-place contestant, drag queen Verka Serduchka from Ukraine.

Serifovic's win was widely celebrated across her country as thousands of Serbians took to the streets after her win, cheering, honking horns and waving the Serbian flag. A crowd of 25,000 amassed in Belgrade to welcome Serifovic home.

“Congratulations, Marija! Serbia is very proud tonight and celebrates your success,” Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said in a statement. A government spokeswoman for the Republika Srpska — which along with the Muslim-Croat federation, now makes up the Bosnian nation — congratulated Serifovic for "for succeeding in bringing Serbia closer to the European Union."

The celebration may have more to do with national pride than anything else, as the win was seen by many Serbians as a rare sign of support from other European countries, as well as a bright moment for a country that has been consumed by war and its aftermath for almost 15 years. This was also Serbia's first appearance in the Eurovision competition as an independent nation, after Serbia and Montenegro split last year.

Serifovic's countrymen have not always been so supportive of her. Throughout the semifinals, Serifovic was widely criticized by Serbian tabloids for her appearance and her perceived sexual orientation, but she remained undeterred. "I'm different. My song is different. Serbia is different," she told Reuters Television in the days leading up to the finals, "so I hope we will make something out of it."

Serifovic's win has bolstered not just Serbian pride, but "Serbia's tiny and harassed gay community," according to Reuters, "who celebrated the lesbian chic-tinged performance as a rare sight in the conservative Christian Orthodox country." Following her win, Serifovic told reporters that "a new chapter has opened for Serbia and not only in music."

The massive nationwide celebration is also a small sign of progress for women, according to Britain's Independent, which notes: "Such outpourings are typical when the country's basketball or water polo teams are victorious. But this was different, for it was the first time the proverbially macho Serbs had done the same honours for a young female singer — let alone one with Serifovic's unusual fashion sense."

Serifovic will travel to six European countries on the Winner's Tour. Watch Serifovic's winning performance here:

Its actually difficult to explain to most of you how important is that a balkan country (maybe my Turkish friend might understand what does it mean ''balkan'' in terms of calture) first of all chooses to send that kind of singer in Eurovision and secondly how impressive is that she won with a song in her own language! Espescially in a contest when the result is largly determined by the length of the skirt than the ''length'' of the voice! And at least to what I read to greek news her win is much wellcome as the discision Ellen to host the Oscar ... I am really excited with the fact tha the world is coming to real meaning of ''difference'' I mean as an exciting diversity rather than a cause of discrimination. And I say that in a general sense Hoping not to be restricted in sexual orientation but in all kind of diversities...color religion political beliefs...

ps i had posted that to an other thread. But since there is a complete thread here for eurovision I copy it here and the moderators can remoove the previous one
