He only got that far because even the Finnish judges don’t know where Lithuania is!

Yep. you’re right! Still I think it’s the record label(s?) that decide who they want to win and who else to have a career and I do not believe they just go for a person who can’t speak/sing any Finnish. BTW Pakarinen was awful during the Euro song contest selections.

#29,
Agnes and the first “Idols” winner, Hanna Pakarinen, both sing in English. Quite successfully I might add. Actually more and more Finnish popular artists sing in English and are quite successful at it, too.

“Cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement” is what I was after.

Because these discussions make me smile. Mostly.

I’m sorry, that’s of course a discussion that we’ve had here, not a conversation.

Well, I don’t really know. Can a conversation be gay? I’ve always thought that “gay” is a sexual orientation. Do conversations have sexual orientations? I don’t think they do.

Perhaps you mean gay as in “showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement” (courtesy of http://www.thefreedictionary.com)? Boy, that’s a tough one. You might say there are some elements in the conversation that qualify as “cheerful” or “lighthearted” but I’d still have to say that the general mood hasn’t been that gay, no.

#32 Given your particular knowledge base, I thought maybe you are also finding this discussion gay. No?

Åboy, any thoughts?

Hmm.. Yes. I think he should be allowed to participate.
