agree! especially since you had this piece of art among your choices :/



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Finally, Portugal won! Happyyyy! :D

I didn't hear the majority of the songs but the portuguese song and the azerbaijan one, were the best.

I didn't watch the national contest so I don't know what the others sounded like but I remember listening to the song afterwards and being like "wait, what!?". And the stage performance looking like some men's clothing commercial didn't make things better.

Just gonna say, I did not expect to hear the hosts of Eurovision say nazi greetings with a huge smile on their faces.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Amar Pelos Dois has been already a full week being the most downloaded song on Itunes out of all the songs in the contest, and is well deserved because the song is clearly awesome.

At some point it managed to be number 1 on countries like Macao, Kyrgyzstan, Mozambique and Cape Verde, it also got into the charts from Hong Kong, Brazil, Canada and Cambodia. Of course it also was number 1 in all big markets of Europe (Germany, Sweden, Uk, France, Spain...) for such a non-mainstream kind of song it has being doing really well.

Oh he  is Ukrainian...

Here are some other of his  ''attainments'' :

 

Incidents[edit]

  • On 1 September 2011, Sediuk baited Madonna at the 2011 Venice Film Festival in handing her a bouquet of hydrangeas knowing that she did not like them, even causing her to express her disdain unknowingly in front of the press, creating controversy about her apparent snobbery towards a gift from a fan.[5]
  • On 18 May 2012, Sediuk kissed Will Smith at the premiere of Men in Black 3 in Moscow, prompting Smith to slap him and ask "What the hell is your problem, buddy?" Sediuk was attempting to interview Smith at the time he kissed him.[6]
  • On 10 February 2013, Sediuk, who had no ticket or credential, rushed onto the stage during the 2013 Grammy Awards, when Adele received her award for best solo performance, and "murmured" into the microphone in "a moment broadcast around the world but noticed by very few."[7] As a result of the incident, Sediuk was charged with "willfully leaving a spectator area and entering a performance area" and of "interfering and delaying program participants." He pleaded no contest and was given a six-month suspended sentence.[8][9]
  • On 24 February 2013, Sediuk attempted to enter the 85th Academy Awards wearing drag, but was turned back by security.[10]
  • On 18 January 2014, Sediuk grabbed Bradley Cooper around the legs at the 20th Screen Actors Guild Awards. According to USA Today, "Cooper did his best to smile through the incident as he pulled the man off of his legs."[9]
  • On 6 February 2014, Sediuk rushed Leonardo DiCaprio at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, briefly burying his face in DiCaprio's groin before being removed by security.[11]
  • On 8 February 2014, Sediuk streaked the Prabal Gurung runway show at New York Fashion Week and was arrested for trespassing.[12]
  • On 16 May 2014, at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Sediuk crawled under the gown of America Ferrera as she posed for photographs at the premiere of How to Train Your Dragon 2. Ferrera was reportedly "shaken" by the incident,[13] and some called for Sediuk to be charged with sexual assault.[14] In the aftermath of that episode, Sediuk was fired by 1+1.[15]
  • On 25 September 2014, Sediuk allegedly shoved Kim Kardashian, nearly forcing her to the ground if not for the assistance of her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, as she, her husband Kanye West, and mother Kris Jenner were exiting a limousine to enter the Balmain Fashion Show at Le Grand Hôtel in Paris, France to watch her sister, Kendall Jenner, as she modeled.[16] While Sediuk's involvement was inconclusive initially, it was confirmed following a statement released by Sediuk, noting, "I hope Kim is ok and won’t be mad at me as I didn’t mean any harm. Kanye is one lucky man as Kim is a goddess!"[17]
  • On 30 September 2014, Sediuk rushed the crowd at Valentino's Paris Fashion Week Show, stripped down to a G-string thong and hugged Ciara before he was pulled away. He was not charged for the incident.[18]
  • On 7 October 2015, while Miranda Kerr attended the Louis Vuitton runway show in Paris, the boldly dressed Sediuk snuck up and kissed her on the cheek.[19][20]
  • On 21 September 2016, after a fashion show in Milan, Sediuk snuck up behind model Gigi Hadid and lifted her off the ground, before being elbowed in the face by Hadid. After the incident, he confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that it was indeed him; he claims his motives behind the attack were due to his belief that Hadid is not a true high fashion model.
  • On 28 September 2016, Kim Kardashian was arriving at L'Avenue restaurant when Sediuk ran over and tried to kiss Kardashian's rear end. The attack was stopped short by her bodyguard Pascal Duvier.[21][22]
  • On 13 May 2017, while Jamala was performing her song, "I Believe in U" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 final, Sediuk ran onto and around the stage whilst streaking the crowd and cameras draped in an Australian flag and dropping his pants to show his rear end.[23][24] Sediuk now faces up to 5 years imprisonment on hooliganism charges.[25]

Brad Pitt incident[edit]

On 28 May 2014, Sediuk was arrested by Los Angeles police after running onto the red carpet at the premiere of Maleficent at the El Capitan Theater and making contact with Brad Pitt, breaking the actor's glasses. Though apparently unharmed, Pitt cut short autograph signing after the attack and was granted an emergency restraining order against Sediuk.[26][27][28] Initial stories reported that Sediuk had punched Pitt in the face, though a statement Pitt made in the aftermath of the attack provided different details:

An interesting detail:

Salvador Sobral is technically the biggest winner of Eurovision history, even when translated to the previous voting system it would still have 417 points, more points than Loreen with Euphoria (372 points in 2012) and Rybak with Fairytale (387 points on 2009)
