i think the award should go to the hostess jovana jankovic, all of her dresses were terrible! lol


At least Gisela will win something this year... I can imagine her in 40 years' time showing the clip of her ESC performance to her grandkids, and they're only gonna have one question - "Why are you wearing a weird tin hat with ears?". I hope she has a good answer for them by then...

I also agree with others that Verka should never have won last year - she was the BEST dressed!!!!!!!!

Belgium was definately not badly dressed, it was very suitable for the song, same for Bosnia-Herzegovina, if they were wearing more 'normal' clothes they would ruin the whole point of the song. Many here say that clothes Gisela from Andorra was wearing were horrible but to me they weren't that bad at all. Georgia started with really dark and heavy clothes and ended in white which was also suitable for the song.

Well, after all it's a song contest so clothes shouldn't be so important but I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't vote for the song only because they didn't like the clothes they were wearing.

Bosnia & Herzegovina was terrible. Especially the vocalist old fat women with a bride govn but neither Laka's nor his sister's outfits were better. What was the hair band on Laka's head for? It didn't keep any hair. The group was terrible altogether.

I'm sorry to say Andorra! She looked as if she had used an old copper pan to "compose" her "dress"! And that hair... Terrible! Really a pity, 'cause I liked her song so much!

this is a stupid contest..barbara dex..i mean we (the romanian ) won the barbara dex award in 2004, with sanda , because of her dress, and nowadays every singer has that type of dress (greece, ukraine, ,sweden,armenia, turkey[in 2006])...so shut up europe!!!!! we were ahead of you with 4 years in FASHION!

@ Gabriel Aragon [21540]

If you vote for Ukraine - then logically enough you should vote for Sweden as well - i do not see any difference in their outfits whatsoever ))))

Shouldn't Jean Paul Gaultier have some say in this competition? He was there!

Guys Georgia's outfit had a concept behind all these! Heavy dark colours in the beggining and a heavy outfit to show that her feets are on the ground and cannot move and then the release, the white dresses...c'mon it wasn't made by chance!!!
Andorra for me was the worst!

@ david.5555... : you must be joking...!! How can you even say that. Last year's hosts were so much better in every respect, dresses included... More natural, fluent, enthusiastic, among other things. No comparison.
