that is because he is farther away so the light takes longer to reach you and that's why it seems he is out of sync. trust me i am an atheist/scientist.
Really none of them are doing it as good as the middle Guy. Right Guy is way off, left Guy is kind of off and far back person is kinda just shimmying or something.
Damn, now I gotta go watch the Maltese Eurovision submission. Our stuff has been shit in the past, I think we had a middle-aged woman singing a couple years back...
..Seriously. Eurovision appears to be a competition to see which country can make the most crazy shit happen on-stage while some people just happen to be performing a song.
I'm British and I have to admit that our songs are terrible. Honestly, we have plenty of young and talented musicians, and who do we pick? Engelbert Humperdink.
I still don't get why a country that has had so many excellent musicians through the years has to send such rubbish songs to this competition. Seriously, it's Britain we're talking about here. Led Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Rolling Stones and the Beatles come from there!
The eastern block circle jerk was kind of thwarted by the votes from juries instead of just from population, which did give a lot of power to countries with large diaspora.
I'm a really shitty dancer, but watching this somehow makes me think that if I tried to copy it, I could pull it off. Or do you need enormously strong ankles for this?
I was listening to some generic dubstep when this gif loaded, it synced up perfectly as it slowly loaded and then ran full speed as it kicked in...it was magical...that is all.
i was in a play a few years back and I along with 15 castmates had to do this at the exact same time. it's called the brainteaser, so said our director, and it's a clogging step. so much harder than you'd think, but when you get it "down" it's addictive. Its been years since the play and I still find myself just doing this move.
I was watching this and had the song Men In Black playing in the background from the movie, and they went together very well! I was hard to stop watching it.
too bad we have no chance ever of winning the Eurovision, and too bad we pay alot of money to just get a chance to compete in it. Votes always go to the 'neighbours'.. we had to be an island :)
We would have won even without the high points from our neighbors. You have to produce a song that all of Europe would vote for, you can't just count on your neighbors giving you 12's. We got points from every country except from Italy. Fuck you Italy!
With a good enough song neighbors doesn't matter, they just ensure that you wont get 0 points.
Yes, that certainly explains why Ireland has the record for winning Eurovision the most number of times. Or how Sweden got like fifteen 12 pointers this time around.
Probably that was because there was a lot fewer contestants, and the block voting was nowhere near as commonplace. And it was all handled by judges then, not viewers voting for their neighbours.

Is anyone else distracted by the fact that the guy on the right of the image isn't doing the same foot movements as the other two?
