Having said that,I don't watch it myself

Europe have never got over how we rescued them from the Nazis.
Admittedly the yanks helped a lot later--thanks to the Japs interfering.
We recently paid them back for all the stuff they apparently lent us.
Yeah thanks for that
This is a simple explanation before all you historians go off on one
To prove my point Austria & the Nazis came last ------- a bit after us and the capitulating frogs,

I will try and dig some of the comments out, it's a shame they are buried in the pages now. But some were hilarious.
But everyone, and I mean everyone, this side of the brook seemed to find the whole thing a right old jolly. Especially Graham Norton's one-liners..

Is it not a fact that English and derivations of it is the top 2nd language throughout the world so perhaps that would explain why most countries sing a song in English
England never wants to win because we just KNOW we could win if we send in One Direction. It's nice of us to let other countries have a chance. Who wants to win anyway? A whole night where more Europeans enter the country?? Who can guarantee they'll leave peacefully?
I don't know too many great songs in Chinese Mandarin, though someone may prove me wrong.

That is the top 1st language simple because of the numbers of people in China speaking it.

I particularly like the old favourite :deep fried number two in a number one yellow sauce
Yep that's only because there is so many people in China. For the rest of the world English is the most important language.
