Eurovision Song Contest

I didn't bother with it this year. Without Wogan, it's utterly pointless. As a competition it's laughably unwinnable by most of the entrants, most of the songs are shit and Norton was never, ever going to live up to the Woge-meister's standards. His best ever?

"Well, it's been a fantastic night. (Pause) Not musically, obviously..."

Genius.

I have to admit that Norway's song on the night passed me by but upon a few listens it is infuriatingly catchy. Certainly the best winning song for quite a few years. The guy is nauseatingly good looking which helped the votes for sure, much in the mould of the great Morton Harket.

The UK song was standard West End fare but the vocalist on the night was without doubt the best singer so a solid effort. I also liked Greece, Azerbajan and Modova.

The rest was PANTS.

Yep, straight out of an ALW show. Gotta be an upbeat Europoppy tune to win, UK totally misjudged it with that choice. What we tend to forget is that Norway's song had massive radio play on the continent (unlike ours) and so lots of countries were familiar with it by the time of the final, and so it's a bit of an uneven playing field in that respect.

On the credits for our song it said written by ALW and Diane ?? I presume the words were written by one and the music by the other.

Come to think of it, Tim Rice has been keeping a low profile since his sex-change op.

Cant we get Girls Aloud to do our Eurovision thing?

On reflection the best song won so a good night for Eurovision.

For the first time in a decade it became a song contest with the best ones in the top 5.
