Anyone watching Eurovision?

Oh god- it’s Mika and the clowns again.

Yay! Toy people again!

You have to admit, the Spanish singer is taking a big personal risk fronting a song called “Something Tiny”.

Well it hasn’t improved…maybe the whole audience should storm the stage

It’s like a Cirque du Soleil cover band.

My eyes! My eyes! That shirt!

Awesome-a Norwegian in green velvet with shiny applique telling me to light candles and eat pizza.

So I voted for Greece. My teenage son wanted to vote, too, but his prepaid cell phone card had run out (as usual) so he asked if he could borrow my phone. He voted for Turkey.

So my phone submitted a vote for Greece and Turkey on the same night. I’m a bit worried that it’s going to self-destruct.

If Greece wins, how are they going to afford it?

Well I’d most like to see Portugal again but I’m not interested enough to actually spend a whole 15p to make it happen.

I’m not voting but after seeing some of those contestants again I’m thinking about moving to the balkans

It’s definitely Belgium or Romania for me. Oh and of course Ireland, but I can’t see that happening this year.

Ok…anyone think the new voting system will actually change anything?

Or that, perhaps the Norwegians shouldn’t put nuts in the apple cake?

I predict that the UK will get no points at all. But if this leads to the deportation of Pete Waterman, overall it will have been a good night for us.

Against all reason, I’ve voted for Spain.

Listening to Graham on the phone I half expected “You voted for Spain” to be followed by him asking “Did you mean to?”

Quick thoughts:

  • Some extra points should be awarded to those that sung in their own language
  • For some added difficulty next year: no windmachines, no violins and no pyrotechnics

Oh please yes.

I have maintained for years that if the UK really wanted to win Eurovision they would submit this song.

Loving the heavy=handed security guys on now.

Just FYI- the lady who made my wedding dress also made the outfits for Ireland’s entry in Eurovision 1999- that year Ireland did not do well.

The Ukrainian webcam family are all in National costume- sweet!

AAARGH. Please, please, please, call-in vote-announcing people, don’t try to speak Norwegian! It’s a sneaky language that has been known to break the tongues of the unprepared. Besides, you’re doing it wrong.

Estonian guy - no. Just no. Very no.
