We’re Dutch! We’re happy! We’re stoned off our asses! Good backup singers, though. ---

That guitarist gave me an awful scare when he started singing. I thought the Jacksons had been brought on stage. ---

Do you know what’s really sad? For a German candidate he is clearly above average. ---

Wogan: “It’s 29 years since the Netherlands won Eurovision. Make that 30.” This German song reminds me of summut. ---

“True love won’t be afraid of no-one”? What kind of grammar is that? And has the German singer glued his eyelids shut or what? ---

Ha, I hadn’t even seen **Saitou** ’s post when I wrote that. If those backup singers do a Bucks Fizz I’m outta here. ---

Yeah, you could turn the German guy’s head upside-down and he’d look the same. The Albanian woman seems to have finally hit her stride, although her backing singers look like they escaped from a School Disco. And I’ve now added the phrase “saucy baggage” to my vocabulary and intend to use it at the earliest opportunity. ---

Weyhey! Terry’s pissed already! The Ukranian song is pretty catchy, but was obviously written by a non-English speaker. And apparently is being sung by Catherine Zeta-Jones. ---

Choreography and costumery: Good. Song: Kinda. They’ll probably win, just for having a singer who looks _exactly_ like Catherine Zeta Jones (and seems about as articulate). ---
