Here we go - there’s always one or two songs I genuinely like. This weird Bjork-ian Georgian entry is not bad at all.
and Sweden just doesn’t care anymore
Unless there’s a secondary prize for Artist Most Resembling Marc Bolan
Richard Fairbrass has a career in France, who knew
At least we now know that Sinatra doesn’t work in German.

Serbia answers the question what would happen if Hiro of Heroes and Betty of Ugly Betty would mate
Ukraine’s entry sums up Eurovision for me.
Just hold me i’m scared
I think some of the subtext of the UK song was lost because of the frantic cutting. It’s really about global warming.
You know I’m really starting to miss the good old days of unibrows, folk dress and weird regional instruments.
OK, the pain is over. Now the fun starts, the voting. I predict:
- Ukraine - quite fun, and apparently he’s already big over there
- Latvia - Stirring, if cheesy, opera lite. Baltic bloc votes guaranteed.
- Bosnia & Herzogovina - can’t remember the song, but does that matter?
Well the Ukraine entry was definitely memorable it will probably win.
For some reason i rather liked Hungary.
So what will it be: Mandatory riverdancing or the history of Finland through interpretive dance
Got a country western feeling from Hungary, speaking of feelings Germany got the swing ones.
Ukraine for the weird award!
I liked Russia.
Bulgaria with those drums! If I could, I would vote for them.
And I forgot to add:
I heard of commercialism starting earlier and earlier every year to remind us of Christmas shopping, but that was ridiculous…
Some of these performers have decided to just mock the whole idea…
…right?
Please Dear God let them be deliberately mocking us… unless You dont exist, and they are in all eagerness serious… 
Were I so inclined I’d also favor Hungary (why, what an unusual concept, an actual band… ) and Bulgaria, just because of the drums.
The Greek act… oy. I’d call up their home committee and threaten them that if they do something like that ever again, the contest is going to start referring to FYROM as just plain Macedonia. Maybe that’ll motivate them.
…and yes, that was an uncomfortable flashback on Sweden’s part.
This is going to be a lot less fun when Terry quits.
Oh, and Denmark have just given Sweden 12 points. Shock.
Terry, quit ? I alway imagine that one year he’s going to drink himself to death in that booth
I can’t help but thinking, if we could somehow incorporate Simon Cowell into this show, it would absolutely rule. If only because he’d probably spontaneously combust before it was halfway through…
Wow, the audience is actually booing the bloc voting at times.
I just came to this thread to ask if this is the contest that that Episode of Father Ted was about!
