Strange to see Ireland not making it this year.

Also Iceland and Netherlands who had good songs aswell.

My money is still on Walters & Kazha, Latvia's Entry.

Switzerlands Eurovision Entry (sung by 4 girls from Estonia) looks good ;) and Norways entry is very 80's rock. Should be good :)

Very crap. I almost wish now that Jordan had won, now that would be very funny to see and we might have got "nil points" so we don't have to go through the charade of the "Europolitcal Voting for our Friends Contest" again. I may catch some of it but only for Terry Wogan's commentry.

I dont get this? since when has Israel been in Europe, it's in the middle east. So are Chile and the US entered?

[anonymous-user]

I assume that this thread is ironic?

Yes, but like Wimbledon, the proms and snooker, it just feels like 2 or 3 times a year. (except the snooker, which is twice a month)

Norway's is good in an 80's style rock way

Very much like Kiss/Van Halen/Europe.

Hmmmm, We've copped on to the Eurovision some years ago now.

When we won it 2 years running and once more two years brfore the double, it actually almost bankrupted RTE (our BBC). Hence, RTE never wants to see the stupid show on these shores again. Riverdance, that global diddly-diddly bru-ha-ha made millions, but RTE hadn't a penny of it. Apparently they turned down the oppertunity to produce it as the rest of the show was costing too much already.

So now we send 16 and 17 year olds to prance about and make a twit of themselves, safe in the knowledge that we'll never win. AAAaahhh!!!

X-Factor, that's what I call it when my beer driven autopilot drags something like that home "She was an X-Factor bird!"

Wogan is the only reason to watch it really. The knowledge that most of Europe hates his commentary just makes it sweeter

On at 8.00
