Eurovision Song Contest 2011

[HD Adam]

Baku is a great place to visit.

I lived there from 2003 to 2005 and have been back many times since.

There's lots to see and do as a tourist. Go, you might enjoy it.

The FCO always big up the threat (presumably to cover their bottoms). Most places are far less risky than they would indicate.

Unlike Israel who have already held it.

but they have never been part of Europe and should play no part in any European event. They need to really accept that they are arabic and part of the middle east.

With neighbouring countries reacting like this, is it any wonder Israel doesn't want to participate in competitions with their neighbours?

Lots of hottiesFar less hotties than we have grown to expect and far too many boy bands (and otherwise) from various European (or west Asian) counties giving the scores. Iceland and Slovakia where the highlights.

Well, well the Eurovison will be in Asia next year

Azerbaijan is transcontinental (like Turkey and Russia)

Unlike Israel who have already held it.

It's the Eurovision Song Contest, not the European Song Contest.

Israel has been a member of Eurovision for decades.

Next year's Eurovision hosting budget is about £3.75. I liked the pods Germany had last night, for everyone to sit in.

Azerbaijan is rich in natural resources. This is their once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase their country.

Expect 'shock and awe'

Personally I'd still like us to enter Bill Bailey into the competition with a comedy piss take of Eurovision musical act, with extra pisstaking commentaries by Graham Norton assisted by Dave Lamb the bod from Come Dine with Me.

I have just worked out why the winning song "Running Scared" seemed recognisable when I first heard it.

It is basically a simple chord progression in the key of C. C, Emin on B, Amin, F.

Apart from the short bridge it is this throughout the whole song which appears to be exactly the same as this Duet that I picked up on last year from Devlin & Yasmin, called "Runaway."

I'm 100% Sure it is just a coincedence as it is a very easy/common set of chords, just seems funny they are both duets, both have the same chords and both have something to do with running.

I was sure I recognised it from somewhere too!

Our song sounds like Tinie Tempah - Written In The Stars.
