If you've got BBC HD it seems just to be broadcasting the vocals!!! Not sure if it is more or less entertaining......

The German entry is the worse so far - sorry but, apart from singing out of key half the time, the girls looked like porn stars

I can't stand much more and we're only at song 6 - I think a two hour bath is calling!

Must say I quite liked Denmark's song. Other good ones so far: UK, Israel, Sweden and even this current Georgian song is quite ok. Favourite Ukraine is next...

Didn't watch but I am sure they were rubbish.
They are Germany's answer to the Spice Gilrs.
Nobody needed a second Spice album either ...

Nope! The honour of worst song of the night was ours. Spain sent our own version of the Krazy Frog.

Deliciously awful! Olé!

Ah yes, the Spanish song was quite a gem wasn't it!!

And the French one was quite amusing too!

And what is with these people currently jigging round the stage painted red and blue

Worst interval act in living memory.
France: Nul points.

Norway's the best IMO, but there's always the probability of an Eastern Block stitch up when they all vote for each other.

Well done to Russia !

And Sir Terry even expresses a little doubt about going next year....

I guess he has read the Grrrrr Moscow thread and doesn't fancy 4 hours in a tatty 767

Moscow in 2009!

Hi,

Russia won this year with Greece and Ukraine behind.

UK finished joint bottom with 14 points ( San Marino gave us 6 and Ireland gave us 8)

Regards

Why on earth do the UK continue participating in this nonsense,thank God I can't watch it.
In the old days it WAS quite entertaining but over the years ithe quality has just got worse and worse.

Simple HIDDY... we (partially) pay for it (along with Germany, Spain and France) - who bankroll the European Broadcasting Union.

I think its just a bribe for us so we don't have to mess around with the qualifying.

What we REALLY need to do is find an East European voteblock and brainwash them into voting for the UK entry next time.

When are we going to stop entering nohope singers and cr*p songs?!? As I understand it the Russian winner was their Robbie Williams - surely that is the calibre of singer we need?

If we did that then we could stop blaming block voting!

Come on, did you see some of the countries that got high scores (Azerbaijan for example)? What we need to stop doing is entering acceptable songs and enter any old piece of crap and just make sure there's a spectacular (or bizarre) performance. Our friends in the East seem to have a difference sense of tuning/hearing and therefore vote for truly terrible songs whether for the campery or for the sing itself!



Oh, and don't take all of this too seriously!
