Numb?

WORSE than Numb!

The most unlikely winners actually end up winning the event. Last year, a horrible, dreadful song by Russia won. That's how it always goes.

I remember sitting in front of the tv last year, watching one of the semi-finals. I wrote down the best and worst songs and nearly all bad songs went through to the finals. Europe has no taste; a Dianne Warren ballad may just win.

She wrote the lyrics. The music is by none other than Andrew Lloyd Webber!

I would like to believe our Malena will do very well in ESC. She will certainly be the only opera star! But considering that the international jury gave the song only 1 point, maybe it won't do that well in Europe after all...

"Je t'aime amour, quans j'entends la voix..."

The danish entry is so appallingly bad that I won't even link to it. In my opinion it was the worst of the 10 mediocre (at best) songs in our national competition.

I haven't yet heard the song; I'll check it out later. But Andrew Lloyd Webber is certainly somebody who wrote some masterpieces. Interesting choice by the UK, and rather different from their entries in recent years. Gemini being the most memorable

One can hope.

aawww, N & C telling us to enjoy Eurovision on the twitter page...thank you I will!
I looove ESC and am not ashamed to admit it.

I think Norway is going to win. I predicted that even before Alexander Ryback had won the Norwegian final. I think Psb fans might enjoy the Albanian entry this year. It's one of my favourites this year...

Looking forward to the German part supported by Dita v. Teese.

Why have about half of the songs got the same vaguely Turkish-sounding backing track?

Woo! look who was right. I think that was probably the best final ever. The winning song might just actually become a hit outside of the ESC fan circle, it already is top 10 in Sweden.

Great news for The United Kingdom

Congrats, Britain, nice performance! And Norway, of course.

What number did Britain finish at? couldn't be bothered to watch it this year.

Fifth.

UK finished at #5, pretty respectable.


Norways was rubbish, I wanted to punch that guy's face.


(no offence to anyone from Norway, peace)
