I have always liked Eurovision but, after last year, I LOVE it.

My youngest turned 21 last April and for her birthday, she asked to go to the contest in Copenhagen.
Went to 2nd semi final and the final

So camp and fun. It was the best thing ever. and we even met Graham Norton!
( he was on our flight back!)

I wish I was going to Vienna this year but my now 22yr old Eurovision Fan has her final exams

:-( :-( :-( :-(

Let's vote for a home-grown presenter. Jeremy Clarkson, who is currently receiving JSA, might be considered.

Graham Norton commentates for hte UK these days. Not quite up to Wogan's sarcasm level yet but he is getting there!

Don't count on it. Portugal have been competing for over 50 years and still haven't won it :-D

Has anyb ody listened to any of this year's entries yet?

'Emma' Report 23 Apr 2015 15:47

It's not as good as "the voice" Rose ;-) :-D

Dermot

Dermot Report 23 Apr 2015 15:47

We are bound to win again soon - the law of averages. We have been teetering towards it for a while now & will eventually succeed.

Yeah, Dermot, you are right, I guess it's the way music has evolved, go to a pop concert by any modern day pop star and you will see dance routines, backing singers, fancy staging, etc.

Occasionally, though, you still get a backlash to that sort of thing. Last year's Netherlands entry, for example, was simply two stools, two vocalists, and a guitar, and it was 2nd.

This supposed 'Song Contest' usually contains an excess of dancing plus over-the-top 'Guy Fawkes' flashing lights.
