Oh what the hell Europe?

I like the song on the CD. And the spaceship landing lighting effect makes my heart beat (bumpa bump just like the creepy heart graphics this year). But lord the performance had no redeeming qualities. They look like they are nice people though -- but how did this win?

Well Diablo is Italian and had been following their entry since San Remo (I can't watch San Remo the hosts just go on and on for days and days (leterally) it's usually more than an hour before they sing their first song.

God Blue was even more out of tune than Ken and Barbie.

What did Diablo think of Italy?
Are you saying the Italians are even worse than the Spanish? I once put myself trhough Operacion Triunfo (2003) and vowed never to do that again. Urgh. Talk about going on and on and on and on...

Switzerland was robbed sweetie.
But they made it to the final!
Are the Swiss rejoicing or complaining?

Nobody can beat the Macedonians for length of national final. Usually clocks in at 5 hours.

Surely you mean the... FYRMacedonians? ;-)

Thanks for the cut - I actually got spoiled on FB by a local who'd read it online in the Greek newspapers. Honestly.

The main comment on FB is "where the hell is Azerbaijan?" I knew the answer to that, sadly, and have been informing people left, right and centre.

Didn't see any of the show - played a late soccer game and then Dean was watching DVDs. Saw a brief bit of the scoring then decided it was pointless and went to bed. Disappointed Ireland did so well - they must have been a lot better than they were in the semis - happy the UK did though (maybe that'll shut Wogan's whinging up a bit).

Incidentally as a result of watching "The Secret History of Eurovision; part 2" on Friday night I've had Ukraine's winning entry on the brain all weekend. Which is good (great song) and bad (all weekend).

Go! Go! Go wild dances!
Na na na na na wanna be loved Hey!

Ahem. Sorry. Are the Uk happy with 11th? I thought they were convinced they were going to win, so that there would be a lot of bitching and "because of the war" and "because we're so superior".

I reckon that if Azerbaijan can take part in Eurovision, so can Australia. Right?

Total agreeance with most of what you've written. Though I did like Finland--it was just a cute song. And I really think Serbia should have one. Nina was just gorgeous.

I love that the hosts said hello to Australia this year. I think it may have been because our hosts did such a good job of flirting with the contestants. Julia Zemiro and the Russian guy... wow... definitely something going on there!!! HAHAHA
