Ukraine should have won - total Eurovision cheese...

Watching the Fins at the weekend made me suspect there is too much 'kissing cousins' m'larky going on

Bulgaria was great and well worth watching.

Sounded like Bjork to me.





You have to speak one of the Slavic languages to feel the Serbian song. It was really sad , especially knowing what happened there with Kosovo.

My favorite was the Ukrainian song – so much fun.

I did spend a lot of time awarding shagability points to the female presenters from around Europe...but realy only Iceland did it for me

How about that last act? Can't remember where she was from.

The standards were extremely high in eastern Europe

What standards are we applying here?

I wouldn't download any of the songs, but musically, the German swing band and the Latvian tenors singing in Italian were OK.

Some of the acts were good though.

My choices were

FYR Macedonia
Georgia
and surprisingly France

Not surprisingly all failed, so either my taste is too eclectic or the voter’s tastes are dire.

I must admit I was enjoying the prospect of another null points for the UK when Ireland and Malta ruined it.

The UK song would have been fine in the 50s or 60s, and that,s the problem with many of the pop music in Western Europe for the Eurovision Song Contest.

The standards were extremely high in eastern Europe with on or two exceptions and|I think the winning song was a pile of lesbian poo.

Bulgaria was great and well worth watching.

The Greek song was so outdated, but even if the singer stuck the microphone up his bum and farted; Cyprus would still give them 12 points.

I'll think you'll find the UK is one of the biggest contributors to Eurovision whether we stage it or not.

So I blame Tony Blair for invading Iraq.

Sadly, this is very true.

Anyway, the trick is to NOT win. The winner has to host the event the next year at their own expense and give away the whole show to the other members for free. The daft Eastern Europeans haven’t figured this out yet.

Dunno how anyone could watch ever 1 second of it. Saw a picture of our entrants. They reminded me strongly of those brave sailors who got captured in Iraq.

How the hell did we even manage that! I've just turned on Sky News to be greeted with the result of the UK's entry for Eurovision. What a complete pile of sh1te! It was embarrasing to watch the news item.

I couldn't tell if they were meant to be airline stewards or Butlins blue coats. Cringe?? Knawing on my own liver would have been less excrutiating. Finishing second from bottom, I cannot fathom for the life of me how the hell it got nominated to represent us.

I know Eurovision is renound as the major European cheese event, but are we now a nation infamous for producing utter kack?? I'll ponder this while I'm walking the dogs this morning.

You're lucky! I had to sit with my family and watch the whole tulipe show.

There were only three decent songs, and they came nowhere, but the songs were immaterial anyway. The voting can be predicted with an atlas and a rudimentary knowledge of European politics over the last 100 years. I tell my family this but they still insist on watching the whole fiasco.

We seem to have only have two allies in Europe at the moment, Ireland and Malta. Serbia have loads - all the ex-Yugoslavia nations, plus all the other ex-communist countries. And I assure you, the Serbian song that won was also unmitigated crap.

So I blame Tony Blair for invading Iraq.
