Only one song from Denmark to Norway didn't end up in the top 10 - and 4 of the bottom 5 were in the first 5 songs. So going up early is a no no. I think Moldova (the only one of the first 5 not to end up in the bottom 5) could have done a lot better if she was on later. It's also quite...

I presume you're talking about Lynda Woodruff? She's a character created by Swedish singer Sarah Dawn Finer (the one who sang the ABBA cover later in the show). The original sketch with her is from Melodifestivalen 2012, and that made fun of Azerbaijan hosting and her pretending to be a...

The BBC will never pull out as long as it remains a hugely popular TV show like this. It remains a night of cheap entertainment guaranteed to pull in huge ratings. And if they did pull out, ITV would just pick it up. No matter how many people complain, we're in it for the long haul.

I was thinking that (and really sad with it too). The way she said 'I think I've been murdered' really chilled me. I love her character so I'm glad she didn't stay dead. Excellent episode all round, some really good use of tying up some arcs and answering questions - and now the question of...

They are a big name over Europe in the charts so I was expecting them to do well too. However it means UK did 2nd best out of all of the top 5!!!11!! YAY! Anyway, underwhelming winner - not had one of those IMO for a while. :( I did love 2nd, 3rd and 4th place though so there is hope for my...

Romania's my least favourite in the final, it's just bizarre. Bulgaria was sooo good, such a shame it didn't make it to the final - the same act made it in for them in 2007 so I had been hoping. Norway is really modern and credible electropop, I hope it can do well although I'm worried people...

Yeah, they are going for the trick of appealing to as many people as possible. It's those damn Voice contestants. I'm hoping and expecting that many of those will cancel each other out (even if I do like some of the MoR stuff a lot) and votes will go to the more unique songs but when the likes...

I doubt that. Because of so many countries the odds of no-one chucking your entry at least a point are slim. Hasn't been one in the final since UK 2003. Well by that I mean something I couldn't stand to spend 3 minutes listening to (which is rare as I'm fairly open-minded about these things...

Awful results in tonight's semi. A few of my favourites, the strong ones, got through but I really liked all the non-qualifiers - and my 4 least favourites got through. Bulgaria and San Marino especially, really sad for them; they never qualify and they had really good songs. Bulgaria was...

That'd be fine and would make sense. I still wouldn't like it though, as the Voice tends to inflict bland (but good) voices on us wherever it goes. Look at The Voice contestants in last night's semi. Austria, Belgium, Russia.. they're not performers. Good singers but visually boring. That said...

Quite sad about Serbia and Montenegro not making it, the former was very trashy Eurovision and the latter I've been enjoying a lot recently (and it would have been their first qualification). Lithuania and (to a lesser extent) Belgium were DULL DULL DULL. Not particularly good singers either...

Wasn't that bad, the kids didn't irritate me as much as I was fearing, barely registered them actually. The Cybermen were OK being brought back but they aren't as much engaging villains as they are a threat that results in high body counts. Matt Smith's acting for two was easily the best part...

The BBC don't care, it's a ratings hit no matter what, there's unfortunately not much motivation from them to do well anymore (:(), so they just get the biggest washed-up name they can find to attract press. Also, the Belgian one is one of the more boring ones, so don't let that put you off...

Yes, it's that time of year again for Europe and the Europeans amongst us for the most watched show on earth (according to the BBC3 thing on earlier), so I'm starting the thread this year. It's probably the only thing I'll do around here anytime soon. Anyway... if you don't want to get...

I agree with you completely! I love 80s pop too, but the 21st century has so much more to offer. That sort of thing you've posted there is why I do love K-Pop on occasion; it's not my favourite musical genre but it's wonderfully sweet (most of it), unique and underrated. Also, can never resist...

It's quite OK (mother father gentleman *.*) but is not as iconic as Gangnam Style, and the video, while fun is a bit of a cheap rehash. It will probably do well but it won't get to anywhere near the same level of remembrance (like Eiffel 65 and Aqua have other hits but no-one remembers anything...

That is a great album, I love most tracks on there, a bit of strong-vocalled balladeering always manages to make me feel good. Particularly the singles, The Lonely and Bang Bang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d_HD89ZlJE Been absolutely loving this duo over the past few months, a perfect...

I really started liking her music last year, before I'd passed over it, but now it's completely the opposite of hate here. That's down to taste though, I can understand there'd be those who might dislike/hate her music. But as an person she seems lovely, I don't know of anyone who actually...

Spammed up my Facebook though, didn't you? :p Very decent pics, I shall have to utilise his services next time I see him.

For the record, I'm very big on Finnish acts overall because the language is very pleasing to the ear, despite me not speaking a word of it. And even if they are singing in English their singing accent sounds quite.. cute. Depending on the singer of course.
