    You only have to remember that however crap the UK entry is, it will still be the best song on the show and will come nearly last. The whole show is about political allegiances. The England match could be interesting...no contest. However, it does depend who has control of the remote in your house!

    Does any one in the world watch Eurovision genuinely as opposed to ironically like everyone I know.

    European countries take it seriously. Apparently they never understood why Terry Wogan sent it up all the time...he was the only thing that made it bearable. And he said the truth that once it was opened up to the East Europeans it lost every last vestige of a real competition.

    As someone who like both, Eurovision can go on the video. Unfortunately my dad will want to watch it live, so I'll have to watch the football on the portable in my room. Would be much easier if they made it a 3 o'clock kickoff.

    Well, if some of you are facing the gruelling decision on what to watch, do remember that Englebert is singing first. So you watch him, then turn over until the Nul Points are handed out.

    From past experience, Englebert has no chance unless he wears silver spandex...he's not, is he?

    Yes, the same conversation is happening in my house. I don't understand how she can watch that nonsense. She says the same.

    I watched it years ago when they had tuneful songs and the winning song was at least one of the better ones. Bring back Sandy Shaw. Jedward might have a chance in the present climate.

    That was actually catchy, though never realised that Red Indians were part of Norway's culture. At one time, they brought in rules that you had to sing in your own language. Think France didn't like the fact that most people sang in English (especially the Scandinavians).
