I must admit, best ever eurovision, our entry was IMO the best we have ever had and the best there, altho there was some great acts, was expecting to se a repeat of NIL, but im glad to say either ppl look passed politicall views or noticed how good Jade was, a promising career ahead of her. UK sucks at the moment, the pig whores have been found out to be what iv always known they were, and with a bit of luck police will catch them all and expose the thiving basterds, I hope all who claimed expenses that they should not have are foung guilty of fraud and get a sentence, but I know it wont happen im sure Mr Big Police man will get a nice cheque, the world we live in.

I thought all the songs were terrible, I suppose the UK one was one of the better ones, but I hate pop and euro thrash music in general. I only watched as I did a few outsider bets, but Norway ran away with it early on. RIGGED! their song was terrible, but I knew there was something fishy when the bookies had them less than evs with everyone else 7/1 - 500/1 talk about fixed! It was a crap song yet they knew it'd win!?
I'm glad Ireland didn't make it, I hope we never win it again, it's a s**t competition, nobody really listens to that type of music anymore.

No, im not a big fan of pop, and when I say it was the best ever, i ment there was more than 2 good acts. Id say about 4-6 acts were superb the rest well, lol, typical eurovision. Dont think its ever been about the music, but a way to see how how political relations are working. But with a few beers and friends its such fun to watch, always good for a giggle.

I think the norway song was quite good. I thought the song Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote was rubbish although one of the better ones. I thought the Turkish song which we gave top marks to was awful. Back in the day we used to win eurovision a fair bit and to be honest I'm glad we don't win now because it will bankrupt us trying to stage it. Iceland are really lucky they only come second.
