Hey, brilliant, another year, another night of Eurovision fun and I'm going to watch it for the first time in quite a few years. Got the beers chilling in the fridge ready for nine o'clock. Fantastic!
Of course the music is utter shite, but it still makes you proud to be European, doesn't it?

This is excellent. Some truly laughably bad songs and then along comes Moldova with their fantastic drumming grandmother. That certainly gets my vote so far!
I wish they'd go back to the rule of only singing in national languages. Understanding the words when they sing in English takes away 90% of the fun

Ahora España. ¡Olé que arte!

Sorry, I really do love this shit.

The Eurovision Songcontest once was a nice idea: Every country made a contibution in their native language and the songs were compared by a professional jury from each of the countries. Sadly the quality of the songs was hardly ever high.

The ESC was completely ruined by televoting (a commercial activity) and the possibility to perform each song in english (spoken in only 2 European countries)...

Nice item in the Dutch radionews: The Dutch gave most votes to Turkey... Well, my dear newsman... The voters mentioned are not even remotely dutch... but Turkish, of course... now how can I watch a competition in which public juries vote for themselves?

I didn't watch and I am glad I did it. Like Fonzie says, the original idea was quite nice, but it has been turned into a political game in which especially eastern European countries are quite good. Good singers are now beaten by the most unbelievable crap! I would advise the Dutch organisation who sends a singer to this contest to do the same as Italy: QUIT!

We watched the ESC with some friends together, I don't take this event so serious and do not want the old jury-times back, just a big show all over europe and very entertaining at all

My favourite song was Switzerland (Vanilla Ninja) followed by Croatia (??? feat. Lado). The worst was Bosnia I guess with a really

ABBA-clone...
Was the german song really so bad? Last place with only 4 points from the MoMo-connection (Monaco and Moldavia)

...but at least we're pope

I love the Greek song, really really nice. Only the singer was a bit arrogant, but you probably need that in that world.

My favourite was Romania, to be honest.

The Netherlands have sent a very good singer (as always), but the song s*cked.
