Who watched the Eurovision song contest tonight?

[Catysg1]

I did and I'm Glad that UKRAINE(Xena the warrior princess... :) ) won ..I voted for them ...What a stage show and a great presence that woman had .

Fab choreography and what an energy and the guys were really YUMMY ;)
She even carried on singing when they lifted her up in the air...I really loved their leather outfit ...so cool ;)


Bravo UKRAINE...You were fab tonight :D

Did you guys get no points again this year? I was laughing so hard when I heard that last year! :P

[Bagpuss]

Now,Now,Teal'c, no need to single any Country's efforts out as laughable! ;)

Be nice to Caty at least! :p (Friendly :p ,btw!)

(If you want to read what I thought of the "Contest",have a peek at "Music ATM "thread,btw!) ;)

No one got no points, which I find slightly disappointing, it's the best bit, laughing about it, even when they are British and so I should be supporting them!

I only watch the show for Terry Wogan, it's not worth it if he's not doing it. He's so dry, it's absoultely hilarious!! And that's something I thought I'd never admit to!! :)

The Eurovision is only bearable because of Terry Wogan.

I have no idea why im posting this, but if you are interested, Norway (who had 'nil points' for ages) finished with the lowest score, only 3.

Ukraine: 280 Points (Highest Score: Winners)
UK: 29 points
Ireland: 7 points
Norway: 3 points (Lowest Score)

Maybe its just me, but im sure the xena woman who won it had a sort of heavily embellished swastika on her right bicep. Charming...

One day I hope we stop putting forward a candidate and just witness the whole thing through Terry Wogans eyes, then I might even watch the whole 'spectacle', though I suppose this years offering wasnt too bad.

Couldnt believe the riverdance steal...im glad Wogan could joke about it...

We shouldn't have been in it this time, as the lowest 6 countries are supposed to be dropped for a year, as there are more countries who want to participate than there are places. But, because we put so much into Eurovision, It was decided that they couldn't afford to drop the U.K.

I couldn't bring myself to watch the show this year, so I missed the wonderful songs, I just tuned into the voting. It was nice to see that the usual voting standards prevailed, with friends voting for friends.

No, we got a few points here and there but Norway nearly ended up with the obligatory 'Nul Points'.

The Ukraine was my fave too, although the song itself wasn't much cop the performance was fab. Go Xena! I also liked the Belgian and Swedish entries. The funniest bit was the Turkish (?) presenter caught off guard and picking her nose. She had no idea she was on camera :D . My friends usually have a party every year and we award points for song, performance and frocks. I thought we were the only ones who did this but our host this year printed off a score sheet from the BBC website and it had the same stuff on it. IMHO there were too many chaps in white suits singing power ballads this year. Boooooooring! :rolleyes:
