    Go on then, who's going to admit they are watching it ?

    I did!:lol:

    Must admit I liked the Swedish song, not sure I liked all that prancing around like Kate Bush but she did have a beautiful voice.

    Isn't it about time we pulled out of Eurovision-how much do we pay every year anyway?

    So Poland gave the United Kingdom 4 points in the Eurovision Song Contest...

    I thought countries couldn't vote for themselves

    If you want to watch it for the first time (again?) - see below.

    I flicked over for the first time when that chubby Azeri "pop star" was singing some nonsense, and at the end of the song when the subtitles came up (I have them on when I'm watching a programme with my elderly mother) they quoted the Irish BBC fella as saying "That was Ed Milliband. That was Ed Miliband... ", before the subtitles went onto say "That was Emin Agalarov".

    I was so non-plussed to read that the current Labour leader was singing at EuroVision that I post-recorded that couple of minutes to confirm the fact. It's true - According to the BBC, Ed Miliband did sing "When you give all you've got to give, it's never enough..."

    For live events, subtitles can be an essential addition.

    Tom,
    Maybe it's simply a lack of space.
    With all the so called reality shows on here we really don't have room for any more. How could that possibly displace the obese, dwarf, gypsy bride searching for a wedding dress with her Amish family in the bayous of Louisiana?

    Eurovision is great. You know who is likely to lose before it even starts!

    Crikey that is a lot of loot! My first purchase was 'Return to Sender' (I did and they did) some American ex squaddie sang it - memory here - RCA Victor 2/- (two shillings) My bruvver bought Del Shanon 'Swiss Maid' - never been to the Swiss land - and he is certainly to blame for that!
