Eurovision S**T Concert?
Had to laugh this morning, when The Today progamme informed me that Ireland would be entering Dustin The Turkey as their entry for The Eurovision Song Concert.
Latvia is also surely in with a chance with its song Wolves of The Sea, Euro disco of the worst order,performed by three singers in pirate drag - but without a parrot to complete, they will surely be crying wolf this year.
Why is this contest still running at all, it's just a farce isn' it? Or do you watch it with a passion every year?
I haven't watched it for years, may just give it a go one last time. I have to be up early with a clear head for my godson's christening Sunday morning, so a night in with Eurovision it is. Perhaps it will be worth it, just for Wogan and Ken Bruce's commentary alone? Which artists would you have nominated for the British Entry?
Or am I wasting my time? Can we have a live WORD blog as the event takes place this year. Or do I need to get out more?

Think that's bad ???
The Spanish entry-Yes it's a piss-take. It's from a late night talk show. It's like a discarded Little and Large sketch and yes,it's not remotely funny but here they've gone mental over it.
It'll all end in tears
Rosa II: A Nation Mourns Again - I can see it coming.
Semi-Final's on BBC3 now....
.... UNBELIEVABLE!
I lasted two songs before lurching for the remote
Romania: a tender duet in G. Or it would have been if the woman hadn't been singing it in F sharp.
Russia: Euromayhem courtesy of a white-clad boy band with peroxide highlights in their hair. Yes, it's 1986 already in Nizhny Novgorod! Still, I think they were performing to Azerbaijan's backing track (or was it Montenegro's?), so I suppose they should be commended for soldiering on regardless.
I hate to say this, but...
...apparently, the bookies are tipping Ireland to be the winners this year. That ought to teach them for trying to take the piss and not taking it seriously....
...yeah, like I give a monkey's left tit anyway...
and that just goes to show
that the bookies don't know everything either!
*tears up ticket in rage...*
Eurovision
Are Abba the only act to have had a credible career on the back of Eurovision?
If it's all comedy this year, John Shuttleworth should have entered his Pigeons In Flight!
In the spirit of the Eurovision....
.. I couldn't resist posting this:
Rosa
Archie-I don't think the Spanish think they'll actually win it,Unlike the whole ROSA thing from 2002 where they thought all she had to do was turn up.Ironically they accused everyone else of cheating when she didn't win. Wonder how Sir Cliff feels ?
Rosa was an Alison Moyet(Topical) look-a-like without the voice, who won Spanish Pop Idol, whose song was in Spanish and had a couple of lines in English and was about Europe ,all alongside a Disco beat.All the right boxes but alas she was 6th or 7th. Think she advertises diet pills or something now.
Eurovision
I only ever watch the voting myself - much more fun.
The best ever song on Eurovision was:
Don't Go, performed by Hothouse Flowers, who were not contestants, but had been drafted in to pass the time during vote collation, at one of the earlier Irish hosted shows. I had never heard or heard of them at that time and it was a stunning tour de force that probably led many a reluctant viewer, there at the behst of Mrs Spikeys rallying call to all other spouses, to buy the CD. Which was free of anything else of that standard. It took me a long time to forgive that and give them a , deserved actually, 2nd pop.
All I Know...
...is that I have two six-year-olds and it's pre-empting Doctor Who. There are going to be riots in the street as they stab passers-by with their sonic screwdrivers whilst singing "Waterloo."
I'll be watching...
...and yeah, I would love the Hepworth/Fitzpatrick running commentary experience too, to accompany Terry Wogan's customary drollness. One thing though, for all its sheer awfulness, the Eurovision Song Contest is sure to be more entertaining than this year's Brit Awards was.
