Eurovision Song Contest Sat 20th

[Tori]

i only tend to watch the voting- i mean the music is nice but well, not all that interesting!

[Katy]

i love the dress sense of some of them. England are never going to win, i find it laughable that it got through to be honest. There was a big fuss when he was signing at HMV so obviously someone likes Daz.

[FROGGY]

I find there is a good year for songs then a bad year. I think last year was a bad year, hence a boring programme, so hopefully this year might be reasonable.

My kids like to stay up and watch and we get party nibbles in, although my daughter has not, yet, managed to stay awake through the voting.

There may be some "political" voting going on, but I think that despite this, it is always the best song which actually wins.

[Katy]

I have some of the songs and they arent that bad. The irish on is quite good, you should hear some of the people who didnt qualify its hilarious.

[Pixie]

I found it funny when the Greek presenters came on in Peter Pan style. That's why we love Eurovision - because of the ott presenters and performers. Apart from Daz ofcourse. He's the only normal one there.
