I see Australia's entrant, Jessica Mauboy has made the final top 10 (Some people might remember Jessica, playing herself, when she sang in an episode of Home & Away a couple of years ago, when John started the bushfire during the festival). I am not sure how they let Aust into Eurovision, but it is creating some interest down here. I think the final is being shown live at about 5am on Sunday morning (I won't be getting up that early to watch!!).

So Israel and Australia have relocated to Europe ... :hmm: I have not watched this for a few years now as it is a farce and the votes certainly do not get cast for music acts. Nevertheless, congratulations to Israel for winning :)

I will have to youtube the German entry, I thought UK's was not bad, shame about the idiot grabbing the mic and hurting the singer too, but have seen Israel's singer and it really is appallingly bad .. but so have been other winners before in recent years

So a song including the 'chicken dance' wins Eurovision.....enough said!!
