Just looking at these - the Russians have come up with a pub singer! As for Serbia - It lasted about a minute before stopping it.  Belgians - Clone sound-a-like of one of our own whinger singers - name escapes me. Once again a minute was enough. |

Quote: -- As one of the Big Four countries, the UK doesn't bother with them at all – it simply waltzes into the final with all the misplaced confidence of an out-of-shape Wimbledon seed.   Sorry, but that is such great imagery. More: --- Thirty-nine genuinely awful songs, all in a row, half of them cack-handedly trying to tackle a Big Issue and the other half trying to rhyme "fire" with "desire" On Latvia going out : --- The lyrics to What For? were written by Guntars Racs, who Eurovision calls "the most employed and played-back Latvian lyricist". That might not have been apparent last night, when Latvia's doe-eyed poppet Aisha channeled Guntars and asked "What for are we crying?/ What for are we dying?" before answering "Only Mr God knows" with the teary-eyed conviction of a woman who believed that she'd just untangled the most profound secrets of the universe. Latvia, you'll be missed. Briefly. What for are we crying? Who for when is this Mr Stuart Heritage? I think I love him.  |

Good innit!  The second semi final is tonight at eight. I really wasn't paying attention - but I think I'm going to get sucked into this. Damn those Eurovision vibes! Is it Party time on Saturday then?  Double Damn. I've a friend up for the weekend - so won't be able to partake. |

It's eurovision and we need to embrace it. If I remember - they were the ones that were "Tough on Grunting and tough on the Causes of Grunting"! I wonder who stole their trousers? |

Heehee, this pic is worth seeing just for the commentary. Mr Heritage again, I suppose...  Gjoko Taneski from Macedonia performs his song Jas Ja Imam Silata. He insisted that his stage show relied solely on his pure vocal tone |

 Hmm, so that's where Chris has vanished to. With a rockin ditty about the Mortal Orchard and Peace to the World. Representing Poland of all places! The sly dog. |

the other half trying to rhyme "fire" with "desire" ? That's about as hard as rhyming "hard" with "lard". What's the point of that comment? |

Eeeeek. I have just heard, for the first time, a snippet of the UK entry. Man!!! What were you guys thinking? It's possibly the worst song you have ever vome up with (Waterman and Stock sink to new depths....no wonder Aitken got out.) I'm not saying the Irish entry is any better! No. Actually. I am saying the Irish entry is better, a lot better. But I am not saying that is anything to be proud of. Look here, Britain has LOADS of talent, why for is it putting this $H!- in the contest?! If you had taken Katy Brand, and got Gary Barlow to write a rip off version of a Beyonce number, you would have knocked all the the rest out the ballpark - you would have won without even trying. Sheesh! Mother to God. I don't get it.  |

The joke is in the word ''trying''. Well, yes, but what's difficult about it? If you can pronounce one, the other shouldn't be any problem. (Unless you're from, say, Surrey, perhaps.) |

One is traying verey hawd. Efter awl. But, but, but, that's how I was brought up to pronounce "hard" and "all". I'm not posh. It's just how we pronounce it in the South. We don't do it for effect. What should we do? Start speaking with a northern accent to oblige?  And I don't like the Eurovision bloody contest either. We'll never win because we're the bad guys. And Russia's NOT Europe. |

Neither is Israel - and they've won it a few times too!

YES!! YES!! Israel. I'd forgotten them. We might just as well make it an International Song Contest, for crying out loud. Why would Israel and Russia think they are European? |
