    Eurotrash 2010...

    I know we came last now - and probably got 11 points more than that steaming pile deserved but after the UK's pile I gave up on this year's show on SBS (Shown in OZ on Sunday evening with unfunny Australian co-commentators). Too many dull ballads. Too much joyless crap. A couple of fluff bouncy cheesy songs not enough to save this from being the worst Eurovision I'd seen in over 20 years at that point. Absolutely. Bloody. Dire.

    I know UK came last but that Norwegian entry was diabolical.

      Two things:

      1. I thought the standard was OK, lots of awful ballads, yes, but a fair few surprisingly good pop songs from young and eager Eurovision nations, Azerbaijan etc. Turkey and Greek entries were banging.

      Overall, I think all these new and hungry nations are pushing the standards up.

      2. Graham Norton was fantastic I thought, I've completely forgotten about Terry Wogan. Not only is he pretty funny, but he's got genuine enthusiasm for the songs.

        Julia is usually much funnier... but last night I think she seemed to be trying too hard to strike a balance between serious coverage and piss-taking.

        It's almost unwatchable now, isn't it?... I managed about an hour before giving up.
