Notice that Estonia and Latvia have given the UK some points, if only through votes from the "stag parties are our bread and butter" bar and brothel owners of Tallinn and Riga....
I did really like Norway, I'm a bit distressed by how badly they're doing. Sweden did really well last year with a song that was basically the same as Norway's present effort except slightly less good.
I seriously think you'll have to send One Direction next year, they'd get the gay vote if nothing else. As for us, we jump back and forth between earnest ballad and wacky novelty to little effect - could Johnny Logan have won if he was performing in the modern competition?
I think you'll find it was 2 - 2, as that was the only score that ensured both teams progressed at Italy's expense. I was at the game. Great fun for all concerned. I remember a banner that read, '2 - 2 and the spaghettis go home.'
The Swedes really take all this shit seriously. The Swedish pre-selection show for Eurovision goes on for months and the national semi-final and final is a massive gala held in a stadium. Tickets sell out almost instantly and people come from all over Sweden to Stockholm to watch it. It has been the most watched programme on Swedish TV for the last 12 years.
Last night you'd think they'd won the fucking world cup they way they were going on.
Then I was at one of those horrific Spotify house parties and after listening to hours of shit music, somebody asked me to put on a song. I put on T. Rex and got dirty looks from everyone. They turned it off after 15 seconds and put on Lady Guetta or something or another.
If people can't dance to 20th Century Boy then something is wrong with them.
