Check out Loreena, awesome voice (Sweden). Not sure if shes been selected but I hope she is Maximum Euro goodness Shes got a sweeping vocal and would be brilliant singin over Trance songs. View in HD

Haven't seen any of the entries so far. I like to keep them a surprise for the night. Speaking of which...

TUESDAY 22nd MAY is the first semi-final.

BBC Three - 2000 hours
Scott Mills and Sara Cox host the first of two Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals live from Baku in Azerbaijan. Performers appearing include energetic Irish twins Jedward and Russia's Babushka grannies. They and 16 other acts compete to win places in Saturday's Grand Final. Special guest and UK representative Engelbert Humperdinck also drops by to look ahead to the final.

Did anyone else catch the Panroama investigation of Azerbaijan and how they are using it to political ends on BBC last night?

They are one seriously corrupt government.

Tis actually midnight in Baku, when it's 8pm our time. A 2am finish? Going to knacker the old grannies that is. LOL.

I have never once bothered to watch Eurovision. Is it not just a bit of a joke competition?
