It was because we actually had a decent singer this year.

True, but the song itself was dreadful. I can't understand why we did as well as we did... :confused:

Meh, Norway's song wasn't bad but I didn't think it was good enough to win.. Oh well, I was proven wrong

cant believe he actually snapped the glass microphone statue thing as he set it down on the stage lol, song wasnt that bad, some far better entrys, Us being one of them, but politics and all that still and will always rule Eurovision.

The scandinavians have been successful because no one hates them rather than because people love them. They don't have any politics so can't annoy anyone.

i didnt say that they did...just said in general...reading too much into what i said?

Just watched it for the first time in about 10 years, still a politically motivated rig-fest. Why we bothered to enter I don't know.

It's simply a competition for Eastern Europeans to pat each other on the back.

It is a competition where the least talented wannabe stars belt out some of the worst songs you have ever heard in your life and make songs like Barbie Girl and Agadoo seem like Simon and Garfunkle classics.

I think the Eurovision should be scrapped and replaced with Euroviolence Chav Contest.

And you would want Britain to host this every year?

The UK would, since it would win it without fail.

I think the real stars were those Estonians! What a cool song that was and Im gonna see if I can get their album even.

The Norway song...yuck. But fair play to the dude..he wrote it himself and good luck to him.

I think there should be a Technical Award included in this contest for the stage - its the best stage I have ever seen ANYWHERE. Even the dang floor had screens! The way they used those screens to give a different mood to each song was fantastic. Well done Russia.

On to Oslo then.....

According to Graham they had 30% of the world's LED screens on the stage. Pretty cool.

I presume it was OLED not LED as LED is very common.
