Is anyone watching the Eurovision Song Contest tonight?

What do you think to the new marking scheme?

How do you think your country will do?

It will be on here as my DD is doing some homework on it for a study next week.

I aren't too sure what to make of the new marking scheme, and I think our song is a little better than last years, but saying that we can't do any worse than last year as we didn't even score.

Hehe was good in itself.
Well Done to Norway who ran away with the contest with their score.

Uk came 5th out of 27 countries. I haven't really enjoyed it before but this year it was quite entertaining.

We did watch portions of it and the Violin playing dude won, not sure that many of them were THAT good to be honest but in the past good singers and bands have come from this, ABBA being one, I remember Bucks Fizz and Europe (did they ever have another song besides the final countdown?) I loved Eiffel 65.
I wonder what country is next to host, it was Russia this year and cost an absolute bomb and I hear (through DH lighting technicians forums) that the food was ..... interesting LOL
