burntcopperGreece won. Well, they were favourites, and it was decent song with decent dancers. They will have massive hangovers...
All bits in italics are quotes from Saint Terry of Wogan, patron saint of Eurovision.
01 - Hungary
Oooo, riverdance boys in black with added hungarian. Good dancing, girl skimpy black, half trousers. Jaunty!
'where's Michael Flatley when you need him?'
02 - UK
Skimpy, red pretty dancers, belly dancing tops. Grecian short yellow dress, knee high gold strappy sandals. This is actually good. Turkish rhythm and interludes. Mmm, legs. Dancing rather kiss kiss.
03 - Malta
Fat bird, pretty power ballad, *v* 'I am your lady'. Nice voice, hmm, bit of rocking. Red dress, sparkles, full flowing with lots of cleavage.
04 - Romania

08 - Albania
Pulls red scarves off to reveal backing violinist girls. White cleavage top, long split skirt with red ruff up edge. Pretty girl, rather jaunty, just not that much to differentiate.
'Is it me or are you finding it difficult to tell one song from enough this year?'
09 - Cyprus
backing dancers pretty in small silver sacks also baggy jeans and tight black vests for boys. Pretty boy in pinstripes and tight white t-shirt. Also silver gloves. White sticks as props, backing singer shoirt baggy silver dress with massive sleeves that hit the floor. Rather fun, timberlake ish.
10 - Spain
Terribly spanish entry.. metallic full skirts - one in blue orange gold, flouncing them around, hip hop backing boys bouncing around. V. Bouncy, a touch of the macarena. Oh dear god, the backing dancers are throaty versions of U2. Oo, girls lifted to show off legs.

12 - Serbia Montenegro
Lots of boys in jackets and tops. Boy band attack. Ooo, pretty. Nice singing front couple. With bad in time backing dance that looks like they're trying the grapevine and failing, added drumses. Bouncing into circles! The front are being slashy...

Rock! Leather half-length coat with missing sleeves, leather opera gloves faded jeans lots of 'aiee-yai' headbanging guitarists! Flirts with bassists.

Two ballad guitar pretty boys in white jackets + shirts and jeans. Very boyzone. They look like they're TWELVE.
24 - France
Greenish drop waist dress with yellow sash. Backing dancers boy/girl in black. Boring and french. Trying to dance and just being boring. Lots of slow-motion leaning.
Pouting. No Bucks Fizz moment. AT ALL. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Toss-up between Norway and UK at moment. Have voted Denmark because he was far too cute.
OOO, drumming. And, er glockenspiels.
OMIGOD. Body artist. Every home should have one, he's fucking lovely and ... Bodies should not bend that way, but my god it's pretty.
Ruslana has done flamethrowers in white and sparkles, and now red things with necklaces made from skittles.
Granny appears to be doing well. Oh dear. What the fuck is with all the votes for Latvia and Romania? I suspect Latvia's getting all the teenybopper votes. Heh. And Greece is pulling ahead. Hoi, Germany were quite good! And ours was a decent pop song. France, yeah, no-one else likes French songs, but this is plain depressing.
Greek girl is going absolutely nuts. Oooo, president. Wow. I want that thingy he's presenting, it's fucking gorgeous.

Steve and I had a similar conversation about that :
"He looks about twelve, and the other one looks about fourteen"
"Yeah, but he'd look twelve too if he cut his hair short"
