Hello and welcome to the new Eurovision Blog. First off, let us introduce ourselves......

Hi, I'm Colin from Wrexham, North Wales. I've been a Eurovision fan for a number of years now. My interest started through Eurovision being a family event every year. On moving in with my now wife and connecting to the internet, my interest has grown. My first visit to a Eurovision was in 2006, when I went to Athens. I am also the webmaster for Maltese song writer Gerard James Borg.

Hi I'm Paul living in Leicestershire and have been a massive Eurovision fan since Cheryl and Jay ripped theirs skirts off in Dublin, Ireland. I love everything about Eurovision, "The Songs,The Singers, The Camp, The Kitsch" absolutely everything. My favourite countries in Eurovision are Malta, Sweden and The Netherlands. My favourite winner is Motliva which would coincide with my first visit to a real live Eurovision Song Contest!


We hope you enjoy reading this blog and feel free to leave comments! Eurovision is our passion and remember "No dream impossible" and we hope you'll be "On top of the world" on reading the blog! ENJOY!

Well another year's contest is over and I'm now back at home. So what are my thoughts on the contest? There are two things that stand out this year.... 1. Belgrade's/Serbia's apathy towards the contest, and 2. The results (as always!) So let's look at them in turn.... 1. After the recent elections, it appears that Serbians are keen to join the EU and after many years of troubles, which I will not go into, I would have thought that hosting the Eurovision would have been an excellent way to show what they are capable of. However, in the city itself, you would have been hard pressed to actually know that the contest was taking place! For most of the week, the only thing you could see with regards to the Eurovision was that a few shops were cashing in on the merchandise, a single information stall in one of the squares and I saw one advertisment for the Azerbaijan entry (there may have been more). So why did they not take up the opportunity? Was it that after the rec

Why?!

So Terry Wogan has finally retired having damaged the reputation of the Eurovision Song Contest in the UK for far too many years. So, considering that the UK seem to be trying to take the pre -selection a bit more seriously by having Lord Andrew Lloyd- Webber help, who do they decide to take over? GRAHAM NORTON!! WHY?! For one, Graham Norton has no experience at commentating. Two, I doubt Graham Norton has any experience of being serious! So we'll be subjected to more poor jokes, tasteless innuendos as the BBC moves the commentating more away from the music. How can Terry Wogan complain about the contest moving away from being a Music contest, when the BBC has failed to treat it as such for so long! So here's to many more years of Eurovision being a total joke in the UK!
