8 Days Till We Go......

To Belgrade and I really am not excited about it............NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All is in order and myself and Colin will be in Belgrade from Monday 19th until Sunday 25th May, hopefully we will still be able to give some interesting views on what we think and I'm sure that our views on certain songs will change.......

I myself with 16 days to go till the final am almost totally convinced that FYR Macedonia will qualify but not sure who will forfeit their place for them.

Poland for me is now one that I think the Juries will choose rather than the televoters, but hey what do I know.

It would be nice to see Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium and Poland in the final along with the Netherlands but how will the voting public react to the songs............we will soon see.

The stage is set for the participants and their delegations to arrive and the rehearsals are due to start next week..... I wish I could have gone earlier but again I have not got enough time off from work.

Good Luck to all the participants and if your going to Belgrade let us know.

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!
