2 known for definate

Well thats it 2 songs known for definate now......... Switzerland and Albania and I have to say I quite like the Swiss song even though I am not sure it is a winner.

Bulgaria, Belgium and Israel have also announced male soloists but I cant say I'm suprised as none of them have won for a while if at all.

So with 4 males and a female who is the best so far............. well I have to say I prefer Switzerland to Albania!

It will be interesting to see over the next few weeks who gets the votes from various nations especially as there are some that seem to be going for the internal vote rather than the public...............

Is this the way the UK will go? I am not sure, the rumour is that Gary Barlow will be writing the song and that Duncan James will be doing something with it also........ Following the Norwegian 5th in 2008 and then a win in 2009 will it be the Uk's year to follow suit?

San Marino, Andorra and Montenegro have announced their withdrawal from 2010 due to financial contraints......but to some people I'm not sure this is a bad thing.

Having listened to the Albanian song, I have to admit that I like it! Got quite a good old disco beat to it! Could do well if they manage to turn it into a good live staging song.

I also like the Swiss song. It's good to see a simple serious song from them!

My favourite so far.... Albania!

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...

Not a winner.

So it's the beginning of February and the UK are all ready for Eurovision . For so many years we've had to wait until the last minute before finding out who was going to represent us. However, with the passing of Wogan's reign over the ridicule of Eurovision in the UK, we were told that it was now time to take it seriously again to bring the Eurovision back to the UK shores, rather than being the laughing stock of the rest of Europe. With UK fans having been told this numerous times before by the BBC, could we believe that this year was any different? Enter Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber , probably one of the best musical writers ever known (well, in my eyes anyway!) Maybe we were going to take it seriously this time. Stepping into Wogan's shoes, to take it seriously.... we choose a comedian!!?! To choose our entrant, 5 shows - 4 being live, with Andrew Lloyd Webber writing the song for the winner. Seriousness is thrown out of the window right from the start with so...

Oh dear Cyprus!

After watching the Cypriot final on eurovision.tv I am left with one burning question! Do Cyprus want to qualify from their semi-final? With a good number of entries over recent years I was looking forward to seeing the first national final to be webcast over eurovision.tv, however I really couldn't believe my eyes when the result was announced. One word that comes to mind with the winner is..... outdated! I could quite imagine this song being sung in an old black and white movie, but in the 2008 Eurovision - come on! It's about time that countries took this contest seriously! To win Eurovision now, you have to either have very good friendly neighbours or a damn good song. I know good songs are hard to find, but at least they could try! This song isn't even a good novelty song like Ukraine 2007. I'd say that this song would be a nil pointer, but everyone knows that they'll get 12 points from Greece! Here's a video of the winning song...... why Cyprus, WHY?!
