Slap bang in the middle of the leaderboard after the jury vote. GRaham Norton saying anyone on the LHS could win after the public vote, but I don't think that's strictly true. If we win on public vote it'd be an absolute miracle
I think there will be some interesting meetings at BBC HQ when they debrief this year's contest. 0 points from the public is very telling. Will be interesting to see if they go for another " name" entry again next year or look for someone that's more unknown like Sam Ryder was.
So, some prat in a skirt doing acrobatics won. Next year we should enter Billy Smart.
In years gone by I could have sworn that there were songs (yes, remember them) sung sensibly & with a tune you could sing along to. You know....Whats another year or, god forbid, Waterloo. I defy anyone to be able to sing along to 90% of that garbage.
Good job I decided to watch the golf & then a film about Tony Hancock.
I've just seen the winner. Much as I dislike MK Dons and Crawley, they've done me a favour. Let's go for Shaun Ryder rather than Sam next time, accompanied by Bez of course. Nailed on

I think the song that won deserved to. I have to admit, Ireland was my favourite. The staging for our one was clever and it was better than it finished but it was not a winner. I think the public vote spoils the contest as it isn't about the best song although Switzerland did still win. Sam Ryder showed we can do well but you need a voice or voices that sound good live. Not just good but there has to have a real power to it.
I think we made the same mistakes as last year. Goodish pop songs but no impact live.

I think I won something for 3 countries in the top 5 I think.
Only put £5 on Croatia in the end, but its only a bit of fun
All we need to do is invade Russia and have them hand us our arses so the rest of Europe feels sorry for our nuclear wasteland.
