Nil Points.....Eurovision Saturday! What your feelings for Eurovision? Love it? Hate it? Its must see TV for me i admit.....just to listen to our Terry getting rather tipsy and ..... ahem ......."talking" about the acts....its so funny and worth watching for that alone! Im keen also to see what our European ladies think of Eurovision, i hear its pretty big in certain countries. I know a friend of mine at work who has Eurovision parties!!! Its so bad that its good. xxxxxxxxx

Hi Nicki, I think Terry Wogan's send up of proceedings is the only good thing in the whole event. I absolutely hate it. It is so pointless these days as the voting is entirely political and has nothing whatsoever to do with music - which seems to me to miss the point. You get these awful acts coming on lookinglike eighties throwbacks and wailing like banshees and their neighbours give them 12 points. Either they are trying to hang onto their oil supply or they've had a taste bypass - you decide!

I have seen eurovsion clips and it is almost like American/Canadian idol It is so bad it is good. the ratings here are nuts ...9 million people watched the final episode of AI last week in Canada alone and we still have Canadian Idol to start. Bronnie I am showing my age as I remember watching Abba on Eurovision I still have all their records Carol

It has become some kind of carnaval or freakshow.....It is not about talent or a good song anymore. And WHY did Russia win? It's a boring song, not very well sung either and the show was more a slimy 'I am so wonderfull, can you all see me?' show. I think something is very smelly here or am I wrong? I loved England, Denmark, Norway, Serbie and Israel. Wow that last man can sing!!! What did you think of Holland?

I really dont see the point of the UK entering again, we all know we're always going to come last. Its got to the point now where nobody is ever going to vote for us no matter how good we are. We should just do our own. . . UKvision song contest lol

Yeah we could make it like pop idol but all different cities instead of countries.. But then.....wouldnt we just vote for, say, Birmingham because our auntie emily lives there or something.........and not because it was a great song. Ha ha.
