Watching it now. Loved it since the early 70's.

FWIW I watched Britain's got Talent tonight which is unusual for me as usually fall asleep :),there was a school girls choir that sang Nessun Dorma that would've knocked any of the Eurovision songs or singers* into a cocked hat


*I heard the winning song,it was poor by any standard and if that was the best on offer I wouldn't have liked to have heard the worst :?

No, but I did suffer ten seconds of it when I turned the TV on when I got home from work before I quickly found a program on my TiVo to watch.

I have watched every Eurovision for the past 39 years.
It's an awesome party night, pizza and plonk.

Last night I ate far too much.

And, no evidence of anti-UK scoring, either by judges or the phone-in. Romania should have won though.

I like to watch to see just how abysmal (=funny) some entries are, and guess whose going to vote for who, often a bit predictable.
