EUROVISION

« on: May 17, 2006, 02:59:44 PM »

So, am I the only saddo who can't wait for the musical extravaganza of the year on Saturday?

I LOVE Eurovision ever since I was five years old and Bucks Fizz brought home the bacon. I remember the utter feeling of dispair as poor Scott Fitzgerald with the fabulous ballard 'go' had victory cruelly snatched away from him by Celine Dion in 1987.

And Wogan - has me in stitches every year with his commentary.

In recent years I've increased my viewing pleasure with the odd flutter here and there, but yet to win a penny - my choice of winner usually ends up coming in 10th or thereabouts.

Come on - out of the woodwork with you all. Perhaps we could have a lively debate about the best ever Eurovision winner (Hold me now by Johnny Logan gets my vote), best UK entry (erm - not Jemini) and best song that didn't win (for me, My Star by Brainstorm for Latvia in 2000 - anyone remember it).

Erm.....I'll get my coat now.

Sorry Ang, but the only thing worse than an Englishman laughing at Johnny Foreigner is an Irishman pertending to be English doing it.

I hate the music as well.

Anyway - I'll stay off the thread from now & not be Scrooge, all power to those who enjoy it.

Don't get me wrong I think the music is terrible, but as the evening goes on and Terry gets drunker and takes the mick out of the presenters and the groups, it is funny, but each to their own I suppose

So you don't want to have a Eurovision party in Glasgow then Rod? Cheesy

I liked the Ukrainian winner Ruslana Cheesy

. I can't remember if she could sing though.

Terry Wogan is insane. I thought I spoke the biggest degree of p!sh, until I heard him. He is slightly insane. If I ever got stranded on an Island, I would be the unlucky bugger that had Sid Waddel and Terry Wogan as companions. The next Island along would have Girls Aloud and the cast of baywatch
