I have all CD's since 1956!
I never listen to other candidates, I only listen to the song of our own country. Afterward I download the CD and get to know the songs.

I liked Susanne Georgi from Andorra a lot last year.
My alltime favourite is Magda Rusza from Hungary in 2007 with Unsubstantial Blues.

I'm a geek.

Terry sadly quit eurovision after Russia won in 2008, so sadly we've got that other guy (you know, that one with the accent)

Graham Norton (that was his name) is an ok commentator in my opinion, and he doesn't have as much experience as Terry did. I hope he's not doing the commentary for the semi finals as well.

I love Eurovision. Haven't watched any of the songs this year, yet. Saw a little of the UK's qualifying contest (dire) and Ireland's (worse).

My wife and I were driving through County Cork over the weekend and passed through the little town of Millstreet which still has up a sign "Proud Host of the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest."

Favorite songs: Sebastian Tellier "Divine," Lordi "Hard Rock Hallelujah," Telex "Eurovision," France Gall "Poupée de cire, poupée de son."

Agree and it's a waste of money, what's the point of it if almost all countries sing in english rather then in their own tongue in a competition promoting multiculturalism?

funny thing is, singing in english doesn't garantuee a better score Wink remember urban tred with their non-existing language? 2nd place and almost first in fact.
