Forgotten 2006 already? (Semi-final)

...then here's a quick re-cap of the performances in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest semi-final. I particularly like song number 10 from Monaco ;-)



And for those of you who are still crying at Kate Ryan not getting through (she came 11th) here's her performance:



I myself was disappointed Estonia didn't get through.

Jordan - a weapon of mass destruction?

Lots of people have told me they missed Jordan's entry in Making Your Mind Up last year so here it is. Would she have done any better than Daz Sampson or would those huge boobs have dragged her down to the very bottom of the scoreboard?

Is Eurovision ready for Busted?

The rehearsals have started and you can already practically watch the whole contest of Youtube. It may be a bit unfair to compare this band to Busted but you have to admit there are similarities. This entry is really growing on me, I just hope Andorra can grab enough votes to scrape through to the final.

2007 Semi-final Preview

Here's a preview of all the songs in the semi-final.

More Eurovision controversy

Some poor woman has actually come out and accused Scooch of stealing her song. If they were going to plagiarise they could at least steal something a bit better. Personally I think it's just coincidence but just for yourself.

Scooch Vs Pandora

Tony isn't the only one celebrating a 10 year anniversary

Ah remember the spring of 1997? Cool Britannia was at it's ridiculous peak, Labour won a landslide general election, and Katrina & The Waves won their own landslide victory at Eurovision. Just like Labour's fortunes, it's all gone a bit downhill for us in Eurovision since.

That's so 1995

...that's how a friend of mine described Scooch's UK Eurovision entry this year, which reminded me that we nearly sent something quite similar back in 1995, 'Deuce - I Need You.'



In hindsight it probably would have done better than Love City Groove. Eurovision really wasn't ready for rap in 1995, it probably still isn't.
