Hairy, I respect you and I always enjoy your posts. But the European Song Contest really is for fairy's and little girls .

Its a fix too with the voting, its all about which countries like each other.

I love your comment, Chopps!

Yeah, I might be the only streight (spe?) guy who is enjoying the competition!

I ended up watching it....it's a joke and a fix but it's funny!! Glad to see the UK came second last, old Englebert Pumpernickel won't be happy......

Is that something like "American Idol?"

Anyway, the guy has a pretty decent voice and the song is pretty, though I don't have a clue what it's about.

It´s a competition among european countries and is held annually. Whoever wins it, arranges the contest the following year. It´s a 50 year old tradition in Europe.

This is the last night´s winner, "Euphoria" by Loreen, representing Sweden.

I think the reason the UK came second last was because we was first to perform and by the time all 26 acts had performed ours had been forgotten about.

The show is a joke though as some of the countries performances are truly awful..

Mostly though, Europe hates us lol, so we never do that well, often we are better than loads of other countries but usually we don't get the votes we deserve.

Judging by the clip of the winning performance, I would tend to agree.

I tend to agree. But I enjoy watching it because of the women. There are always some ten pointers you can rest your eyes on.

Russia's performance..

Russia's dancing grannies just about sums the whole show up.....

I thought things were supposed to have improved since the fall of communism.
