Yeah, nice bit of Photoshopping on the colour
In all seriousness, there is the occasional gem of a song that appears. But the appeal to me (and my 15 yr old son too) is the mix of kitsch, politics (are Ukraine going to give Russia douze points, again), dodgy wardrobe spotting (from the broadcasters reps giving the country scores especially), lavish staging (every broadcaster must hope their act won't win it so they don't have to blow 90% of their total budget next year to stage it), and general ludicrousness that makes for a good night's entertainment every year. Aside from the Scandi dramas on BBC4, it's the only Saturday night TV worth watching the whole year. Plus there's always a hope that some of the European Broadcasting Union's more distant members might take part one day - Lebanon, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco. Plus, my biggest wish - Vatican City . . .

Thanks for sharing morris_minor, especially the Poland one... I couldn't listen to the videos as I'm out at the moment but I gave up on Eurovision many years ago (Katrina & the Waves - Love Shine a Light anyone?).

Eurovision has never been the same since Terry Wogan stopped doing the commentary. I'm not the only one to think this . . .
