documentary about Eurovision on BBC 4 is really rather good

The Netherlands have confirmed for next year ... they're sticking with the same format of an established artist with a well written song.

Also, remember how in Trinjte's performance she kept looking off-camera as if someone was approaching the stage, well one of the cameramen apparently almost fell over

Wonder if this means they already have their entry? Would seem odd to boast a well established artist if none have agreed yet

She is just so lovely, I have to admit one of my favourite ever winners as my mum used to play me Ein Bisschen Freiden when I was little (my mum is German )

I loved her winner too. I used to look like her in my teens. Same hair. My mum used to play us Vicky Leandros Come what may all the time and Eres Tu.

The broadcaster have send they've already been contacted by a few high profile artists, so I assume there's at least a shortlist

Something like this would be perfect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01gwkcTID30

SILWY is doing much better on our ITunes prior to the contest than Molly last year. #42 already. I can see this being top 10 by tomorrow morning - something Molly never achieved IIRC.

Can't remember where she got to on iTunes, but Molly was #10 in the Wednesday midweeks the week after ESC

Me too! Rehearsals looked/sounded great. One of the entries that really comes alive on stage. Shame they're on so early, though

BBAnne · 23/05/15 - 15:02

When they arrived, hidden behind their weapons
There were thousands, they laughed at our tears
They wanted to destroy our beliefs under their fire
With words of hatred which were unknown to us

I’m here tonight in the middle of these ruins
To talk to you about hope and to sing to you about life
And I swear that when the blood dries
I will rebuild my village even more beautiful than before
But don’t forget

Beautiful lyrics from France, as usual (yeah, maybe not Moustache!)

21stCenturyBoy · 23/05/15 - 15:04

I just love France at Eurovision. Moustache aside, they radiate class!

The Polling company You Gov have done or will be doing a survey on Eurovision apparently. I wonder what they asked/will ask.

I better log in, I'm a YouGov member!

I was thinking it was a little bit more energetic than I remember.

I assume this is pre-recorded because he didn't seem to acknowledge the error.

Hey there!
