Second that!

Such a shame as well, would have loved to have seen how they'd have staged 'Moment of Silence'. Never-mind, I'm sure they'll come up with something good for next year....
I think this was said to be the staging

Just a reminder that voting for the Eurovision's weirdest moment contest closes at 5pm tomorrow, I hope to start results from around 6pm.

I've received votes from these people so far, thank you for your votes.

To be fair, she was pretty dreadful. That wasn't her style at all. I like the Saara with the vocal gymnastics and creativity of 'No Fear' - Not prancing about half naked, screaming at the top of her voice.

I have a Windows phone, so I had to pay real money to Simon Cowell.

She could be disqualified as well - "River Deep Mountain High" isn't a Motown Song.
(its a Phil Spector Wall of Sound song, and came out on A&M records)

If you haven't got a penis, Louis isn't interested. There was no need to drag Saara under the bus like that.

And Honey G's Notorious BIG effort only sampled Diana Ross.

She's not welcome in his basement, that's for sure.

Slut shamer!

Poor Saara, if she couldn't win over the GBP with Let It Go then I doubt she'd manage to pull it off this week.

I actually thought she did a good job, yes she got a bit excited with it, but boy can she sing- Chucked my 5 votes her way (Although if she does go out I do think the beeb should be talking to her about entering You Decide if she want's to keep up her UK profile)

Really wanted to do a Retro themed contest this week so I have decided that the competition is to find the best song by a solo female artist at Eurovision during the last century (i.e between 1956-1999) . Of course many solo female songs have featured in previous contests on here so it would be great if some original entries were put forward. I will be taking entries until 16.00 on Sunday 16th October. Am working the rest of the week but will be online in the evening's to confirm your choices so don't worry if you don't hear from me too quickly.

Start sending NOW

(No contest winners to be sent please..Sorry Sandra Kim fans!)
You have just over 4 hours to save this weeks contest. Only have 9 entries so far. Would like to at least double that to have a viable show. Thanks to the 8 that have sent suggestions.

As long as she's not lying there naked and staring at the phone.

Thanks for all the afternoon additions. We have a show...More 1970 than the semi of 2007 in size! Will sort them all out and reveal later.

OK, welcome to the results of the contest to find Eurovision's weirdest moment of all time.

We had 18 entries, including one guest entry that will not count towards the ultimate FM scores at the end of the year. Shockingly, renowned basket cases Ruslana and Kaliopi both missed out on selection for a contest that seemed to be made for them.

So let's get started, the entry finishing in 18th and last place is...

Odd goings-on in Israel here, but plainly just not odd enough for our voters.

Mermaids clearly not as popular as milkmaids in Poland - this bizarre staging could only bag Aleksandra Gintrowska eighth place in this year's national final, with 1% of the vote compared to Michal Szpak's 35%.

Greece and Cyprus are known for giving each other maximum points every year - when Greece are actually in the final, that is - so it was rather strange in 2015 when both gave their 12 points to Italy's Il Volo instead. Draw your own conclusions about what was happening there...
