Ah Latvia, the glorious masters of the novelty and guilty pleasures. This should've been Latvia's entry in 2011, if only they'd kept this staging in the final.

When they changed the choreography I was bereft as I'd spent a week learning it. It was like Inga and Anoush all over again (still don't know why they didn't use the dance on the video in Moscow :mad)
Thank you to the lovely 12 who recognise class, and to our host who found and hosted the true incarnation

She's back again, with a few friends... This is what Melfest does best, why have one Schlager Hag when you can make a super-group of them. Did they drop in from a biker rally?

Bet you're glad you didn't go for Rollercoaster now weedy?

This is how all Country should be done. This song might be guilty, but nobody should ever feel guilty about pizza.

Taking the bronze medal...

Poor Sara all dressed up and nowhere to go.

My highlights are Björn's random clapping and aimlessly wandering in and out of shot.

Expert juries getting it wrong for 59 years although the accordion does feature heavily in the winning song. Maybe it was too controversial with its message and bilingualism.

Thanks for the votes and especially thms for the douze. Bobbejaan was a Belgian hero and his funeral in 2010 which I discovered on youtube was quite something.

The GGF says his gramaphone requires a new needle, you haven't a spare by any chance.

Congratulations spin and as for Dolly Style, people hide their guilt well given all the comments they receive on here.

This should have won! Great choice Weedy!

Thanks for everyone who voted for Ruslanas, been meaning to send that song into one of our NF competitions for ages but didn't want to be the laughing stock so I'm glad I found the perfect competition for him. Thanks Lisa!

Showing a lot of chest and I'm not just talking about her dancers! It's actually not that bad of a song, but lord that staging and the vocals! Yet it was also very close to being their actual entry.
