In fourth, it's me. Thank you to everyone for their votes, I was surprised that this song still hadn't been taken by last Sunday, would have been a worthy winner this year, just as Jamala was. I do appreciate a bit of kitchen sink staging.

Probably still Poli-mania I imagine. Although I'd be happy with Lady Gagarina too.

ESC Best Group Ever

Welcome one and all to the competition to decide which is the best group ever in Eurovision.

We are mercifully devoid of boybands, but one approached me the other day, begging to be in the show, perhaps the opening number, even for appearance fee of a paltry Ł100. So I took their money, and here they are:

Here is the actual list, a fine selection of recent and older Eurovision songs. The order is entirely random, except for ABBA in the pimp slot, of course. Enjoy.

She did?! Great!

That "Best song of last 5 years" was already a hoax (to me) as, like I said, it was missing most of the best songs, but then you put the two Polis as front runners?! I'm shocked...

But to cheer me up, now I have the "Best ESC band" playlist , which compared to the above mentioned is pure gold

Nothing was stopping you from entering something. When there's only about a dozen or so FMs participating what do you expect?

What was stopping me from entering was that I was not in here (when the entries were due) If I was I'd definitely have entered, and the moment I got back I did enter, in the "best band" one...

Talking of that, OMG, I don't think I've ever come across a playlist like that!! Practically every song is a favourite... (Well, apart from Cosmos, the oldie Swiss song, Serebro and a few others ) Now in Eres Tu, what a classic!!
