Here's hoping Russia's dummy throwing is only temporary until cooler heads prevail and they rethink the decision.
Pulled the same childish crap when Conchita won. believe it when i see it.

Hello guys!

Sorry to self advertise, but I made a game on the Strictly forums where 20 of this year's Eurovision acts dance, and I need some votes to make a result. Every vote would be appreciated. Thanks

Another very dignified interview from Sergey here, wouldn't be surprised if he comes back and wins like Dima did at some point, could see both him and Margaret on the winners list within the next two or three years potentially.

Off topic post, but was driving through Millstreet this week as I live quite near to it, it's incredible to think that it once hosted Eurovision. It really is a bog-standard town in County Cork with nothing remarkable about it. It still clings on to the Eurovision legacy as well, there's even a mural in the town centre with the flags of all the countries that participated that year, which has recently been renovated!

Anyone got any particular memories of the competition that year or did anyone on here go? I was only a toddler so obviously have none, but my dad worked outside the venue that night and was following the competition on a radio, which was a few seconds behind the actual proceedings. He tells me he knew Ireland had won before it came through on the radio because of the scream that emitted from the hall when Ireland got the final 12. Wish I was old enough to remember it all
I could write you an essay! Firstly the Beeb(Not Tez Wogan) got into trouble on the BBC news when reporting about the contest(The first independent Balkan entries was a news story especially Bosnia Herz's participation) and Nicholas Witchell (I think) said ESC 93 was coming from a cow shed . Of course Barbara Dex appeared in that dress which spawned the now yearly competition. Sonia surprised us all by actually proving she could sing and did much much better than the UK thought she would. Spain included "Rap"(Albeit mildly) for the first time in the contest and of course there was the pre selection where HUN, SLK, ROM and EST failed to qualify for the final itself.

I don't know if you've seen this - but Lana Del Rey doesn't know when she's in the presence of greatness

That fan account didn't half get some return "Sergey Lazarev with a fan" stick for that tweet.

I've finally mastered multiquoting stuff

It's literally the first song chosen but I feel confident in saying JESC 2017 will NOT be in Tirana

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1LUZddbtdI
Yeah it's absolutely horrible, it starts off ok and then she just shreiks the chorus out and its ear bleeding

Would anyone be up for re watching an old Eurovision some point next week?
Yes

I would be up for this. But it would need to be either Tues, Fri or the weekend as I am working the other days.

Only if we have a one minute silence for Tose after he sings ...

That will be a nice end to what promises to be a great day

Oh, I've just pre-ordered the DVD from Amazon, they're showing it at £19.99 - but it's likely to be cheaper on release as I'm sure I usually pay £10-15 by the time I get it?

2004 would be awesome to rewatch for obvious reasons.

We have gone back to our little corner again

Watching Deen again?
Doing a song far superior to that dirge Bosnia and Herzegovina sent this year. To think that was potentially the last ever Bosnia and Herzegovinian entry

Dirge? How can you call this a dirge...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLrXmTB8OaY#t=2m10s

I liked Bosnia, I thought it was well staged and deserved to qualify over generic stuff like Malta and Azerbaijan, although I really liked Greece too, Euro-rap ftw! :

Would be interested in watching 2005 as well at some point to remind myself what it was like when Ukraine last hosted.

I did that last week I spent an inordinate amount of time actually just watching the postcards, as I kept seeing the hotel I've booked in Kiev

We could be in Uzhhorod yet...

I just hope wherever they choose is a decent size arena, the 2005 venue looks like it was quite small, maybe 6,000 smaller than Globen, which was fantastic. But I don't really know where else they can hold it unless they do something like Copenhagen did and create something specially for Eurovision, which has the potential to be expensive.

Well yeah, there was that... But they had inexplicable barbed wire, over dramatic hand gestures and a crazy rapper, what wasn't to like?

Loved Bosnian entry. Maybe if BHZ are not entering next year we can get Deen to sing for Montenegro
