No I think it's pretty much time.

I'd like to try every Fantasy contest this year - sorry to whoever had reserved last place last year.

Someone (Cuishla ) needs to tidy up the wiki first. About half the contests from last year are missing.

So... I think this has outdone the Greek's efforts of car park NF preview videos.
This guy is in a Morrisons car park. With a violin. Playing 'You're Not Alone'. Okay...

"This DVD does not include the interval act performance by Justin Timberlake"

I mean, what was the point of him being there if his record company are going to be like this? I mean that's not why I bought the DVD, but surely he was part of the whole thing? Or did we dream it?

They should just show the artists' conga around the green room that was happening at the same time, I spent more time watching that than Timberlake actually singing to be honest, it was a really nice spontaneous Eurovision moment.

The whole thing seems really stupid

The Americans couldn't watch him, although I thought the whole reason he was performing was because they were able to watch for the first time. And now, his interval can't be on the DVD. Great going Stockholm

There was an artists conga, I really want to see that

Not the best quality, but here you go!

Oh wow, thanks for doing that. Not the most exciting way to spend the weekend. I'd have done it myself, but all that formatting and coding may as well be written in Swahili to me.

So then, when are we starting Fantasy up folks?

Sverre Kjelsberg has died aged just 69. He will forever be remembered for his Euro entry from 1980 as his clip is shown in many a compilation show!

Is there any videos of the conga?

Can't find anything better than the clip Anne posted above, I think they briefly tried to show it on TV during the live broadcast, but you couldn't really see what was happening because the lights were off in the green room. On the YouTube clip sadly you can only just make out Jamala throwing some serious shapes towards the back, but it was funny at the time...

Verka's fake jury final votes were also a highlight...

I loved that the acts all took part in a conga......it echoed what we were doing all week in euroclub every time Habba Habba and Kizunguzungu were played

By the way, is anyone going to the Eurovision weekend in Berlin next month? Zoe, some old Dutch artists and national final rejects including UK national treasure, Karl William Lund are attending
I couldn't resist and booked my flights....can't beat a eurofix in the middle of summer!

Switzerland are switching things up after back to back flops.

Ylva and Linda will have to find a Swiss singer to collaborate with first. Also they're taking away public access to the online uploads.

They have to do something but it's more or less the same thing, until they start getting well known Swiss singers to take part in the NF then theres no point. Beatrice Eagle needs to be contacted immediately

God no, not Beatrice Egli, I'd rather they sent Rykka again than send some outdated schlager nonsense. We need something more modern, and I know the perfect singer...
