Just got in and caught up. Well done to the top ten! Thanks for the votes, three sets of 12s and some other good points, yay! I was undecided which way to do my top three if I'd done it one of the other ways i would have qualified. So was my own fault. I can live with that.
OMG We exchanged 12s :O

That's more points than I was expecting, thanks to all. Where are BBAnne's points though - she's of that era.

And thanks nick1990 for very smooth hosting.

The Berlin Eurovision weekend was so much fun even if we almost conked out with the unbearable heat in the gala venue
Sandra Reemer was amazing and such a lovely person as she showed up to hang out with the fans at the after party, while Zoe didn't seem to hang around at all after her performance.
The OGAEvision contest seemed to go on all night and was finally won by a Maltese guy performing Golden Boy. Karl William Lund finished around mid-table which was a surprise considering he was by far the most "well known" out of all his fellow contestants.
And sadly, I didn't get to meet Jaccobabe

From what I saw on Facebook, Berlin seemed so much fun Makson! I wouldn't have been able to stand the heat though... A friend of mine was competing for Slovenia in the vision contest, incredibly tall guy called Jan - been trying to find a video of it

Edit: found it!

Jan is about 17mins and KWL straight after

No one has mentioned "City Battle" which takes place tonight?

Six cities have applied to be hosts of Eurovision 2017 and their bids will be presented live on a youtube feed

http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?i...urovision_2017

Hoping the two finalists will be Kiev and Lviv, I really don't fancy Odessa!

Дуже дякую! Ти найкращий!

I'm almost certain it's between Kiev and Lviv, although the former is the only city that has a stadium with a roof.

I saw Odessa's promo vid posted on Twitter. I thought it looked quite nice with the architecture and seaside resort feel, especially the potential stadium (once it has a roof) being near the beach.

Hello Digital Spy this is Nathan calling!

As you may be aware that we are hosting a range of fantasy Eurovision events to plug the hole between the contests. Well I have GBBO, Strictly come Dancing and The Apprentice to do that ,don't know about you!.

So for my contest I want you to dredge and sift the cesspit of the bottom 10 songs of each Eurovision since 2000 to find those diamonds that didn't trouble the left hand side of the leader boards.

I hope you have fun searching the wikipedia articles of each ESC to do the maths to see if the song qualifies, but to add salt to the wound I remind you that you can not in no uncertain terms enter a song that has already been entered before in one of these shindigs so I urge you to refer to the article below.

The DS Fantasy Rule Book/The DS Fantasy Bible

You have until Sunday 24th July 2016 to search for your song when they will be revealed. The results will be Sunday 31st July 2016.

Go easy on me this is my first ever hosting of something on here.

LET THE CONTEST BEGIN!

There's never been a bottom 10s contest I don't think, so entering something entered before won't be a problem.

I read it as bottom 10 in the final.

As in like, any Eurovision themed contests this forum has ever had since 2010?
That's gonna be tougher than Lys Assia's tampon.

Ah ok. Goodie. Then we dont have to suffer through Mei Finefold again.

Also picking Birgit who won best underrated would be super lame IMO
