It's probably just our Beradogs up to his old tricks.

BTW, personally, I think this year's controversy has added an extra layer of spice to the competition. I'd therfore like to see some of the other competitors do some war before next year's final.

Yeah, that's fair. But then you could also argue that the absence of jury votes for the Israeli song was suss too. It definitely wasn't the best song, but it was in the top 6.

As I said, autocracy vs democracy.

"Fae" is taking it well, I see.

The judges vs public vote is an allegory of autocracy vs democracy.

The ludicrous online reactions to Eurovision are a delight every year.

Zero points from the public. It wasn't terrible, but it had nothing great about it either.

LOL at the contrast between jury and public votes.

UK judges award 12 points to Portugal. WtF?

I think there were more than three songs sh*ter than the UKs.

I was going to vote for Israel. But it costs 15p a time. F*ck that.

Not sure, but invitations to musical festivals have sure dried up.

Okay. Initial summary.

Only a few dud acts, so decent value overall.

Winner has to be between Spain, Croatia and Ireland, IMO. But several others are credible contenders. Including (*muffles laughter) Israel. But music is the real winner her.

Austrian singer gets bonus points for starting with her coat tribute to East 17.

French singer displaying some technical vocal brilliance there. But the song just isn't strong enough to win it.

Georgian woman shooting flames out her arse? Sure, why not.

Yeah, Croatia!

You just can't go wrong with a bit of "woah-oh".

I could swear I've seen the Slovenian act during a lunchtime visit to the Cornucopia in Southend.

The Swiss. Good for laundering crime money. And possibly coming top 10 in Eurovision?

Cyprus. Good on the 17 year old singer.

Armenia using traditional national dress, instruments, music and their own language. And the singer is fun too. I liked that.

Portugal.

Why?

Finland going the extra inch, there.

Ah, the Serbian nazis have arrived. And, once again, they're sh*t.

Angelina Mango from Italy there, giving us nothing to remember. And one of those dancers had a massive arse.
