Beautiful design, RUINED, by rubbish tacky music.  I cringed when I watched the show.  Half an hour was enough…….  Where's the bucket?

You should have watched till nearly the end. The Netherlands ended in second place 🙂

But even now you could notice the slim/sleek design when tubes were used then in these days.

I noticed the Beovision immediately too. A fine example of non-intented product placement. 

I though the Danish flag entry was very clever, showing off Danish design - not only B&O, but also some Arne Jacobsen and (I think) Verner Panton et.al.

As for the music - well, it's a very broad range of styles performing and that is the beauty of the show. Congrats Austria on winning, Netherlands on another great song and of course Sweden - all top three were great songs!

It's a brilliant joke with some less than average music. The voting is by far the best bit, where we play guess the vote. Latvia voting for Russia...10 points or else.

Hilarious

Ironic too that our language (English) is used more and more whilst at the same time the rest of Europe register their dislike of the UK/ English in the voting.

Even the French entry had some English lyrics (which I thought was something the French had previously been banned by their government from doing!)
