Well I know I'm setting myself for a virtual fisting here, but I have to say and sitting with a good glass of white and my Beolab 11 within touching distance, I'm actually looking forward to watching us and Malta not playing the annual game of sucking up to our potentially frightening neighbours.

Denmark....10 points.

Haha! I was wondering if anybody will admit watching them! 😁

It's an old habit for me, I've been following it since I was a kid. This year's lineup is pretty awful though - Sweden and Denmark belonging to the few entries that are listenable. My real favourites are from the 60s and 70s...

The Albanian singer was off her head. A fun but rather tacky, and I don't give a wine fuelled crap about admitting I'm watching it. Shame Terry Wogan isn't commenting. Predicting the Ukraine Russian vote is hilarious.

Of course. I think UK will get at least trois points this year, about 3rd from bottom and our best result for a few years. I've come to the conclusion that it's cool to either be at the top or bottom, any midpoint is unmemorable.

I do believe you judging the wrong bits!👍 Seemed like an Italian Amy Barolohouse to me!

My money's on Sweden!

btw - I think it's hilarious (in a very worrying fashion) that the Spanish entry has been asked to throw the competition to prevent incurring any national spending should she win!!😁
