We toasted on song nine, it's a Flock of Seagulls bonanza at Eurovision part deux

[SuffolkNWhat]

Part two to continue with song 18

Night all. See you next year...

Yes - I think a lot of other countries just didn't mention Dana's background. Much harder with conchita of course

10 year old DS has stomped off to bed - I am surprised at the level of passion he felt. At one point during the voting he got up all red in the face and declared ' if Australia win that is TOTAL BS!'

Who did he want to win?

He will learn - it's a cruel world out there!

So my one vote from Germany for the UK counted for bugger all, did it?!

My ds is half German and is generally quite patriotic - he watched Germany and just said 'well that was really bad - daddy - I'd be embarrassed if I were you'

Dh always have friendly rivalry about who will finish furthest from the bottom

And Germany came last! Might as well have sent Xavier Naidoo after all. Or the Meatloafalike that came second in our song for Europe.
Poor J&J, they did not deserve to come third from the last.
And felt sorry for Im, Australia must have thought they had it in the bag when it came to the final four.
Ukraine's song might have been serious, passionate and political...
...but Eurovision is not the Eurovision of my youth sadly

Germany could have had Georgian monks, dammit!
Instead we voted for an ex The Voice winner.
We came last last year as well. (The vocalist hadn't even won song for Europe, she replaced the winner when he got cold feet).

Georgian monks would have been very 1992. I'd have voted.

Enigma - Sadness party deux

At least there weren't so many ballads...

I'd love a musical theatre-type number next year We're never going to win so may as well put a bit of light relief in! (That's why I liked the Netherlands so much this year.)

DS voted for Latvia - but only because he couldn't vote for Joe and Jake.

Ha Ha at your DS's Germany comment.

Rylan should do it next year.

I feel like I've binged on a bag of a Revels but the last one was a coffee one.

If you have two minutes of your life you won't get back, these were our Song for Stockholm choices.
The meatloafy came second. I liked the monks. My favourite one though (woods of Birnham lift me up) came last it reminded me of Hugh grant's pop goes my heart in Music&Lyrics. I do love me a bit of europop, which is why I quite liked Austria. But I appear to be in the minority these days...

Sinister I like the coffee ones.

Mind you, I also wanted Georgia to win, so what do I know?

Europop to me is much more Eurovision-but seldom actually wins.

I thought Gina G 'Ooh ahh, just a little bit' was one of our best chances ever- totally Europop. And even that failed. It's a conundrum, is Eurovision.

The Mumsnet choir should enter next year. We could get Gareth malone to write it. Be all controversial, with on stage breast feeding and lots of gin.

I'm in.

And I've just realized I meant Gregorian monks rather than Georgian ones, oh well

But as I said on another thread I miss the pirates, washer women, brides, Russian old ladies, leotarded gimps, Lycra clad backing dancers and wardrobe misfunctions of yesteryear.

Kimmy- I made the same mistake. But I'm narked, because I wanted Georgia to win.

Kimmy it was lacking in kitsch, definitely.

Ooh yes raah I'd throw you a vote! "The milk of human kindness" a ballad by Breastapo. But wearing Nazi leather bras natch.
Lots of publicity, accusations of lactivism et cetera. It's got it all. And loads of babies=votes #babywarz

We needed some kitsch, has to be said. The disconnect between the Ukrainian entry and the bloke/his "mum" who gave their vote count though, was inspiring!

The Mumsnet choir should enter next year. We could get Gareth malone to write it. Be all controversial, with on stage breast feeding and lots of gin

Ah yes, there would be an emotional journey, with mooncups

Kimmy, Sinister yes! Mooncup outfits, singing about p and c parking....we'd be a massive hit.

The milk of human kindness is definitely a Eurovision winner.

MNHQ- get Gareth's number, stat!
