UK Eurovision entrants Scooch will be performing their tune, "Flying The Flag (For You)" alongside Musicians from 42 countries for the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place on Saturday night.
Bulgaria and Belarus have also reached the main event for the first time.
Last year the contest was won by Finnish monster rock group Lordi with their song Hard Rock Hallelujah. France, Luxembourg and the UK have each won five times.
Germany has been tipped to win this year's contest with a swing entry from Roger Cicero.
Do you take Eurovision seriously? What do you think of your country's entry ? Is performance or politics the driving force in Eurovision? How will you be watching Eurovision?

And i think that politics has got a lot to do with the voting i dont believe that people vote purely on the performance
There is something other than television to watch it on?
I have paint I want to see dry
Yep, I couldn't think of anything more depressing than watching that shit on a Saturday. Yeeesh.
I got invited to a Eurovision party but it's in Aberdeen and I've already got plans. Shame though!
I won't, as I'm hetrosexual for the most part.
As for my own country's song, I've not heard much of it but I think having somebody's name in a song title is stupid, unless the song is about a specific person. And I don't think "Ya sou Maria" is.
I was thinking I might stand on my head to watch it.
I wouldn't be so sure...
I love the eurovision song contest... pure cheese. Exellently crap.
I'm going down to my sister's house to watch it with her and her mates... we're gunna have take-away pizza and have a giggle!
Missed it last year though.
I love Terry Wogan's comments about the entries and those filler bits inbetween the songs. Brilliant.
I think Scootch might just be crap enough to get a few votes this year. It could go either way. Not sure about them singing that they're flying the british flag for 'you' who will be a audience of thousands of forgeiners... Might not go down too well... But at least they seem proud to be crap, so I'm all for it. :razz:
P.S. I don't think any have quite been up to the standards of Germany's entry a couple of years ago 'Vada dada doo do dar' - I don't think it won, but I just thought that was ace!
I think they'll change the format soon. A lot of people are starting to complain about the current set up, especially given that no western or central European nations got through this year's semis. It's going to lose the contest viewers for sure.
I love the variety. If you don't take this seriously then it's ace entertainment. I love to hang on IRC with my European friends laughing at the show.
It's a great occasion for parties.
What part are yo gay for ?
The only part that matters baby.
You are just gonna love the French song !
Everybody knows that boring piano singing cannot win the prize, that's exactly why France didnot even get 10 points at the last contest !
Then no, I wont be watching.
Thats exactly what Im doing at this moment!
He's been whining non-stop throughout the whole scoring part...
He's awful.
They still kiss each others ass though. And..... Finland gives 12 points to ....... you guessed it Sweden etc. etc.
My mum wanted to watch it. UK were shite but not as shite as some of them but low and behold UK and Ireland get the least points and all the Eastern Europeans vote for each other :thumb:
Terry Wogan was the only thing that kept me going, he just makes me laugh as he just goesn't give a shite and says exactly what everyone else is thinking. I was whinging exactly the same throughout the whole voting thing too. Sad but true.
everyone says its politics but its not imo. it just plain social preferences. similar and neighboring countries have similar musical tastes. simple.
