how come there's no thread for it?
did anyone watch it?
Which country had the best song? I was camping when it took place but just seen the UK entry on You Tube and the winning one from Russia - didn't think either of them were much good.

It was ok, there were some good entries, some were just pain stupid but still got more votes than us!
There were far worse songs than the UK's imo
How does the UK entry get chosen anyway?
More then anything I'd say you usually need a good tune to get over the fact most nations can't understand the words being sung, although the Russian song was almost all words.
Was Bucks Fizz the last UK entry to actually win the contest?

I hasten to add I only know this because I like their 1985 hit 'walking on Sunshine' and was suprised they were still going.
Wasn't it Katrina and the waves who was last to win?
Although Katrina was Canadian, the song was written by someone from the UK.
I never knew that i knew so much about this
The BBC has all the songs from 2008 on it -

I quite like the German song.
Saying that, I do love Terry Wogan's sarcasm and cynicism
or the french, just cos of the typical french ladies with beards(no offence to any french people)
The ones I liked the most were from Albania, Norway and Latvia (pirates).
How could I get forget the pirates? That was a great song.
This year wasn't the most memorable one, I didn't like the Russian song the first time I heard it but it's grown on me a lot and I quite like it now. This will sound geeky but I've dug up a russian version of his 2006 Eurovision song and I really like it, haha.
I also enjoyed the Spanish song. It's so super Spanish and got really bizarre lyrics. I don't remember how often I went 'quattro, El Robocop!' through the night after the contest.
Eurovision is fantastic.
