    er, no - most of the stuff on TV is rubbish so figured it's cheaper not bothering with one.

    I do usually watch it, but only for the exotic European women :D Having heard our entry and seen the size of his nose, I'd say we were in for a rough ride.

    Not gonna be in tonight but would probably end up watching it if I was.

    I don't think the UK has much chance, the song is pretty rubbish.

    Having seen some of the semi-final the other day, I might support Armenia, for no particular reason. ;)

    Generally find most of the songs a bit boring this year, Netherlands were the only ones I saw with some decent 'Euro-cheese' this year but they didn't get through.

    without Terry Wogan taking the mickey it's not the same, though I will still watch it, but I might just turn on to see the votes as they come in.

    I'll watch the results come in, might see the odd song or two. Heard the english entry for the first time, really is terrible. On the other hand that might 'work' !

    Greece is good too. UK and Ukraine are the worst.

    I usually just watch the results section near the end. It won't be the same without Wogan's funny comments.

    Romania for me. The song starts slowly, but hits the top with the best chorus.

    Albania, my second favourite. Also Iceland, Denmark and Georgia in the mix too.

    Can Germany break through this year?

    and the good news.. shes london based ;) hehe

    the german one, my friend was going on about.. but she sounds like a knock off version of kate nash

    no one wants to win it.. Ireland / rte .. won it 2 years in a row.. cost a FORTUNE.. they went outta their way to NOT win it after (the couldn't afford it)

    I was watching something else doing some ebaying... Romania and errm armina?!!?, both quite nice

    russia, they trying to to do their version of del a metri

    some of them... DAMN they were off tune.. didn't watch it all..

    the italians had the right idea. they got out = don't have to put money in their fund.

    I'm sure Graham Norton said 'f*ck off' when they showed one of the families celebrating with the dog !

    Cant believe how bad that english song was, was terrible

    I watched that show the other day with Justin Lee Collins trying to be the entry for Ireland in the Eurovision. The song actually was very catchy, cant believe he didnt get through to the final round though

    Why do all the countries vote for their neighbours?

    Must be a cultural thing - surely you'd have more in common with the country bordering yours rather than one on the other side of the world?

    A lot of the music in neighbouring countries is sometimes very similar so the public obviously prefer that.

    The German song is a rip off of an Aleshia Dixon chart hit! Knew I'd heard that tune before.
