I really enjoyed Eurovision this year. I thought all the entries were good & I think Sweden did a good job of hosting it. Kudos to them for pointing out that UK were the ones who thought of the idea of the Eurovision Song Contest & started it all off.
I'm glad that Denmark won, as that was my favourite one as well. I also liked Azerbajahn (sp?) who came 2nd, Russia, & Finland, but as she performed 4th that was a bad position. You will notice that all the ones at the top, performed in the second half. Not sure why Ireland came last but there we go.
Thanks to Slovenia for giving us our highest points of 7
I think the fact that we don't enter the Semi Finals is a big disadvantage, as quite often songs grow on you the more you hear them. It also is a good practice run for the performers. People probably watch the Semi Finals & already make up their mind who they want to win out of those, so probably don't pay much attention to the other few they hear on the night. In fact, the ones who didn't do the Semi Finals all came near the bottom.
I had listened to Denmark's entry loads of times on youtube before the competetition & on Saturday morning, I actually woke up singing it! Initially, I couldn't think what it was I was singing, then realised it was Denmark's Eurovision entry! I thought then that it had the makings of a winner - one that is catchy & memorable.
