Well, yet another year and we well and truly took yet another drubbing. "Nul pwah", bottom of the pile, do not pass go, do not collect £200. We entered yet another donkey in the 3-legged horse race, and we still came last.
The usual voting protocol prevailed, neighbours voting for each other. Although none of them were Abba-standard, most of the acts were ok, and some were dubious. Armenia were clearly influenced more by mammaries than melody when they chose their entry.
Some entrants were well and truly astonishing (Lithuania, for example). Note to Lithuanian people - the bucks-fizz-dress-removing doesn't go down well on men, not outside the G-A-Y club anyway. Even 4 Poofs & a Piano, the backing band off Jonathon Ross's show, have more street cred (and vocal ability). But oddly, Lithuania's 2006 entry was a sure-fire winner, so they can do better.
Congrats go to Germany for winning with their Avril Lavigne lookylikey/soundalikey. At least it wasn't (embarrassingly) Country & Western this year from them.
As usual, back to the drawing board for UK, who can't seem to win a contest we should excel at.
