Does anyone in the UK actually take Eurovision seriously? I mean, we all watch it to take the piss, don't we?

The thing is, it doesn't even fall into the category of something that's so bad, it's good. It's just... BAD.

I know this is said year after year, but we all know damn well this isn't a song contest. And even if it were, how can you possibly make any value judgements about songs that come from such musically disparate places? Apples and Oranges.

I think they should bring back Sir Tel. At least he was intentionally funny!

I have another flister who talks about Eurovision all the time and I have no idea what she's talking about. Enlighten an ignorant colonist?

Oh, God, where to start? It's a Europe-wide song contest with entries from each country and where the other countries get to vote on the songs. Of course, Europe is a lot bigger now than it was when the contest started more than 50 years ago - and of course, it's not about the songs. It never is - the Eastern Block countries always vote or each other, Cyprus and Greece always give each other maximum points etc etc. And everybody hates the Brits.
