I enjoyed the show on Saturday but somehow felt that ...

Sat, 14 May 2011 17:15:30 +0200 d41aea2674717c215e91c9e5934d6987 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=47062 Despite it being several weeks since the ESC final it is good to see so many new blog posts on here!....I do like reading them all.... I haven't heard anything online or in the UK media about Josh since just after the final, and this probably doesn't surprise me a great deal really, as the BBC ... Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:34:37 +0200 bef319e708ab85c72f70b96f70e22288 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=46022 But it has to be said that in 2010, Dave was much more impressed with the competition as a whole, and he has now come away with several new artists and songs which he is still playing on his MP3 player every day! It is always interesting to hear the entries from so many varied countries in the ... Wed, 30 Jun 2010 02:20:36 +0200 a36ad761da9cd7d2d0ae2e2ab530ea46 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=45322 Maybe Dave has got the bug, and has that Eurovision Feeling, because despite it being two whole weeks since the final of the ESC, Dave still suddenly finds himself humming along to several of this years entries, but interestingly enough, they are all songs that did very poorly in the voting! I ... Sun, 13 Jun 2010 02:58:04 +0200 55cb6dc7174a63b719899a9f677d7d25 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=44442 The whole experience of the ESC this year has been for me a great big adventure, despite me being unable to be at the final in person as usual!...but I did enjoy watching the show here in the UK on TV, and I appreciated all of the efforts from the various participating artists from all of the ... Wed, 02 Jun 2010 02:09:50 +0200 d68871f7e70b5d94f68aabe9c21825b3 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=43102 What a contest it has been, I have followed it all much more closely this year and have seen all three shows, it was very entertaining and I would like to congratulate EVERY competitor who was in the competition, whether they got through to the final or not, as without each and every one of them, ... Sun, 30 May 2010 03:57:07 +0200 1903fa28bb6ca7feff70798be49c66ba http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=40402 I watched the first semi-final and found it to be very interesting!........quite a variety of songs and one or two in particular appealed to me. Siren by Malcolm Lincoln for Estonia seemed such a breath of fresh air to me, Robin the lead singer, with his gangly looks and weird dance immediately ... Thu, 27 May 2010 00:47:20 +0200 bf56a590f1c7d7aa3b83c50f10a00fbe http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=36132 With very little time to go before the grand final of the 2010 ESC, I am still waiting here with baited breath to see all the "publicity" in support of Josh and his revamped entry for this year. I am a regular internet user, and keep an eye on what is going on each day, and in actual fact my ... Wed, 19 May 2010 02:01:34 +0200 3d8d576dd6b34047a4b5c964fccc3388 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=30682 It hardly seems possible that almost another year has passed by since the amazing victory of Alexander Rybak in the 2009 ESC with "Fairytale"....I will admit that I knew nothing at all about him until May last year, I happened to go to one of my rarely visited gay websites online, and they were ... Mon, 03 May 2010 02:37:35 +0200 86635ca4d8718edee897156437dd96fe http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=29392 I have to admit that I have been very quiet on here lately, and still haven't quite got into the Eurovision mood just yet!...but with just about a month to go to the final, I have been a bit apathetic really, due to the total lack of news about the revamped UK entry by Josh Dubovie..... Well ... Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:11:38 +0200 cca6306d3f957d6e4c9f1e61d666397a http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=21562 I was quite harsh in my previous blog about our entry this year, and I have been mulling things over ever since. My main gripe of course was with the song itself, and not the singer. Josh seems to have a lot going for him, he is quite cute, he certainly has youth on his side, and he seems to have ... Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:19:43 +0100 335259d8c8055d721ae7f524c935f563 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=21152 I thought that we were heading in something like the right direction last year at least, as we seemed to be taking Eurovision a little more seriously at long last....but having seen the 2010 UK entry, it seems to me, that someone at the BBC needs to take a very early retirement, and soon. Josh ... Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:48:56 +0100 e50106e9c167ce44b81350b3f279dc8d http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=7432 Since his amazing win at the ESC 2009 I have been looking at Alexander's other songs on Youtube, and it does seem that this guy is not likely to be one of those one hit wonders! Songs such as "Song From a Secret Garden" show that when performing a classic violin piece, he can certainly play that ... Wed, 27 May 2009 02:01:07 +0200 de5da643ad2ce27831271ab7b1a56634 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=6452 What a show it was too!...in the past few years I have lost some interest in the competition, the voting seemed to be too predictable, and it did seem to be going downhill a bit...but this year, I was inspired by Alexander and his song, and had some idea that he would stand a good chance! From ... Wed, 20 May 2009 01:33:39 +0200 fa76f12c6749b99883c24f669dd5f671 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/Shydave/blog/?id=4401 Although I unfortunately missed Thursday's second semi-final, I was glad to learn that Alexander Rybak singing for Norway with "Fairytale" made it to the final itself! I have been listening to this song for the past few days, and it is certainly growing on me, the simple lyrics, the fast pace of ... Fri, 15 May 2009 01:01:10 +0200
