Just want to say not to despair too much...the UK feels like this every year!!!

Can't wait!! Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:10:18 +0200 89d46980977d59dc5e10e8c502084ac0 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=46332 So it off to Berlin we go then in 2011. Congratulations to Germany...nice to see the trend of Eastern Block countries reversed this year after last year when Norway won. Can Eurovision continue to be won back by the West? That shall remain to be seen but I hope so... Iceland deserved to do ...

Give my friends enough time to listen through all the songs and pick one or two they would like to support. Then we prepare for the party...decide what alcohol to drink, food to eat and which flags we'll be waving lol 27 ...

Hilarious and Iceland just so you know I love your song and I hope silly people don't stop voting for you because of a natural disaster which was beyond your control. The video on youtube is funny ...

He sang it very well and they seem pretty convinced that Netherlands will award 12 points to UK. I'm not going to hold my breath but the audience seemed to like it as well. I know ...

I've just listened to the revamped version of That Sounds Good To Me by Josh Dubovie...and I was holding my head in my hands the whole way through...it's far too slow the complete opposite of the what it was before!! What is going on? ... Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:35:03 +0200 31ee42ecb8375a3abe0dab4749a1f9b5 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=26542 On the website eurovisionodds.com the United Kingdom are ahead of Ireland in the bookie's favourites table. WTF? Ireland clearly have a better song so do they bookmakers know something that we don't lol?

I think it would make this site better if we could comment on each other's blogs the same way we comment on the news reports section. Would make it a lot more interactive I think. Just a thought.....

Lebanon could enter if only they would promise to broadcast all entries including Israel. Liechtenstein now does have a broadcaster ... Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:57:24 +0200 c0106b0e695775c5d7f031bc83c7a894 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=26222 I'm progressively getting more and more excited about Eurovision this year. Thanks to the Internet I've been reading about and hearing the songs a lot earlier than I normally would and the anticipation for Euro-Week as I call it in May is killing me lol Can't wait to see the live performances ... Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:49:27 +0200 497cb62498bf7e17c28c49e4b77d0cd4 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=25552 What is going on with the UK entry? Is it actually getting a revamp or was that crap because I'm starting to doubt what they are doing with it... On a separate note...I love Sweden this year!! They haven't sent their usual disco style song and I'm hearting Anna Bergendahl a lot...her voice is so ... Fri, 09 Apr 2010 20:03:48 +0200 74831be1b72fc047c496d9ac8f9114bb http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=25102 Romania have a fantastic song this year...normally I'm not a massive supporter of the Romanian entry but they've tried really hard this year and I love the song and Paula is gorgeous with a great voice. Hope they can pull it off live and hopefully they play the amazing piano joined like Elton John ... Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:22:28 +0200 be3669405369f5fed9767a6d4af3aa60 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=24922 I just can't help it anymore I've tried so hard to hate the German entry but its so annoyingly catchy and hard to get out of my head I think I'll just go with it and love it!! It makes me look like a fool I know because I've made such a big thing out of hating it but there's nothing I can do about ... Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:14:41 +0200 6be964bc355d636e1562b0722e035611 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=24912 Every year is the same some countries entries get an unwarranted and frankly undeserved fuss made about them and how "fantastic" they supposedly are...this year the biggest example I can think of this are both Turkey and Germany. Also Greece springs to mind. Normally I like the Turkish and Greek ...

I want to hear it... its annoying that its not available to hear anywhere yet...please don't make us wait for the CD to hear it. Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:35:03 +0200 2877c44da53c2806866667b04dffa551 http://www.eurovisionfamily.tv/user/escfanireland86/blog/?id=24202 I just cannot fathom why anyone would vote for the German song!! I know the UK's song isn't wonderful and I accept that we are definitely not going to win this year. However I think the German song is just as horrendous and yes Lena may be a lovely girl or whatever but the song is just ...

Azerbaijan and Croatia are getting my vote this year!! Good luck to Safura & Femminem because I think your songs are the best and I want you to win!! Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:08:04 +0200
