A little story about me
Im just your very average Eurovision fan - no hang on theres nothing average about me at all lol
Favourite singers
well my mp3 player has a lot of Eurovision tracks (just over 1300 I think - so that says a lot. lol. I like a vast rang from Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo to Antique, Sisscor Sisters, Ryan Dan, James Blunt, Shayne Ward, David Civera, Enrique to name but a few
Brendan!
On the map ...

Steady on, almost split my G&T at the thought of it - almost.
Bring back Cliff and Lulu at least we'd have a better chance.
And before you say it, yes I am that old!
;-)
Reply from Brendan:
Never mind ur G&T did you know that Cliff wants to duet with SuBo and she has already sung live with Daniel O Donnell (bet your a huge fan -- hes actually a lovely guy - no he is)Actually if SuBo and Daniel sang for ESC that would be a joint UK and Irish entry so we would both have 12 pts lol
stick with Nadia and Mika I think - The song title will be something like Its Raining Willies
LOL
By Jamie Perez

LOL!
Reply from Brendan:
Yes only two bottlesand then the vodka lol

By Peter M
Think they were definitely right as far as our entry was concerned.
Reply from Brendan:
Ok I didn't want to point out they got the loser right, was it not bad enough watching it happenlol
By Anthony Ko
I wonder if the UK would take Eurovision seriously now that the contest next year is at........
Germany.
Reply from Brendan:
Anthonyit's not very likely lol
but I think josh made a better effort than the England team last night lol
By Peter M
Not really surprised that it's not done as well here. My other half liked it to begin with but now hates it - mainly because of the various "English" accents.
I think it's OK - wasn't my favourite on the night though.
Reply from Brendan:
I got use to it over the weeks before the contest wasn't the worse winner but stillinterest in the uk or lack of it doesn't help the winning song chart well although Alexander did ok last year, but a one hit wonder I fear
By Peter M
Reply from Brendan:
i never liked facebook - was on it for 3 weeks and too many people I didnt want any contact with appeared out of nowhere, so i give up and decided to stick with MSN - bless it loljust finished studying so heading into town to treat myself ---- well earned Id say lol

By Kevin James Cini
thanks for accepting my request. Well I wasn't that happy when Malta didn't pass for the final... we deserved to pass... but thinking about the contest... Malta's song was weak compared to the other songs :/ and this year's Eurovision was compatitive ;) am I right?
I really loved the Irish song... so sorry for not ending up in the top 10 :(
Greetings from Malta
Reply from Brendan:
think the irish and maltese songs were out dated and whereas they were classics they didnt attract the public votingThere is always next year lol
Kevin is an Irish name - have you any irish connections
By Fabien reynaud
Anyway, Im sure you will be fine tomorrow morning for the meeting.
I will be up by 6.15am like every week days.....commuting is fantastic lol

Unfortunately it's still not clear which city will host ESC 2011 but in my opinion it will be Berlin or Hamburg ^^
Which city would you like to host it?
Reply from Brendan:

By Andrei ESCfan
Reply from Brendan:
Hi Andreiwell I voted for Romina and Bulgeria on Thursday night - I thought Paula and Ovi were excellent and really looking forward to seeing them again tonight - not sure if they will come out on top but hope they are in the running
:-)
By Anna Veltmane
BUT. I really also sonsider that there were at least a couple of countries that did not deserve getting in the Final from the first Semi. Ehh.:(
Today's Josh's evening.:) I'll keep my fingers crossed that he sings (and moves ;p) well this awful song. ;p
Reply from Brendan:
HI Anna - glad you have not fallen out with me lolI dont understand the connection failures on this site, overload with people watching the shows on line is one possible options - but its frustrating
Im sure Aisha is very sweet, just the song was dire (sorry). I was happy that Romina, Ireland and Cyprus made it out of semi final 2 - still in shock over Croatia. Sweden, I never liked the song from the outset so wasnt that surprised
So, I have started the food for tonights show and getting ready to party :-) (again) lol
By Kameron Enderverse
Why is Croatia a surprise? It was 3 cackling housewives singing in Klingon lol.
Uktraine and Russia... so that's wher ex-KGB agents got to ... fixing Eurovision phone lines lol.
Reply from Brendan:
those were superman - - - - - not the same dvd as i seen but alast lolCrotia were excellent better than Geogia and cyprus
but get the 3 cackling housewives bit lol
so you looking forward - wil you change your pants for it?????
lol
By William Savage
Last night was great i have to say some surprises but i was really happy Ireland got through!!
What about you?
Reply from Brendan:
The show excellent. Few surprises but good to see Ireland in the final not sure how they will do. Looking forward to the final, should be great :-)By Terry Wogans Wig
Clear blue skies here all day...just like Jamaica!
I disconnected the telly and can't get bbc3 either....will have to watch Vatican 2 instead!
Reply from Brendan:
actually Vatican should enter a songTitles like Bad Boys, Like A Virgin come to mind lo
enjoy the show and the result :-)
By Terry Wogans Wig
Totally blown away by Malta not getting through....think Niamh could be the shock tonight cause of the lack of neighbours....let's hope not!
Joint rolled, beer in fridge, bbq smoldering...bring it on!
To good health!
Reply from Brendan:
BBQ on ?Its cold and its pissing down -- I dont have bbc 3 so dont know the numbers to phone ffs :-(
Ive a joint as well - well mine is like in the oven its a lamb joint lol
I agree Niamh could be the big looser - notice Turkeys odds have been slashed to night hmmmm

Reply from Brendan:
Hi jamieyea really looking forward to the show. I don't agree with you on Finland and Russia both were dreadful. As for tonight I agree with most of your ten but not lithunian and Dutch songs I can't stand to listen to either of them. But the better quality songs are tonight
:-)
By Sharleen Wright
Not surprised about Russia. They could have entered the bloody crazy frog and got through. But I am surprised with Portugal. Heard it looked wonderful on screen.
Reply from Brendan:
Glag ur well and having a good timeI'm still in shock for poor Malta :-(
By Sharleen Wright
Very happy Tom Dice made through tonight. It was the only act that I genuinely felt for in semi 1 and I just want to hug him now.

By Anna Veltmane
I remember sitting with my fingers blue from crossing, during our national selection when Aisha was the only +- acceptable entry...lol ... ahh, I love the Eurovision atmosphere so much that there should have to be... hmm I don't know... a hoarse rhinoceros representing Latvia, for me to stop ardently looking forward.;)
Reply from Brendan:
go on Anna admit it you voted in the televote didnt you lolnever give up hope this year the Uk have Josh, Ireland and a turkey, so theres always a bad year for us all lol
By Kameron Enderverse
I mean I survived 30 seconds of Russia's entry and 10 seconds of the UK entry, but I have to draw the line at Lena's knickers lol.
Reply from Brendan:
Kameron Kameron kameronstop being so narrow minded - Lena could be a TV so you'd still get your sausage lol
Actually if germany win - Berlin would be amazing for ESC - I love the city, landed during gaypride (by accident I assure you)
But its an amazing city I love it so I dont mind if Germany win for that reason and besides (ive blue underwear and I wore it yesterday and I even painted my toetails for you, I did it just the other day I swear --------- dont say to lex but)
By Kameron Enderverse
Reply from Brendan:
can I handle a polish sausage or germany?I love polish sausage (oh hi adam by the way )
germany wont win - i like the song but naw, seriously there are better songs, oh hang on Lordi won with a load of crap hmm oh shit maybe they could win
But I thought it because according to the song she doesnt seem to by underwear often and she wore the new ones the other day - bad luck if you ask me
back to the sausage ...........
By Kameron Enderverse
And Bulgaria is cheap pop - done so much better by Enrique Iglesias :)
Reply from Brendan:
god Never give up Willysure they made a film bout that Free Willy
go on apart from the gold outfit and matching ears the song is harmless
And I like Bulgeria, I like Enrique but couldnt see him sing that bulgerian song
But whatever ye do dont give up willy - its not worth it --- trust me lol
By Kameron Enderverse
Reply from Brendan:
How can you not like Bulgeria?AUK Kamaeron - come on wings and all and Miro comes across as a sound guy (Lex agrees with me)
Russia definately crap
the Swiss is harmless not great not bad - harmless
By Kameron Enderverse
I'm a bit bemused and embarrassed by the UK entry tho - it's our worst song since Jemini.
Sure some country with an ironic sense of humour will give us 1 point - but that's all we're getting and all we deserve with such an awful song.
Poor Josh, I don't think he realized the has-been songwriters were gonna make him the next Jemini when he auditioned.
He should walk out in protest on the night. That's what I'd do.
I honestly think we should forgo our free pass in future for this insult to music and the Eurovision spirit. Our attitude to Eurovision stinks.
That said, never before have so many great songs appeared in the same semi-final let alone the same Eurovision. Shame the UK isn't one of them :)
Will we ever grow up? :P
Reply from Brendan:
oh dont go there -------- poor josh how can he make any serious effort with such a bad songThis year the final version of songs is really strong - its going to be wide open
There is one angle at least the Uk entry is better than Dustin the Turkey ----- or is it?

Have u checked out any of the rehersals yet? I thought that Belarus went well, and Malta done ok. But I suppose it's all about the peformance on the night.
Reply from Brendan:
