    I never pretended I don't watch it It may sound strange for a goth fan, but I do watch Eurovision every year, it's a tradition since childhood years for me. I first watched it in 1991 when I was 9 years, and never skipped a year.

    My favourite songs since then:

    Youddiph - Eternal wanderer (Russia 1994)
    Eimaer Quinn - The voice (Ireland 1996)
    Secret Garden - Nocturne (sounds a bit goth, doesn't it ? ) (Norway 1994)
    Frances Ruffelle - Lonely symphony ; We will be free (UK 1994)
    Kasia Kowalska - I want to know my sin (Poland 1996)
    Anna-Maria Jopek - Ale jestem (Poland 1997)



    and to a lesser extend as the above I also liked these ones a lot:

    Katrina & The Waves - Love shine a light (UK 1997)
    Brainstorm - My star (Latvia 2001 if I remember the year right)
    Ines - Once in a lifetime (Estonia 2001)
    Debbie Scerri - Let me fly (Malta 1997)
    Urban Trad - Sanomi (Belgium 2003)
    Frederic Etherlinck - La voix est libre (Belgium 1994)
    Michelle - Out on my own (Netherlands 2002 - not sure of the year)
    Lindsay Dracass - No dream impossible (UK 2002)
    Ruslana - Wild dances (Ukraine 2004)


    Think my ultimate favourite of the last 15 years if I really must pick one will be Youddiph (Russia 1994).
    Don't know which entry I will support this year. Haven't heard any participator yet. It's more of a surprise anyway if I hear them for the first time the evening of the contest itself, so I am very curious and looking forward to it.

    Dunno, site was ok yesterday, not sure, maybe check it later, you could use this to listen to the other countries

    I like Poland, Austria, Hungary, Cyprus is so hilarious, it will get the gay vote (exact replica of Greece's entry last year )

    But at least their song was better even if it was basically nicked from The Corrs. McCauls's song is weak lyrically and Joseph, God love him, cannot dance, he needs to get rid of the earring, he said it brings him luck, so there is not hope of that happening!! In fairness, the Henry girls are much older, so you may find them 'frumpy'. I don't think so, one is 30 or something mind and has children. The guy with the guitar lurking about is funny. But, regardless, I hope they get through to the final and I wish them all the best, I would love to see them win, such bad lyrics do not deserve to win, but I'll be supporting them anyway.

    it has been re-worked and when that keithmutvinternet site is working, check it out there, cos there are new dancers etc, Joseph dances much more in it..... Yeah the earring needs to be whipped out ASAP. You see, they're from near Hamish's place so it explains a few things!
    But isn't it shocking!!!!

    Watched the competition videos on RTE. They showed their contempt for the semi-final by only showing a segment of the semi-finalists songs, with the exception of Ireland, obviously, which was left to last. All of the finalists songs were shown in full. Like I said earlier, it will be almost impossible for us to win, but we should be guaranteed the most votes from the British in the semi-final, giving us 12 points at least. I expect most of the Balkan/Baltic bloc countries to qualify, regardless of the quality of the song. But Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus are all in the final, so it frees up some qualifying places for other countries. The voting used to be the most exciting part of Eurovision, now it's the least, due to all the political voting going on.

    Among the favourites to win are Spain who have 3 Andalucian Flamenco dancers and a catchy song straight out of the Las Ketchup mode, and UK. Greece are also among the favourites to win, and have a great chance, as their song has everything. An upbeat song, great choreography, A Meditteranean flavour, English language, a pretty girl, and plenty of neighbours for votes. Among the no hopers however, are Andorra, Holland, Belgium, Bulgaria, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Monaco, Mary Harney lookalike Chiara, from Malta, and surprisingly Sweden, who normally send a good song to Eurovision, but not so this year. The Bushwhackers among the audience, will like Russia's entry, Nobody Hurt No One.

    Ireland's next rehearsal will be the first semi-final dress rehearsal on Tuesday.
