5 votes so far, and nil points for the UK.

Even Malta has screwed us over.

That would never happen

Still we've still got the olympics, if you're going to waste money do it on a global scale

We have one point, and are stone last.

Edit #1 ~ Estonia just gave us 5 points.

But we are still stone last.

Edit #2 ~ Latvia gave us 2 points, we are ahead of Norway.

Edit #3 ~ The Irish gave us 4 points, so we finish second last. {Norway propped up the table, whilst the Swedes ran away with it)

At least we are not pointless, what would be the point in that, I can now hold my head up high in Uzbekistan

The show is the height of kitsch, many years ago it stopped being about music and turned into a European allies mutual masturbation night.
The UK should give up on all the daft planning and trying to win this and just go along for a laugh; we should put on the British equivalent of Lordi or some death metal group.

No, its the winning.

Choirs of angels could be the backing vocals and the Archangel Gabriel himself could sing lead and we still wouldn't win a dog-biscuit. Not, of course, that our entry is in that bracket.

Hoepfully Jedward won't do well; they are there mainly to make us realise how much artistic merit there used to be in Stock Aitkin Waterman.

I didn't watch it, but caught the end of the voting. Looked like a landslide, but that's hardly a surprise as the winning song has already been a chart hit in a number of countries round Europe!

I notice that before we had a final performance of the winning song, there was an on-screen message warning of flashing lights and strobe effects. Was there a similar message prior to the Jedward song?

... "Warning! Tossers on the screen!"
