You see if I had remembered about this competition being on this week, I'm sure I would have mentioned it a lot sooner.
I did forget. It's usually on like a week earlier, but oh well.
As a fellow Brit, its sort of tradition for us, as a family, to sit in front of the TV and watch the Eurovision. Not to see any new talent. To laugh at the really camp ones and vote for the really camp ones. That's what makes it funny. You should never really take Eurovision seriously.
So, me, personally, I always go and watch the show knowing that we're not going to win. We don't live next to any big country's to vote for us. Because that's how it goes these days. It's not about the talent, it's about politics these days.
Maybe it's just the fact that I'm from Britain and we're probably pretty bitter because every other country hates us and we never seem to do any form of a good song. Then there's also the fact that I've been listening to Terry Wogan's commentating most of my life.
Though I must admit, though Graham Norton tends to try and imitate Wogan, he was actually pretty funny this year. I felt that last year he seemed to be a bit awkward in his role, but he's settled in now by the looks of it and knows how things work.
All in all, it was a great night. We had a lot of fun taking the mickey out of many of the performances. France was probably one of the funniest.
But, we came last.
As expected.
But now it is getting late so I'll leave with the final comment.
Good night, great fun. I'll probably tune in next year too to see how it all goes. Though I know not to expect much...
Night!
