Jonny K:
The BBC Eurovision site is very good now that it's been updated at last. As I don't live in the UK I can't watch that interview with Andy - nor any other videos - for rights reasons.
IT says so sad.... hahahaha

So sad.

sadly I wasn't there again.. BUT very happy Charlotte didn't win.
Since EVERYBODY who has attended RetroBar knows that the song that wins Retro will NOT win ESC.
@ Retro It's called the kiss of DEATH.
so will Charlotte actually win for real now?
I know she won her semi @ Retro.
Who was the winner this year?
Absolutely great evening and happy that Sweden did not win... Love France and Belgium... France was best of big 4. Excellent.
Thats why they get bad results
because they dont even knwo what the rest of europe likes
Maybe Andorra would make it.. but a 2nd position is extremely high, u know that means that all the countries will vote for this tiny nation..
Malta in the final??? Give me a break
11pts to Estonia.. way too much
Just back from this event - it was a laugh and, having made it ticket only, it wasn't quite as packed as last year, which was unbearable).
One complaint though - for the second year running we didn't get to be a 'jury'. This may not be such a big deal, but I think a lot of the fun is in the participation. If a whole load of people who've paid money then don't get to participate, they may as well have stayed at home and watched the promo videos on the internet. Which is what I think I'll do next year.
Still, nice to have given a bit of money to some very worthy charities.
And for those who are interested, Iceland won it (accompanied by a level of excitement from some that made me think they'd actually won the real thing!), Sweden were just second, followed by Switzerland, Ukraine and Norway. My favourites Turkey and Malta came nowhere and Spain got the (well deserved) nul points ;-)
It looks like Sweden has won!
YYYYYYPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!
Of course, don't we all live in Southern Sweden...!
Yes I do live in southren Sweden!
Sweden the Eurovision 'Hero'

Jonyy:

Don't worry, I have your cover foiled! But don't worry, I won't tell anybody! 
jonny:
who's Danny?
Zugeer zugeer, Sarantuya!
- Sarantuya B
Really, I thought your name was Danny!!! And if your name is Danny then you must be male, and if you're male and having a monthly "thing" . . . . . . . .AARAAAAARRGRGRHGHGHGRHGRH!!!!
I'm sorry JOHN Today,
it's the time of the month when women have their "thing"
It certainly wasn't my intention to be rude to you.
I'm sorry.
That was just a question, Sarantuya.... I don't quite understand this rude reaction.
UK is now 1 hour ahead of GMT!

Let me add 'Willox Willox', 'Tomás Mannix' and 'Jay Stone' to the list. In a certain article, he was talking to himself using various identities that posted consecutively. And guess what: they supported each other's comments! What a surprise.
Let me say this UK scorebord is more 'real' than the OGAE thing. Sweden is leading but no so clearly. And Hungary got a #6 spot (even if it deserves more, hehe), while it was virtually ignored in the OGAE voting. Still I don't agree on some things, like Latvia scoring higher than Macedonia, Croatia or Cyprus (it's almost an insult).
