Bonnie might get a better cabin on her next cruise ship gig.

I thought the standard was higher than usual.

Bonnie did better than I thought she would so congratulations to her.

Why do the BBC think that when picking an entry ringing around a few agents is good enough for the viewing public in the UK? I hope next year they will have a proper selection process.

Denmark and Spain were my favorites.

I enjoyed the show and thought that standard was very high except for Spain and Italy. We thought the best song won. What on earth happened with the Irish entry though? We thought young Ryan Dolan was excellent. Far far better than Bonnie Tyler and we considered him to have been good enough for the top five. Ireland doesn't get lumped in with the political vote either so why on earth did he get so few votes?

I did hear Ryan Dolan was the last to sing ,so judges had already made their mind up .I didn't watch it so I don't know.

I watched it (the wife made me ) . Yes the lad was on last and up to that point we thought Denmark had it but after hearing him sing we thought he'd be a definite challenger.

Thought the overall standard was extremely poor which was just as well or we would have come in lower down.:o
I thought Bonnie Tyler was supposed to be able to sing? She was utterly appalling.:eek:
The political voting has got beyond a joke so all in all not worth watching anymore.:(

It never fails to amaze me that Johnny Foreigner hates all things British including the geriatric Bonnie, but will stop at nothing to gain entry to the country to access our benefits.
Only joking....or am I?

Some of them voted for the UK.

The Juries (judges) all base their vote on the dress rehearsal performance the day before
