Anita should never have the indignity of having to rap again. Her voice just isn't suited to it.

It was only ever going to go wrong when Ralph Siegel got involved, and completely ruined a perfect opportunity.

Like I said Wednesday, its a 2 horse race now unless a miracle happens....

Anti-political voting will probably go in Sweden's favour this year more than most.

I love Slovenia's song.....really

Piece of info: Maraaya when pronounced, means 'she has Ray'. They brought us Ula to Junior last year.

I don't think Russia will win, Sweden has the better song. Australia and Italy may beat Russia too.

This semi much better than first. I feel sad that some acts will go home as a result of getting the wrong draw.

I think this year is about to get very interesting, very quickly.

We had a huge shock on Tuesday at the result, and I think we may tonight, too.

When are you joining us Viva?

Not coming this year. We booked last year as soon as the final was over to come to Vienna... flights, everything. Then they put the contest back a week. When we say the weather forecast last weekend we promptly rebooked and went to Barcelona instead. Seeing Vienna for the first time in a thunderstorm was not very appealing.

We'd booked the flights using Avios points and a small amount of cash. Only changed our mind a few days before, when we saw the weather forecast. Managed to get all of our Avios points back, so only lost a small cash sum each. Not too bad a hit.

I've never had to wonder where Austria is before .... I just knew it was "out there somewhere"

Given a blank map and a pen I'd have guessed it to be where Switzerland is, or the bottom half of Germany.

That's pretty bloomin' close Pastures. Austria has borders with both. Both Switzerland and Austria are underneath the bottom half of Germany.
