Has anyone listened to any of the song's yet?  Any favs?

I'm quite partial to Austria and Israel's song, but seriously some of them are BAD!

Here is a link to a Eurovision drinking game: http://www.webtender.com/handbook/games/eurovision-song-contest.game

It seems a bit complicated to me but someone might like it.  ;D

With all those drinking prompts and knowing Eurovision, I think I'd be lying on the floor dead of alcohol poisoning before the first half hour! :P

I knew I bought a bottle of wine for some reason tonight!  On my way to BBC3 now - though sadly, two floors down & away from the PC.

That's part of the deal!  Actually makes it more fun.  Wait til you see the costumes.

I cannot fathom how most of these groups think they're song is ... AMAZING. by any means.

I liked Andorra too but voted for someone else.  :-X ;)

Was surprised Israel didn't make it through but very glad Switzerland and that awful song got canned. It wasn't even bad enough to be good!

Dinner, snacks and wine set up for tomorrow!  ;D

Unless someone else is spectacular, my vote will be for Hungary. That girl did a great Blues number. 8)
