Eurovision 2012

Anyone else watching? 

I am. DH said that I must experience the "god-awfulness" at least once.

Mother of God, this woman with the trash bag around her shoulders and what looks like a snake around her neck is hurting my ears.

FallGal--it's all about mocking them, and I believe it works best with large quantities of alcohol--then it becomes fun.

I should have started drinking much, much earlier. 
HEE!

Watching and drinking Pimms. What a great way to relax on a Saturday night.

Yes, alcohol is an absolute MUST!

I loved the Russian grannies! So far no one else has really moved me.

Just waiting for Jedward.  The cheese factor is largely missing this year... Which is why I watch.

Yes. They seem to be very mediocre this year. Turkey had a boat though. 

Oh lordy! Who chose Jedward's outfits?

Ah well. The weakest Eurovision since I moved here. The cheese was thin....

I voted for Russia. I hope the grannies get enough money to rebuild their church.

There has been no whimsy this year! It is a bit poor, we are big eurovision lovers, but this year its a bit ehhhh

I don't know.  Everytime I see the male announcer's face, the cheese factor spikes up.  Of course, I like the cheesiness in the songs and costumes.  Somehow the announcer talking just makes me want to hurt someone.

We've all been watching on Facebook!

Poor Englebert.  But his song was just too slow and sad.  I think Tom Jones would have been a better choice if they really wanted to go the old man route.

Absolutely gutted for the singing Babushkas! I so wanted them to win, and they hardly got any votes from the UK.

I was also rather hopeful for Jedward to be more ridiculous - they were far more enjoyable last year.

Overall: not enough absurdity! After Moldova's performance last year, I think my standard was just set a bit too high.
