Even more surprisingly Blue is like 3rd or 4th favourite to win!

I thought Blue sang for the UK? Who are they singing for?

Blue are singing for the UK, not really impressed with the song though. Jedward are for Ireland and should be entertaining if Celebrity Juice is anything to go by!
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

They know they are not the best singers but they are now probably the most successful contestants from that series of X Factor, I wasn't a big fan of them on the X Factor but the characters they have been morphed into since are quite funny, they don't take themselves too seriously. I hope they do well.

Where have I been? I've missed the run up to the Eurovision Song contest this year, very unlike me as I always watch it ... yes I'm being brave now and owning up to loving the Eurovision :Embarrassed:
I'm making up for missing the run up by cancelling my plans for tomorrow so I can stay glued to the TV, now how sad is that! lol
If there are any other sad people like me then please feel free to own up so I don't have to feel all alone in my madness. :red:

Well I wasn't able to watch it last night and apparently the Netherlands got kicked out again before making it to the finals :( I have to say I really dislike all these separate rounds, I know they had to do that when the amount of participating countries got too large but idk I kinda preferred the "old" way.

Gah. I might watch the first hour but I think the Million Pound Drop might on the whole provide more excitement! The Eurovision used to be so cool when I was young, I watched every year, but now all the songs sound the same. (Grumble, mumble, everything in my youth was better).
