European Song Contest
Couldn't believe my eyes....flicking through the channels and what do I come across...yep, the European Song Contest. On closer examination (and checking the internet) we are now watching the Semi Finals in Istanbul.
If anyone else is watching, does it sound as crap through their TV as it does through our little 14" portable?
Have to admit that while watching it I'm missing Terry Wogan's sarcastic little comments, although the Aussie Guy is putting in a good effort with the sarcy comments

The sound quality is OK, through a reasonable system, but the actual songs/singers leave a little to be desired. My little grl reckons that Australian Idol was much better!
I agree that it was much better with Terry Wogans comments
SBS reception is normally not very good in most areas.

We're competing with a really good song (well, as far as this contest is ever concerned!), but will no doubt lose out to political voting!

We listen to radio 2 at work and they have been playing our entry loads! It's by James Fox (he was in Fame Academy) and it's actually quite good - and he's fit!!!

Oops, I do stand corrected, although I thought that the rules were that if you ended up down the bottom, that you didn't get in the following year. Shows how much I know

No, you're right Jaykay, that's the general rule. But there's some small print regarding the big countries (UK, Germany, France). Because they provide most of the funding for Eurovision they get to stay in whatever.
