You're right, it's all about the music, which is why the Czech Republic has gone for tone deaf Tereza Kerndlov?

When are we going to learn, stop selecting dreadful power ballads and either enter Philippa Forrester (ooh, there's a thought to send a man weak at the knees) or a troupe of acrobatic dwarves dressed in caveman outfits?

There was certainly something strangely alluring about the old panel system of scoring: a bunch of greying middle-aged oddballs drinking sherry, debating chord structures and then voting for the same country as last year.


But at least with the advent of the public vote, one of the best three songs usually tends to win.


'You can't fool the general public' as Pete Waterman once said, without a hint of irony.

"The public gets what the public wants" as Jam said long time ago. I want Greece, Sweden or Ukraine...For those who've said don't watch it before the final: some of the best performances are in the semi finals (e.g. Dustin the turkey, the pirates, those who sang about vegetables etc).

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
