Angry Ukrainian nationalists have held protests against the selection of a controversial drag queen to represent Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The demonstrations are part of a campaign to pressure the former Soviet republic to withdraw from the contest.

Verka Serdyuchka, who pokes fun at middle-aged women, is loved by many people and is a cult icon in Ukraine.

Maybe some countries realise they just won't win so think they will have more of a a fun entrant.

It's one big shambles with no decent talent. Nil points.

It's enough to make you wish Cliff Richard would have another go.

Oh I like this game....

Bucks Fizz, and that nice guy from Ireland that won twice!

Who is so famous, that I don't know his name!!!!

Johnny Logan. He won in 1981 and 1987, and wrote the winner in 1992.

That's him.

Thankyou smurfboy.

Didn't know about him writing the winner in '92. Just read in a forum about this years entrant and some of the past winners, but couldn't remember his name.

Germany has been tipped to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki by a BBC panel.

Is everyone watching eurovision? Who thinks there's some miming going on?

wjp666 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 13, 2007, 05:05:47 am »

i was wondering about the miming - but i thought it was illegal in the contest?

i was very disapponted we didn't get 'no points' - we truly deserved it this year.

and the winner? absolute rubbish!

(but terry wogan? what a star!)

Yes, it's official. Ronnie Corbet won the Eurovision song contest!

The song I liked the best was Hungary's entry, followed by Lithunania. Our efforts were laughable but it's frightening that we got the same number of votes as the lunatic french entry which was a truly tragic performance.

I quite liked the Irish entry musically but the singing was awful.

The voting was, of course, as political as ever, indicated by Malta giving us an undeserved 12 points and Norway and Sweden giving each other full points, not to mention all the Baltic states voting for each other regardless of the quality of the songs.

All-in-all, a glorious olio of Europoean chic eccentricity and lunacy.

I liked when the winners were walking to the stage and Terry mentioned Abbot and Costello. I wanted Greece to win and like wjp was hoping UK would go home with no points.

I was hoppping for nail points aswell

But Malta is Full of Brits!

oldspice · « **Reply #14 on:** May 13, 2007, 01:46:02 pm »

Malta also votes for us because we helped them during the war and decorated them for their bravery.

All-in-all, although the winner was no glamour puss, the song was Ok. Certainly better than many other offerings.
