The Eurovision Song Contest - Did you watch? [View all]
Apparently this year's contest was just about as dire as ever, with the UK garnering nil points in the final for a pretty crap song.
We didn't watch, even though this is one of the most watched TV events in the world. However I've been reading the comment threads on various European Facebook groups and found them more entertaining than the show could possibly have been. Lots of Brits carping about the performance of the English entry or complaining that 'it's all political', or trying to derail into absolutely weird stuff.
The first and last Eurovision show I watched was in 1974 when ABBA won with 'Waterloo' and changed the direction of pop music.

| I watched because The Eurovision Song Contest holds a horrid fascination for me, like road rage videos. | |
