That's something I don't get at all, since the usual broadcasting time of Doctor Who does not even clash with the Eurovision song contest.

Of course, Greece won a few years ago with a song that included the stunning lyrics "you are the one, my number one". |
The Greek performance mainly seemed to be based on the other outstanding attributes of the singer. Ukraine was similar. But since both songs finished in the top spots, the strategy seems to have worked for a lot of people.
And I remember the year Greece won with a Jennifer Lopez wannabe and dumb lyrics, because that year the song that finished in last place - a scantily leather-clad young lady with a forgettable pop song - was just as good or respectively bad as the song that won - a scantily sequin-clad young lady with a forgettable pop song. And I never understood why one won and the other finished in last place, since song, act and singer were absolutely interchangable. [/quote] |

I can only agree. As for the Russian song, it was only mediocre and the performance was weird. The ice skating and Stradivari thingie made me laugh. I still find that the Israeli contestant was best. He had really an outstanding voice and the song was beautiful. I know I shouldn't take it too seriously but it kind of p*sses me off that people do not vote for the best song but for their fellow country men and/or the most scantily clad lady.

I confess to an extravagant fantasy of mine: to have both figure skater Yagudin and fellow Russia hockey player Alexander Ovechkin on ice on stage. LOL. |
O/T Don't know about the hockey guy - never seen him, so feel free to post a picture - but Yagudin's fantastic. It's really unfortunate that so many people remember only the pairs scandal from SLC 2002 because he went out there and skated two amazing, beautiful programs. I've been watching figure skating on and off for more than a decade now, and Winter is beyond doubt the best program I've seen anyone skate. A shame he had to retire. |

Brilliant hockey player.
