Sadly, the Russians won't be sending us the latest incarnation of the Spice Girls:

Well, watching the semi-final right now I wonder why do Germany never needs to qualify and always comes in last?
My TV tax is the answer. It pays for all this. In light of the global financial crisis, cn we just say German TV taxes will be suspended until Germany wins the competition with 12 points from every contestant nation.
I mean, who pays should be able to decide who wins, right?
For my taxes I want "Texas lightning" to win first price every year. Am I asking to much? Not really!
I'd also accept ABBA, if they sing in German.

Kerouac, that youtube clip was lovely. He probably won't win though - he's not wacky enough.
We were in Athens in 2006 when Eurovision was on. It was fabulous to watch the tourists who had come especially for Eurovision. We also met 2 Belgian men who were very excited to be there and told us that it was a lifelong dream come true to be able to attend Eurovision!!
On the night of the final there were people walking the street waving their national flags and wearing t-shirts with their flags on them etc. We were in a restaurant on the night of the final and it became very obvious that the staff wanted us to hurry up and get out so they could lock up and go home to watch the final on tv.

Hi Logos...What's with Lena's acceptance speech? Someone get her off that stage.
Congratulations, Germany. You now have the honours of spending x million euros on the next Eurovision show. Greece and Turkey are very relieved.
