london1967Forget about the silly Olympics, this is the year's most important event: the Eurovision Song Festival!
Adrian and I watched the 2 semi-finals on Tue and Thu nights, and are looking forward to the final tomorrow evening.
The camptastic semi-finals were made more even enjoyable by the two BBC commentators' naughty and funny comments. Last night they even played a game of "he's gay or European" (which is something that Adrian and I sometimes do too)
[Note: the concept of 'gay or European' works because people in Britain don't think of themselves as Europeans].
On Tue evening they interviewed the Italian singer, Nina Zilli and asked her whether she had a message for all the people watching the show in the gay bars. She replied that she's a gay icon in Italy and that she loves the gays.
Well Nina you got my vote. Not just for that, or because you're Italian, but because I love your song.
I don't know how well she'll do tomorrow night. And I have no idea who's going to win. Sweden? Russia?
A country that doesn't want to win is (apparently) Spain Don't win Eurovision, Spanish entrant told"
Pity as it is a great song. I may have to vote for Pastora as well.
It is was all down to the public vote, the UK's 12 points would go to Turkey and Italy would assign 12 points to Romania and 10 to Moldova, but of course now half the points come from juries. Which makes it a bit more unpredictable, and fun.
