Where has the silliness gone?

I finally watched Eurosvision last night and was bitterly, bitterly diappointed. Only one act was silly and absurd, they are all letting the side down! It's as though they've decided the point is to win, and so be serious, and have missed the whole reason that people actually watch Eurovision. I don't want to see talent, I want to see people making idiots of themselves.
That said, that violin playing Norwegian was good, and may I point out now that my mum is Norwegian so I feel that I can cheer legitimatly.
What is the world coming to when people on Eurovision take themselves seriously? Are we ever going to have a 'Flying the Flag' again?
