Good old Terry. He sounds more hammered and Irish than usual

There's nothing even remotely similar to that in the New World.

Last time I checked, much of Western Europe was included in the 'New World' you mention...

[ytaya]

... yes. Because you said 'New World' and not 'First World'. Excuse the brain fart, sorry!

I had much the same reaction as you! The French entry was crazy - I think they take it less seriously than we do, if that's possible. I was shocked that they included English lyrics. I was knitting while watching the show, and when the Ukraine entry came on, I just stopped, mid-movement, and sat staring.

I even had the same reaction to Russia :D

I didn't mind our song (in this context, I hasten to add!). It was very Euro-camp trashy gimmick and we've certainly done worse.

People over here don't believe me when I tell them how political and xenophobic the Eurovision Song Contest really is. It's one of the things I really miss.

There sure are a lot of British people named Terry!

[rogerirrelevant]

There are. And this one is Irish :)

Go Wikki Terry Wogan, and you'll know who we're talking about.
