The Eurovision Song Contest

I have watched the eurovision song contest for many years and shall watch it again tonight. I always have this hope that someone will come up with a song that will completely blow me away. Well about 30 years of watching it and it hasn't happened yet but maybe one day.
Just listened to our entry by Blue. Well it didn't blow me away just another boy band song but I suppose it's good enough for eurovision. I shudder at some of the entries that get in and to think that they actually have to qualify. Makes you wonder just how bad the ones that didn't get through were.
 Of course if we had to qualify we'd never get into the competition again. As one of the "Big Five" though our place is assured. Which means that just about every country in europe can make war on us from the comfort of their armchairs.
I miss Sir Terry Wogan's commentary on the proceedings. His caustic comments made the whole show much more entertaining. Graham Norton is ok but it's not the same. Instead now I have to make my own caustic comments. This does not go down well with my wife but I have to entertain myself somehow.
I always wanted someone like Pink Floyd or Queen to do our entry. May have made it really worth watching. 
Still I'll be there tonight, glass of whisky in hand, caustic comments at the ready and hoping against all previous experience that this year there will be a song that I can like. I'm dreaming aren't I?
