Wow.

What can one say.

From Finnish hard-rockers from a galaxy far, far away; to Albanian peasants with bagpipes; to the Monaco entry (what do you call someone from Monaco: Monacan?) transporting us to Hawaii and the Netherlands playing the bongos; to Poles at a masquerade ball; to Sweden re-creating a wind tunnel and flying flags; to Lithuanian business men telling us "We are the winners of Eurovision": pure and unparalleled entertainment.

Gill on the Ship wrote a wonderful review which I doubt can be bettered: take a look.

Bring on Sunday night: the time we see it down here.
