Before I start a special note to Ian, this could act as a spoiler if you do get the semi's in Oz - so you may not want to read.
It's been evident this year that there has been less cheese than usual at the Eurovision and with the 50% jury / 50% public vote thing going on that political voting has been curbed slightly.
Last night there was some really good cheese but it failed miserably to get into Saturday's final. Very disappointed that the song written by Papa Smurf himself, Father Abraham, didn't get through. Also disappointed about the fact that the Slovenian rock/folk mash up isn't through. Think Aerosmith/ Run DMC's Walk this Way but with bizarre traditional european folk replacing the rap. On a positive note the UK can vote for Cyprus which is a truly UK entry having a lead singer from Wales, and other peeps in the band from Scotland and England (aswell as some Cypriot guy in there somewhere), it's not a bad song either. For some reason I couldn't get the You Tube stuff working to include the songs within the post, (not sure if they are stopping these being embedded or what). Anyway if you do want to see what I've been going on about just follow the links to see the Netherlands and Slovenia which didn't get through and Cyprus/ the UK's better entry, which did.
