Same here! It's being nicknamed the Balkanvision Non-Song Contest

And it would be a shame if Western Europe pulled out, as not only would all the funding be lost so it wouldn't be such a good show, but it's a long tradition. I'm so disappointed because although nothing even remotely approaching 'taste' has been heard since Abba, you do at least always expect a genuine song to win. I'm intrigued to know what Germany thinks as they did make an effort, in contrast to the embarrassing (even in Eurovision terms) rubbish churned out by the UK, France and Ireland.

I don't know what this has to do with Tolkien any more except he will be rolling in his grave to have that lot last night even tenuously associated with him and it deserves to be Assigned To Mordor forthwith!
