The Eurovision song contest has been run and won for another year. Much to the disappointment of a few who haven't heard the result yet - Turkey won.
This year's contest will not be remembered for being held in Riga, Turkey winning or supplying any new acts but for the all time low that the UK team provided us with.
0
Yes, 0, that was the total number of votes polled by the UK act Jemmi. It is a new low, normally you get one vote from the Swedes in sympathy. Malta managed 4 which now looks respectable. This is the lowest score ever and the first time an act has failed to score.
The UK has a pretty poor record in this competition and has consistently avoiding relegation because of the tv rights they pay, but this time they should be banned. For anyone who is into pain and suffering or wants to become a torturer, watch it. I've seen much better Karoke at the pub, actually I reckon I've sung better than them, and this is from a bloke who at a 21st was told by the compere at the karoke he'd buy us a round of drinks if we promised not to sing again that night because he need to keep SOME customers.
Tatu, the Russian lesbian duet, were tipped to win but were actually beaten into third by the surprise of the night the Belgium entry.
Anyway good watching to those who want to it is good fun.
