And so once again, the season of glad tidings for things camp and kitch, The Eurovision song contest begins with the first of two semi-finals tonight and the final on Saturday.
This year seems well populated with Stock/Aitken/Waterman type songs, big birds from Malta, daftness from Italy, but as my gift to you, I give you Hungary's entry. Come on, who doesn't like a bit of rap/throat singing with overtones of bondage....... Watch it now, because I don't think you will see it after the semi-final!

Sounds good. I don't listen to songs in advance but am hoping there's lots of silliness as I didn't really love last year.

I love it when they sing in their own language so Portugal get points for that!

I actually quite like Italy's song. But tonight Finland is the best. A beautiful, simple ballad called Blackbird.
A complete lack of typical Eurovision songs for me

Finland, Moldova and Slovenia.
Anyone but Montenegro.he can't sing or dance.
Slovenia sounds like a musical songs. Like a first draft of This Is The Moment from J&H

I loved the song from Portugal, but I agree about Australia, very poor performance. My money would be on a Swedish or Greek win.
