That Austrian entry would make a mean Bond theme.

What has been seen cannot be unseen

I'm confused what is this?

[Pica Pica]

They are entries in a eurowide song contest, put on telly to the whole of europe once a year- it's often a bit different.

Alas, my favourite song didn't make the final.

An Icon. And Hopfully a role model for a better tomorow.

[Pica Pica]

A transexual has won eurovision once before of course.

Best think about Eurovision is the scoring at the end with votes coming in from all the participating countries. It takes forever but it's great fun.
Anyway, so far Conchita, the lady with the beard from Austria, is winning but with the Netherlands entry not too far behind.

I'm watching this on French television and ,interestingly, the female commentator refers to Conchita as "she" whereas the male commentator uses "he"...

[Kimberley Beauregard]

#PoorFrance is trending worldwide.

[Pica Pica]

UK commentator is using he but then, when they spurted confetti into his commentary booth he described it as 'the gay wedding I'll never get - it's in my wine.'

Loved the Austrian point giver wearing a knitted beard.

As for France, seems to be the beards are beating the moustaches.

[Kimberley Beauregard]

I loved it when the Finnish guy was rapping and Graham Norton said "that wasn't at all embarrassing".  My sister and I cracked up.

And it looks like our bearded babe wins.

[Donna Elvira]

Conchita WINS!!!!

Great result, can imagine that Russia are a little angry

[FalseHybridPrincess]

Man I felt so happy

[Donna Elvira]

Great result, can imagine that Russia are a little angry

Absolutely. The triumph of western decadence over the moral values of eternal Russia..

[Pica Pica]

Good, wasn't it?

This article includes ministers calling Conchita a pervert and petitions to government's to edit out the Conchita bits... still the winner.

I didn't watch it because I was at work - but looked up the results and am happy

Not happy about the abuse Conchita is receiving though, there is no need!

I watched it on danish, swedish and alittle sign languarge just for fun.  when the france was to give point the swedish sub said "I have no idea what she is saying but shes as tall as the tower"
