Blue - Juries took "I Can" out!

Well it is very interesting to read this morning that as the figures of the Eurovision Final have emerged and the split between the jury and Public votes has been released, Blue did as expected impress "the people" of Europe coming 5th in the Televote which I feel was a much fairer placing than the 11th they finished in the final.

This as it seems was in part due to the jury vote which cast Blue 22nd in the final which is a ridiculous decision

RIP Kathy Kirby

In tribute to the late great Kathy Kirby who passed away this week, her performance from the Eurovision Song contest. A great talent and thoughts go out to her family and friends

Rumor Mill Begins for Baku 2012

Well I am very surprised this morning to read that the Azerbaijan delegation is considering...wait for it...building a brand new arena for the Eurovision Song contest. Baku has a couple of choices but the fact that the nation want to wow the European audience even more by building something new for the event says a lot about what this victory means.

I guess Azerbaijan want to make sure they give off a great impression, after all Germany put on such a great show in terms of venue and staging it will be hard for any nation to match it.

If they are to build a new stadium, avoid the British builders....it wont be finished for 2022 let alone 2012 if thats the case!
