Any country brave enough to have a hobbit and a garden gnome as their backing singers deserves to win.
To be fair to Daniel O’Donnell Brian Kennedy, he did allow his grandad to be one of his backing singers. His song “Bacardi and Coke please Mafanwy” really pulled at the heartstrings like a bad case of angina.
The best aspect of his performance was that he decided to keep his thighs covered, a decision I wish many of the other performers had also made.
Now Eurovision, later Big Brother. Would they not think of merging the two programmes and put all the bands into a small sealed house with some guns and knives. Last (wo)man standing and still singing is the winner. I can only dream.
UPDATE 1: I take it all back, Finland to win! The Albanian hobbits must surely be hiding from the “never smalltalk a Finn” Orcs. Next year they’ll all be dressed like that.

Your arse! Did you not see the green haired fella from Poland or the orc yokes from Finland. I’ve photos of both if you want them.

Missed the start. Just caught the fabulous Orcs. Green poles no less? I’ll have to check out those photos.

I don’t know whether I’m sadder than you two or not but I watched BB and not the Eurovision. Think we all need to get out more! Despite not watching the programme for my tuppence worth I’d also like to see Finland winning (if Brian Kennedy doesn’t – I also like him ;-0)

Finland Finland Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Ice skating or walking,
Or just watching TV,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It’s the country for me….

Lordi for the win! If Finland don’t win I’m going on hunger strike… you hear that? Any comments about how a hunger strike would suit me down to the ground will be ignored.
