    Thumbs up Eurovision Song Contest 2009

    Such a shame that more countries didn't make more use of Lasers.
    Only Estonia had some hand held ones.

    Gawd bless Eurovision !

    What happened to Terry Wogan?
    Possibly the only sane thing about the whole event?

    I believe he's been sent back to the factory in Irleand to be upgraded; new motherboard, CPU H/D format, following an embarrasing episode at a recent mall opening. Apparently he thought he was a lepricorn, went on a guiness binge and it took 3 buckets of water, several security guards and a crowbar to prise him off Princess Anne's leg?

    Don't forget they finally replaced watercooling with a big fan.

    I thought the scale on quality of production was amazing, i think in some news clip they had here the production manager said they had 10 000 square meters of LED lighting / video - that is just staggering.

    The thing I hate about this contest is, of course next to the commercial crap music and their stupid restrictions, that they use moving heads/washes, big LED panels and hazers, with chilled fog coming out of the stage and pyro at the end, but not anything else. It is just the normal line-up of a tv-program, but of course way bigger. Where are the lasers? (thank you Armenia!) Where are the big multiple meter mirror balls? Where are the LED-effects?

    And that music, seriously. Max. 3 minutes! Max. 5 people on stage! Come on, how do you think to make music with that? I mean, to the music I listen to, 3 minutes is the intro!
