	Am I imagining this, or did they used to have a panel of judges from every participating country taking part, who used to vote? Then they made it more 'democratic' and the public phoned in their vote. maggie

	I watched the voting and feel that we should just pull out of it and leave them to it. The whole spirit of the thing is ruined.... it's a farce and an embarassment. It is not about music and to try and pretend it is, like they were, is just an insult to the intelligence xx

	Why do we go in for it in the first place Penny.......the voting seems political to me, and neighbouring countries always vote for each other anyway..... sally

	The worst thing about it is Terry Wogan. The second worst thing is the songs. The third worst thing is the politics. Can't think of anything good about it at all.

	love the Euro we usually turn it into a family gathering with bets who will win. We have not a chance in hell of winning but it's still a good laugh. Elvis reincarnated could represent UK and we still wouldn't win.

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 5,899 Send Message	I usually watch it with the subtitles as what they sing just doesn't make sense - in English A nice bottle of wine helps too :-) I don't think we will ever win again - just wondered why we contributed !

	Andy Abraham is a real sweety I really hope he wins and I think we actually stand a chance with him singing

	haven't watched it for years now - not since countries started voting politically instead of voting for the best entry!!
