There was some interesting voting tonight, it all hasn't gone on the usual political lines. |

Although not in Europe, Israel is allowed to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest as a member of the EBU and did so for the first time in 1973. |

Sadly Sue, the contest has become something of a farce - politics have taken over. |

Well bigotry and politics haven't won this time :-) |

Given that it is the European Song Contest, I am always curious that Israel takes part. |

The beard is a giveaway . Isn't it supposed to be about the singing not bigotry or politics? |

I think you are right Tec and there was an uprore once some county's found out it wasn't a woman, well it look's as though it is going to happen again but this time there is no mistaking the sex of the person. |

I seem to remember that a few years ago Israel won the contest sung by a young man in drag |

It is countries with anti homosexuality laws such as Russia who didn't want to broadcast the song |

Linda, I admire that he chose or is it choose to be himself, but it was a bit of a shock when he first came on, I say live and let live as long as people respect and live a life that doesn't harm other's then I don't have a problem with the way they look. |
