It’s an overblown, over-hyped ghost of the show it once was. Now, it’s not really about music at all. It’s a jolly, loutish clown-fest of lighting extravaganzas, weird outfits and smoke bombs. The voting was always going to be political, especially among the less academically endowed nations. Now it’s not even geographical. It goes on forever. Shapeless, ill-disciplined and often completely talentless, it’s only bearable with copious amounts of alcohol and nothing to do but sleep the next day. I loved the commentaries of Terry Wogan and Graham Norton, two delightful Irishmen who have kept us sane and amused throughout it all. I wish all those involved a lot of fun with it, whatever continent they’re from.

So Canada Australia used to have Russia why is it the Eurovision? Time to make it a world or monde?
