your favorite to win, please. Or any other favorite not in that list. If you don't know the songs, you can see the performances on the official site:

Vicky Leandros' Apres-toi. It's not even in the list damnit.

The more songs I hear from this list, the more I wonder how they compiled it.. what's Greece doing in there?! The last song? Come on, must be better songs out there. Anyway, for now I'm going with Nicole & Ein Bisschen Frieden, because that's the first eurovision song I can actually remember, although I'm sure I've seen the show in years before that:D

Waterloo - ABBA

waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war...oh, um Waterloo - ABBA

Well, Waterloo won. Doh. Wouldn't have expected anything else. A bit snobby of them not to turn up though ;)

They are so over it. They can barely get Agnetha to appear at all in anything, especially for the documentary stuff they filmed for their DVD's.

come on people. am I THAT old? Apres-toi by Vicky Leandros was the best and most heartfelt song ever in that creepy competition.

Wasn't Buck's Fizz put together specifically for Eurovison? I know they did have a few U.K. hits in the early 80s after ABBA were no longer putting out records.

No no, I have to agree. :nod:

*But*, I wanted to vote for Celine Dion, thinking she was number 12 (I wasn't really paying attention, my beer was more interesting) and it turns out I ended up voting for Johnny Logan. :eek: Celine was number 11.

And he ended up third. I will never forgive myself.
