Eurovision Song Contest
I haven't followed the Eurovision Song Contest for many years but having nothing better to do I watched the first semi-final on Tuesday and that was enough. I certainly won't be tuning in tomorrow for the finals. All the songs, with a few exceptions seemed to be variations on the same theme.And why do they need all the special effects that bring on epileptic attacks? Is it to distract from the fact that the songs aren't up to standard?
Or am I just getting old and out of touch?

I don't think there will ever be another singer or group who will become as famous as them by winning Eurovision.
Interesting fact. The man behind the Swedish Song for Europe concept is leaving Sweden and heading for the USA to try and introduce a similar competition there. Can you imagine a song contest with 50 entries!?

I would say that Abba are more popular over here now than they were at the time. There are often programmes on tv about them and of course there are the films and the plays too. They are all so talented.
