135/366 And The Winner Is.......

Not the UK again! First place went to Ukraine's Jamala with the song 1944.

The song was a bit too political for me (It's a song about Stalin's forced deportation of Crimean Tatars, including members of Jamala's own family, in 1944) but then so is the voting political in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Love it or hate Eurovision is a great 3 hours worth of glitz, glamour and unicorns. I must admit I'm a big Eurovision Song Contest Fan.

This wiki link better explains Eurovision than I can en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest

This, the 61st. Eurovision Song Contest watched by 200 million people and today's contest was broadcast live to the USA for the first time by Logo TV.

I thought the UK's entry was quite good and at least we didn't come last this year :)

and here's the song I wanted to win France's entry Amir - J'ai cherché www.youtube.com/watch?v=boYQovCybYQ I just loved it and it wasn't because of his devilishly handsome looks...honest :)
