Someone pass me the sick bucket , the song was absolute rubbish and should never have won . Thank god it's only at no 3 in in the Uk, goes to show we have taste and style in music unlike some .

Well said Darlo, the song was shite IMO. How it won just bamboozles me.

Please no.

He had an appalling voice. I can only think he won it on his looks.

They should go back to how the contest was originally set up i.e they used to have a panel from each country just judging the songs, without seeing the acts. So the winner was chosen only on how good the song was. Now they have so many flashing lights and dancers to distract from rubbish songs.

woop woop
Im in loveeeee with a fairytalllllle
even though it hurts

i think it's the best thing to happen since edwardian times

do you know why i love it so

because the preparation of all the other countries,the costumes,the make-up,rehearsals,money,expenses and
even producing andrew lloyd webcam
couldn't beat......................

A BIT O'DAFT!!!!!

I can't tell you how it cheered my day

How wonderful that the whole of Europe agreed that all they wanted for Eurovision was a happy lidl ditty with no content that they could sing along to whilst washing up!

CLEVER,PONCIE,OTT,AND THE WEBMEISTER
ALL A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME

I feel at 'one' with my neighbours in Europe

We are all united - we are all humming a bit of nonesense TOGETHER dabs eye

SILLY - BUT WONDERFULLY SILLY!

catchy tune *flippin singing it on and off after that..my husband was getting annoyed to say the least*

charts though....dont think so..although there is a fair amount of rubbish there so who knows.

it was awful....i still can't understand how it won....and with a record points score....it's carpers!!!!

Absolute tosh!

i think it was because it was very folkish music..fiddles, the dancing, the ladies singing, the beat it appealed to a lot of european countries.

He was very clever with that song!!

Exactly! It's completely moved away from it being a contest to find the best song and songwriter. I remember they used to give the trophy to the winning songwriter, not the performer.

Oh yes I remember that the songwriter used to get all the plaudits and do you remember they used to have an orchestra playing and each country had their own conductor.

One of the entries was so ridiculous I couldn't watch the screen for all the blinding flashing lights, and cameras quick zooming everywhere

My favourite was the Malta entry, where the girl sang on her own. She had the most beautiful voice and the song was very catchy and should have won by a landslide.

Yes, I rememeber them having their own orchestras or backing musicians too. Do you remember the year Abba won? The conductor of their orchestra dressed up as Napoleon. I also liked Malta's entry.

I think its a lovely little ditty, hope it gets to number 1

I think the song is alright..I thought Iceland, Malta and Ukraine where the best though

Sorry Darlo but I didn't like the UK song any better than the winning entry and to get to No 3 shows that the song is popular

Hooray for Dizzee Rascal and the Black Eyed Peas, at least he won't be number one here . Dizzee is cool.

I love it
