EUROVISION 2009---YES, I DID SAY 2009

[Lena & Harry Smith]

No, that's true there is no guarantee that we will win even with a well known singer, but in spite of the farce with neighbouring countries voting for their own and after coming near bottom for so many years at least it should be put to the test.

I read on Teletext today, that ALW thought that the "Wrong" act might get voted through, and if so, he could not work a miracle. I think it is obvious that Jade is his favourite-to me she sounds ok-but quite ordinary.

Each of the 3 contestants is singing the Eurovision song called "My Time"-[or something similar.]

Personally I like the Twins, as they sing really nicely together.

Well, that was over quickly--predictably Jade won--but she did a good job with ALW's song.

I thought the song was very typical of ALW--I'm not saying that is bad, as I love his music.

To me it was perhaps simpler than his usual music, but catchy too. My verdict is---I like it !!

It is a typical ALW show song which I don't think is appropriate for Eurovision, but hopefully I will be proved wrong.
Out of the finalists tonight I thought Mark sang the song the best and I can see him in a West End production, but Jade really needs to give the song the Shirley Bassey treatment to get anywhere with the Eurovision voters I feel.

ALW is so pleased Jade won, he is going to play piano on Eurovision night
