    That's my wife signing at 14:51 just a day after laser laparoscopy abdominal surgery. Lots of meds to cover the pain. Ah, happy memories.

      I think the most catchy and memorable song won. The other seven were rather bland and middle-of-the-road, although I would have expected A Little Bit of Heaven or We Will Protect You to come second rather than Lover Come In. Having said that, the singer of the latter was incredibly adorable and wrote the song himself which is even cuter :) Such a tragedy that Samantha's song would be murdered by the appallingly bad orchestra in Rome, not to mention the unsuitably frivolous (for a song about poverty) choice of dresses worn by her and her backing singers. Nevertheless, it still managed a top ten position...something the United Kingdom would now kill for in Eurovision.

      I agree with all this disremembrance. I would add that this show was good entertainment, we were allowed to make up our own minds instead of listening to the likes of Rylan Clark, and how I miss Terry Wogan. The viewer was treated like an adult by the BBC revealing the votes for all songs and not as nowadays when everything is concealed as much as possible to conform with political correctness. As for the main show itself is it any wonder the viewing figures have dropped from 500 million to 180 million with the block voting and that oh so irritating moving scoreboard.

    Posting this before watching -
    The other songs must have been absolutely awful if that dire dirge from Samantha Janus won this.
    After watching the songs. I was shocked to find that most of them were actually better than what we actually sent to Italy. The British public got it wrong again.
    Song 1 was OK, but he was out of tune most of the way through it.
    Song 2 was boring and the only song that wasn’t better than Samantha Janus, we would never have won with that Robert Palmer wannabe.
    Song 3 - I still can’t believe this won.
    Song 4 - A decent song and my favourite so far, but she looked in pain singing it.
    Song 5 very traditional type of song and he looks and sounds a lot like Vince Hill, but he was reaching a bit too far for some of those notes, the feedback through the mic didn’t help.
    Song 6 - OMG, those dance moves were cringe, the trumpet fanfares were a nice touch though in this fair song.
    Song 7 - The song that should have won, and should have won by a country mile. Delivered brilliantly, she struggled in the lower register though.
    Song 8 - I dug this one, but not very Eurovision and would have sank like a stone in Italy.
    Lesson to be learned, don’t let the public decide anything…ever.

      song 4 - thats my girlfriend (now wife) and you're right. she had a laser laproscopy for endometriosis the day before. woke up post-op, pulled out the drips, taped over the stitches, sunk a bottle of gin and hit the stage. Collapsed backstage afterwards, back to A&E etc...
