    It's quite promising for eurovision's future the Portugal's entry won. Perhaps it will go back to being an actual song contest rather than being kitch heavy.

    The miracles of Fatima started 100 years ago today. I've heard people saying these are linked.

    Reminds me a bit of Johnny Cash's version of 'Legend In My Own Time' mixed with 'Merry Christmas to you'

    They won because they look carefree with no special effects or dancing monkeys .

    Can't help but feel this will encourage Ireland to continue sending boring charismaless losers rather than cop the **** on and have a dancing robotic cow on stage.
