Right here we go eyes down for a long night of musical mayhem! Yes its finally here, The 2007 Eurovision Song Contest from Helsinki, I have just had a look at the odds, and Ukraine's Verka Serduchka with the song Danzing Lasha Tumbai is the 7-2 favourite, now I did say in a post a month ago that I thought Ukraine could nick it if we were not too careful!!! Now let me tell you about Verka Serduchka.... his real name is Andriy Danylko and he is one of Ukraines top comedians, In Ukraine there has been a storm of protest over the song and the fact that Andriy is dressed as a middle aged woman makes it a sight worth seeing!! Great Fun, Thing is its a poop song but just a little catchy.

Scooch are 4-1 to finish last, which will please Dave Williams, who has been forced to play the song due to a freakish amount of requests during his show....not sure how that happened. I dont think that Scooch will win, my personal favourite is Sweden's The Ark and their very 70s sounding The Worrying Kind, again its extremely catchy and the lead singer who, I suspect is a good friend of Dorothy and may even write with a green pen, has great stage presence.

The Semi Finals were held Thursday and one of the hot tips to progress Switzerland failed to qualify for the big final as did Denmark's Drama Queen! crying shame that, the mascara will be running in Copenhagen over this... Israels Teacakes failed to get through as well, not a big surprise there then!

Catch the show on www.brfm.net 4-7pm our first guest is Jahn Teigen, live from Sweden, Spoke to him about an hour ago, and the interview promises to be very interesting, this man is a bit of a character, after 5 we have Nicky Stevens from Brotherhood of Man, she is very friendly and its a good interview! After 6 we will be playing some of the finalists for 2007. There is a couple of quiz's as well, guess the country and guess the year, Bertie and I are really looking forward to the show and it promises to be different!! We finish at 7 which gives me enough time to hurry up to my Eurovision Engagement in South London , which will include a couple of costume changes!
So tune in and enjoy the show, email us any Eurovision requests during the show and we will try and dig the blighters out and play em.
Yours in Eurofever
