However, as everyone has subsequently commented, it was a "welcome back" vote, nothing to do with the song...

Mind you, several acts sounded pretty distorted - as also happened in the semis, I believe - so probably heads will roll in the technical department...<br /><br />Jx<br /><br />PS My "Liza blouse" had its second outing on Saturday, and shed sequins everywhere.

Some things never change.<br /><br />The winning entry did score points from all over Europe, so I guess it was a pretty clear winner (and at least a better one then bloody Italy!). I really liked Sweden, as you know, and Spain was a delightful surprise on stage! Another fun surprise was of course Raffaella Carra, and Danny giving the votes for Sweden.<br /><br />I think Blue did pretty well, especially after the performance which wasnt as good as it should hav been (I blame the "strangled cat singer").<br /><br />Overall, a fun evening and am I already looking forward to next year! And BTW: I LOVE the Liza-like shirt you were wearing!Barbarella's Galaxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412715855179155079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492341927226769948.post-12170696804717052082011-05-15T21:34:00.615+00:002011-05-15T21:34:00.615+00:00Ah, "something borrowed, something blue"...Ah, "something borrowed, something blue" - the turban is in fact the treasured possession of the other half (aka Madame Arcati), who eschewed it for the evening in favour of the mantilla and fan... I'll let you know if it heads eBay-wards, but somehow I doubt it!
