Europeans: Since none of you voted for poor Englebert in Eurovision would you all stay at home now?
and stop coming here as you hate us so much.
I mean, fancy going all the way Ajerbyzan (or what ever it's called) at 76 years old and then only 3 countries vote for you.
I'm going to Estonia for my next holiday - at least they gave us a few votes!
Thank you Vera. Although Englebert did go to Germany before the contest trying to pass himself off as an ex-Nazi in the hope of securing a few votes from the Rhineland - to no avail. He should have marched on Poland to clinch the deal then but at 76 the flesh is weak even if the spirit is willing.
I think even if we resurrected John Lennon and George Harrison, reformed the Beatles - had a Lennon and McCartney collaboration with the Mozart to write the song we'd STILL get nul points.
They'll change their tune soon enough when the Balkans all start falling out with each other and we have to send the boys in.

you are funny, Fanny. I know you have a sense of humor, otherwise you would not have chosen ''Glasscock as your user name''nobody hates you. I used to watch the Eurovision song contest when I lived in Europe I knew Engelbert Humperdink would sing for Great Britain. He used to be good looking about 30 or 40 years ago. I don't know if he was ever very famous, but we in Germany knew of him.
I was born in Germany, lived there and went to school there, married an Englishman, moved to the Netherlands for 7 years. Have been living in Canada since the summer of 2000, so I have not been watching the Eurovision song contest for the past 12 years...
It's always been political about the voting.The countries who want keep a peaceful relationship with one another vote for each other, but of course it's also about talent...Germany only won it twice and I thought nothing of the last time they won some years ago. 1982 with Nicole that was ok...and it was ''a little peace'' she sang it in German, English, French and Dutch and that was a song for which Germany deserved to win. Most other times they just were not good. Ireland used to win often and Sweden many times. All the way to Azerbayjan...and we probably both spell it wrong. I say hopefully someone with talent won. I only know a girl from Sweden won it...Abba won the 1970's and became really big stars after winning the Eurovision song contest with ''Waterloo'' and in 1988 Celine Dion the French-Canadian who was then a fairly unknown 17 year old sang for Switzerland and she won and ever since then Celine Dion is a star. So make it in showbusiness by winning on the Eurovision song contest...I think nothing as big as Abba and Celine has happened...to become world famous...
This for you...England won in 1981 and Nicole (from North Germany) had to go to England and that was a time Germany deserved to win...because this song has meaning and she sang it so that everybody understood it...I was in language school still at that time but I used to watch every year from when Abba won to the year 1999 because in 2000 I was in Canada I could go to you tube and listen to the songs later but I have no way to watch the Eurovison contest...so I gave up on it..
