I agree with you on Portugal but disagree about music in general; some years Eurovision is dire without a decent song or hit in the contest. Other times (this year) there are several. Loreen's winner a few years ago was a terrific dance track. It varies and one type of music is no "better" than any other.

"Amar Pelos Dois" by Portugal certainly hit the spot in about 10 seconds for me. I think it's the best Euro winner of all time. It was nice to hear such a melodic sentimental song, done in the style of the great American classics a la Cole Porter, Bernstein, etc. It was a breath of fresh air contrasted with the generic Euro electro dance pop drivel that blights the contest...

How many points did we get...not that I really care that much ?

Is Mr Norton a racist ?
Three white men...next time Mobo is on I wonder if we can say three black men ?
I was delighted that all seven picks made the top 7 - only the UK failed (a grower not an instant and I think a mistake not using the 7th Heaven mix in the contest).
