The dress rehearsal was excellent – you are going to have a very entertaining evening.\u00a0 There are very few *awful* songs tonight, and the host broadcaster NRK has done a stunning job on presenting the ESC this year – in a personal, and at times, quite touching way.\u00a0 I’m not going to spoil the surprises that await you.\u00a0 I don’t even know who is going to win.\u00a0 My heart belongs to Denmark, but my head can’t decide, so I’ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n

My nephew Luke has been learning the chorus of the French song in his class at school, so I know what he’ll be singng along to!\u00a0 All the teenage girls rushed to the front of the arena to see Lena do a great job for Germany.\u00a0 Perhaps the teenagers will decide the winner tonight?<\/p>\n

Anyway, off to get ready, and then cockails before the shuttle bus to the Arena.\u00a0 Enjoy, my Eurovision chums…<\/p>\n

BTW: Rachel Rolfe – we’ll do Eurovision back at my house next year, unless Denmark win.\u00a0 It just isn’t the same without my number one Eurovish buddy, so hope you enjoy the show from Cyprus tonight! I will miss you, as always.<\/p>\n
