Exactly, I used to hate it but then I saw the fun people get from it and its totally harmless, I have embraced it a little more now and watch and laugh at the utter ridiculousness of the songs and fans. I say keep it going.
Same. I also like to try and pick out a country that is huge odds that may make the top 4 for EW returns. My picks this year were Luxembourg, Norway, UK and Malta, all at prices north of 100/1. No luck this year. I was tempted with Estonia at 40/1 also but baulked.
It's always completely ridiculous but as the years go on, I find myself enjoying it more.
I was quite surprised at Israel nearly winning it. But at the same time pleased people are judging on the quality of the song, over anything else.
