It's just occurred to me that Luxembourg's entry this year could be an indirect homage to Sandie Shaw's 1967 hit - I know that Luxembourg had a song in the contest with a similar French-language title during the years when they were taking part and winning it - late 1960s and early 1970s-ish.

From what I have seen on YouTube, Austria seems to be tipped to win the contest this year - Luxembourg, Ireland and Austria are all in the second semi-final, and so if Luxembourg or Ireland doesn't get through, then I might go with Austria as well.Last edited by George 1978; 09-04-2025, 01:47.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Well I have not read such info but I don't put much by the Euros these days as most songs sound similar too, so they chance of a Winner is removed that way I feelOriginally posted by George 1978 View Post
As well too if you think about it, it's always an outsider like putting Barnet or Eastleigh from the National League in the Premier and them somehow winning it!Comment

I will be so upset if Luxembourg doesn't get into the final this year - Laura is someone who I wouldn't mind falling in love with...
I also hope that there will be an English translation of that song as well.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Watched the whole lot - all 250 minutes of it! I was glad that Luxembourg made it to the final and was in second position in the show which meant not long to wait. I believe that we could have got over 100 points on jury points alone. No televotes? Come on! We did have a reasonable amount of points - had it had been pre-2000. I was optimistic that we would be in three-digit-land. It was like waiting for a bus - nothing from the first few countries and a flurry of a few points from three or four countries and then it went low-key on us. Italy gave us 12 points, and the "spokesperson" was a mouse? I won't use the phrase "take the mickey..."
Interesting that viewers could even televote during the songs - I assume that this is the first year it has happened? It does take the load off so many people phoning in their choice. Yes, I voted for Luxembourg when Laura Thorn was actually on screen, and I believe that a lot of viewers literally did that when the act of their choice was singing on screen. Great to get it over and done with so early on. I hope it is like this next year as well. Thanks to Remember Monday - a great performance. Strong on screen and strong in talent. I hope that this will give promotion to their group and that we will see and hear more of them post-Eurovision. I thought of Colin Berry when Sophie Ellis-Bextor did the honours - I would have liked Norton to have mentioned Berry in his commentary.
Congratulations to Austria and JJ - I knew that they were going to win.
