The Wiener Takes It All!!!

You have NO idea how happy this photo makes me! (©EBU)

It's four o'clock in the morning, and we've just got in after attending Conchita's winning press conference and I've basically been a big sobbing mess for the past four or so hours!!!

I'm FAR too excited and wound up to go to sleep -  I WANT TO CELEBRATE!!!

For me this contest was always about two very fabulous ladies, my lovely, lovely Sanna - who did Sweden proud with a fantastic third place tonight, and Ms Conchita Wurst - whom I have loved since she narrowly lost out in the Austrian pre-selection two years ago... and just as well she did, because she not only came back with a stronger and better performed song, but tonight she became the first Austrian to win the contest since the year I was born, 1966.  48 years is a bloody long time to wait for your second win at Eurovision!

Had The Netherlands, who finished second, won, they would have given their home nation their first win in 39 years!

It pays to hang around and keep trying!  *Please remember this Portugal - your time will come!

I might add some more thoughts tomorrow, once all of this has sunk in - but look back at my last post - the one about predictions... who did I tell was was going to win Eurovision 2014?

YAAAAAYYYY!  Go Conchita!  Fabby Fab Fab!!!  Best Eurovision winner for a VERY long time!

Oh, and PS, Conchita, Thanks for the £650 win at the bookies - £10 each way at 50/1 - ya beauty!!!

Semi 1 - Great result!!!

It wasn't just Jedward who were ecstatic with last night's Semi 1 results!  9 of the 10 I predicted got through, and the one I got wrong was Austria, with the fabulous Hungarian song going through instead (and that was one of my faves anyway). Apparently Romania had huge problems hearing their track in their in-ear monitors, so they were relieved to get through.  They drew to sing in 14th position. We got some interesting insider info via some delegations at the after party (which finished at 6am this morning!!!).  Apparently the Icelandic 12 didn't go to Denmark as expected, but to Cyprus!  Fab performance from Ivi, and I see this going Top 5 on Saturday. We also heard that the Cypriot 12 did not go to Cypriot singer Eleftheria, who is singing for Greece, but to Albania, and the amazing Rona, who delivered a fantastic performance which had the audience on it's feet. But it was Gorgeous Pasha from Moldova who had the best luck of the night

Well, I love all their sugar, and those nice blue cocktails that they were serving at the party they held last night at any rate. Here's the fab girlies from Serbia.  I just LOVE  Sara's smile (the one next to me). Me and Juha looking like a Finnish Comedy double-act!  With the lovely Jody and Monty!
