So the pop-up service BBC Radio 2 Eurovision that ran last year will return in May! It'll be available to listen to from midday each day from Thursday 21st through to Sunday 24th May. I thoroughly enjoyed a lot of the programmers that were broadcast last year so I can't wait for this year!
As part of the festivities, Ken Bruce will host a countdown of the nation's top 40 favourite Eurovision winners *.* You can vote http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1N5gKJp2mkZFGgWqj4yXSsj/what-is-your-all-time-favourite-eurovision-winner until midday Monday 20th April!
I voted for 'My Number One'. I feel it needed my vote more than any of my other favourites.
This was really good for getting me hyped up last year so hoping for more of the same.
Also used the 'vote for what needs support most' and plumped for Un Jour, Un Enfant
I voted for........ "Hold Me Now" Johnny Logan. I love it!
Loreen..... obviously.
Nicole or Dana for me...
I voted for Lena
well I obviously voted for Loreen. Do we know when this top 40 thing is happening then? Would be a good idea to have a discussion thread for it~ I'll probably listen if it's not during school
I chucked Lordi a vote. <3 I mean, hopefully they won't be needing it but they need to do as well as possible.
I have also voted for Lena!
I also decided not to vote for the actual best one (Abba of course) and go instead for a forgotten gem. Gigliola Cinquetti
This is RADIO 2 GUYS. Loreen will not be the clear runaway winner she should be! SHE NEEDS YOUR VOTES MOST. (I honestly don't even know if she'll be top 20!)
Vote Loreen <3
I'll have you know Radio 2 listeners aren't just Margaret and Fred sucking Werthers listening to Terry Wogan on a Sunday morning!
Voted for Ruslana, a close call but she's just such an icon in my eyes.
So glad that my last exam this year is on the Tuesday of Eurovision week, will have this on at an annoyingly loud volume around my house!
You can download the full schedule for the 4 day service http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/eurovision-2014/eurovision_schedule_2015.pdf
Especially looking forward to the top 40 countdown of the winning songs, Paddy O'Connell's interview with Conchita and the Ultimate Abba Chart!

Shocked that Helena beat ABBA!! But a flawless top 3 all things considered, probably the same as my top 3.
some shock results! I assumed waterloo would win so voted for Gigliola Cinquetti. I guess a lot of actual Abba lovers did the same, cos we all know waterloo is the most popular eurovision record worldwide...
LOREEN :cheeseblock: YESSS. Although I'm surprised that Dima is so high with such a mediocre song!
Very happy about Johnny Logan. Number 16. My favourite old school Eurovision song. Alexander Rybak best song this century!
