why is the UK hosting it again?

I dunno. But I hope it changes location after this year! Dublin, maybe? :kink:

At the start, we agreed to host it for two years I think. ^_^ After this year though the winning country will be hosting, like in the normal ESC.

Oooh :naughty:

 

I hope the presenters are more Eurovision-y this year. I love Graham Norton, but he isn't for Eurovision! :lol:

 

 

Who should represent the UK at this then? Brendan Cole and Camilla Dellerup flopped...maybe Alesha Dixon? :o

Alesha Dixon is the favourite to go forward currently, along with her dance partner on SCD. ^_^ And I hope Norton doesn't present. Hideous man.

George Sampson should represent us. :lol: :o

Alesha Dixon and Melanie B? :wub:

Norton scares me :cry:

I hope it's Alesha, she'd be fantastic! :D

Apparently Germany and Switzerland are withdrawing and Azerbaijan are taking part...

Original post updated. I just saw this too:

 

Azerbaijan and Greece have announced professional dance couples as their representatives at Eurovision Dance Contest 2008. According to the regulations of the contest, professional couples are not allowed to take part in the competition. No explanation on admission of these couples has been given by organizers of the event.

 

Typical. :rolleyes:

Running order:

1. Sweden
2. Austria
3. Denmark
4. Azerbaijan
5. Ireland
6. Finland
7. Netherlands
8. Lithuania
9. United Kingdom
10. Russia
11. Greece
12. Portugal
13. Poland
14. Ukraine
15. Spain

Spain to win then? :( Not bad for the UK I suppose... let's hope we can do alright this time! :D

Ukraine to win hopefully after last year's fantastic performance...Sweden are royally screwed :(

I hope we win. I think I prefer this to the song contest. It's nice and small. ^_^

Russia have confirmed Tatiana Navka & Alexander Litvinenko to represent them. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he the one who got radiation poisoning back in 2006?!

^ He's dead David, So I doubt it's him. :D

I know. :( Still coincidental they have the same name though! :lol:

OH DAVID.

 

There's more than one David Hobbs, just like there's more than one Alex Litvinenko :(
