Oh, and a month has gone by already since I last posted. Why am I so bad at keeping up with things?
Not much to report in the Eurovision world, we start to get the beginning of song searches next month though. Truly fantastic news on the voting front, though:
Media outlets across Europe reported on the re-introduction of national juries in the Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. On Sunday, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that a mix between televoting and national jury votes will determine the outcome of the Final in 2009.
Hurrah! I predict good things with this. I think we were heading in the right direction with the semi-final changes this year, and this is definitely going to improve the finals and the voting procedure. Excellent.
I probably shouldn't be up now, yes. I'll be a good uni student and head off to bed now. I'm just going to leave the post with an entry from MF in 2006, probably the best overall sounding song that year (for me), shame the live performance was atrocious (hence posting the music video)
