I've not heard their song - was it any good?
Also, was our song as bad as I hope it was to justify our terrible ranking? I only saw a bit when I went to get takeaway (they have a TV in the takeaway) - France, Turkey and the UK voting - so I didn't hear any of the music at all. If only I had a TV at uni...

I must admit I don´t know how I feel about posting here after DNA went away.

Nothing... it´s crap...
I only watched to see how Denmark faired, and I only watched parts of it... The whole thing would probably have given me spasms
