Any accurate translation would be NSFW.

Were it not for Conchita of Austria winning, I wouldn't have thought of telling my husband this morning that it he doesn't shave in the next 2 days, he'll have to start wearing a dress.

You all need to realize that the only place where we Europeans' political votes count nowadays is at Eurovision. Conchita and Austria won as a protest vote by most of our countries against Russia which had asked Eurovision to ban transvestites from the contest, and on account of as some think Russia's influence upon Ukraine's separatists.

I watched it all last night in France for the first time since 1972 when I surreptitiously saw it on telly in England when it was still ONLY a joke. Why not know the evolution of trash? I can't believe the huge amount of money now spent to produce it. How and when did Israel get to become a contestant, I'd like to know!

They are part of the EBA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Broadcasting_Area

Morocco entered once but haven't entered again since 1980.

Russia's stance is a bit weird since a transvestite won it in 1998. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_International

Poland got it badly wrong though. Its the gay men who vote for Eurovision.

Never heard of Dana International? She is another man turned woman who won the Eurovision song festival, in 1998. (S)he is Israeli.

Eurovision is a travesty, it is for over a decade that it is not about music anymore. The quality went down rapidly when they introduced televoting in 1997.
