Nice song in a Radio 2 sort of way.

Is there any point?

So was Engelbert Humperdinck's. But rubbish. I can wait to here this on the way home.

That's nothing - Tony Iommi has written the Armenian entry! :o

Tony's way too old at 65. Bonnie's only 61.

At least I'm honest enough to admit I watch it. :P

Bonnie Tyler, eh. Another cutting edge entry from the UK. -_-

Her last hit record was when, exactly... about 1983 wasn't it? Ah, 1983, even I was young back then.

Ms Tyler's effort is competent, but incredibly dull. Never mind, we can all put our UKIP rosettes on and blame finishing bottom again on all the pesky furriners hating on us, even though no one in the UK has bought a Bonnie Tyler record for thirty years either.

Bit harsh that John. I'm pretty sure that 'Holding out for a hero' was a hit in 1985, so that's a mere 28 years. B)

Plus, trivia fans, she did the original version of 'Simply the Best' in about 1988, a year before Tina Turner and that may have charted in the top 75, which brings it down to an 'almost last week' total of 25 years.

Whoever shot that video deserves a Bafta.

Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Barbra Streissand, Bonnie Raitt and a load of other sixty-somethings will be asking for his/her number.

I look forward to the day when Eurovision ends up on the obituary thread.

I didn't know that]
Didn't she sort of "do" a Tina Turner at a RL event in the 80's/90's?

I finally took the chance.

Awful.

It sounds like something Shania Twain rejected for an album fifteen years ago.

Number 1 in Belgium this century


Slightly ambiguous description.

Europe is buzzing about this, though. Oh yes.
Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.
