Normally my televisual highlight of an evening would definitely be a Neil Gaiman-scripted Doctor Who episode. And it still probably will be. Even if they bring the Rani back tonight as rumoured.
However it'll be the warm-up act to Eurovision and, well, this looks like a vintage year.
Not for pointing and laughing (Jedward aside, few of the krazies have reached the final).
As has been the trend, there are a fair few credible efforts.
The Italian jazz piano entry is an excellent example of the genre.
Me fears though the classy vote will be split between that and the French tenor.
Georgia, Denmark and Moldova (once you get over the millinery) are all good altie efforts. They may not place highly but show that the competition isn't the camp festival of yore.
EU politics will probably rule out Germany (also Lina's song will be a difficult sell in the more religious nations).
Blue have been getting ominously big cheers on the floor. The song is just OK but I think their popularity will get the UK top 5.
My gut says that, unless Azerbaijan put on a better performance than they did in the semi, it will be a straight fight between Sweden's decidedly camp entry and Estonia's mix of Broadway-esque visual feast and catchy tune.
