ESC wrap up

In the words of the song this is the 'calm after the storm'

This is the time of year many an ESC fan gets struck down with a condition worse than any case of Man Flu - PED (Post Eurovision Depression) but never fear, Eurovision is never too far away... The deadline for songs being too early for the 2016 contest is only round the corner (September) and preparations are already in place for Junior Eurovision being held in Bulgaria in November.

Firstly I discuss the 'palaver' regarding the voting - I am a bit one sided on this argument as I was not a fan of the Italian entry!!! Many felt that the split voting results showed that the televoters and jury did not quite see eye to eye. What can be done to make  it more level - or is  the fact that they are not the same a great leveller? I think of ways  round the problem and resurrect my jury idea based on ski jumping.

Then I look at how smoothly the show ran this year, how the hosts fared, what the staging was like and of course my opinion on the booing. Finally I take a glimpse into my crystal ball and wonder what Sweden might have in store for us next year.
