Both Wlad and Vit were on the show (from Kiev). They counted down the phone votes and indulged in some woeful pidgin English banter with the presenters.
Then Wlad was in the backstage area with the, er, 'talent', talking to last year's winner. He came across as remarkably camp, with a much higher voice than you'd expect. Even Wogan was nonplussed.
Wig Wam is a tribute to 80es glam rock, and its not the first time they participate in the song contest, its a normal band and they have existed for some years.
And it was the best song eventhough they looked the way the did.

Freiheit - You seem to forget... in many countries its not taken even vaguely seriously. Perhaps in Denmark, Croatia, Moldova.. and.. Serbia-Montenegro it is... but come on ... if the UK was serious about winning it do you think we'd enter 'Javine'...?

That was funny as. Big Wlad: "You know Ruslana, the Eurovision Song Contest is a lot like boxing."
Ruslana: "What, you mean if Lamon Brewster entered, you would get kicked to fornicate in five rounds?"
OK, I made the last bit up. But that was some very funny shit for anyone who missed it.

We dont take it seriously at all, we booed when we got points, we dont want to win it again.
Seemed Vitali was ok after having surgery though. That Eurovision just shows how music is in Europe are. Just a musical version of that show Euro trash on channel 4.
When Wladdy was backstage and doing the ridiculous interview where he held the horseshoes, the girl with him was pretending to punch him in the face. Good thing she didn't accidentally connect with any of those - would have smashed Wladdys glass jaw into a million pieces and left him out cold on the ground.
