So I hear we’re not in the Eurovision this year & Johnny Logan was on Ray D’arcy singing the wonderful classic “Hold Me Now” live for our listening pleasure on Today FM this morning. Got me thinking. Is it the best Eurovision song of all time? I know they had a contest purely to decide this in 2005 where “Hold Me Now” came 3rd (“Waterloo” getting 1st). Love it or hate it, most people have a soft spot for it. 

Niamh Kavanagh’s winning performance of “In Your Eyes” in 1993 is my favourite Eurovision song of all time. It’s got everything – great lyric, builds to the chorus & middle 8, brass, strings, sparkles, the works. I am guilty of screaming this at my long-suffering hairbrush on occassion, it’s just awesome. 

So what’s your favourite Eurovision song? Your guilty Eurovision pleasure? Cast your votes please & yes, you can vote for your own country if you so wish

Update: The darling lovely Jen reminded me of this most awesome entry that we both fell in love with and voted for in 2007. I give you the brilliant Verka Serduchka with Dancing Lasha Tumbai. Robbed of a win.
