'Volar La Bandera' or is it 'Fliegen der Markierungsfahne'

Afternoon all.

You may hear this post's title words being spoken in Helsinki; or even being sung. Scooch have written five language versions of 'flying the flag (for you)'. So from now on straighteurovision are going to only refer to scooch's entry as 'battre le pavillon'...hmm batter the pavillion??!?!?! Only after a few drinks maybe! :-) BTW all translations courtesy of google's translation online, so if its a load of rubbish im not taking responsibility.

Karolina has clearly behaved like a diva for the second occasion and demanded that she sings her eurovision entry entirely in english. Following their original refusal MKT finally agreed but only for a half macedonian, half english version. Agreed. Only the EBU refused...Poor girl; never seems to get a break!

Hungarian entrant Magdi is in trouble with the eurovision bosses; she apparantly performed part of her song during her IDOLS audition in early 2006......I know what your thinking.....they still put her through!!!! Bless her heart...can't see the ebu DQing her. In fact very few songs seem to get DQed nowadays as im sure the big bosses cant really be arsed with it all...its supposed to be a song contest not a bureacracy contest anyway...

Dont forget to keep up-to-date with the stage design on www.eurovisiondiary.com. They have put up the rigging so far by the looks of it. The Hartwall arena looks very similar to last years in Athens...Ooooh sooo exciting!
