I like his songs from 1980, 1981, 1982, 1999 and yes, 2006.  :-[

But I hope that he will keep his promise and will just "get out of our lives ". :mosking:

Well, I'm not a big fan of Eurovision, and I don't know him, but this year song was good. :)

Well obviously the man is responsible for my all time favourite ESC song :heart: - but other than that absolute piece of perfection and a the song immediately before and after it I'm not a fan of many of these.

Ok, his songs are a bit too cliché, but the fact is that I like many of them, including this year's

I've said it before and I'll say it again...and you'll disagree again :) - but Theater really was a great performance.  Ein Bißchen Frieden stood out in quite a poor year - although I prefer the UK & Cyprus entries.

82 was an awful year and the two worse songs or almost made it to the top 2 (well i do dislike the dutch song more than the german one but i truly hate the israeli one).. my faves are the usual dk, belgium and spain there.. i don't like the cypriot boring song either!
