[edit] 2007 Controversy

Perhaps it is worth mentioning that Wogan said "Cyndi" whilst Fearne said "Scooch" as they declared the result?

[edit] Cyndi Celebrating

Watching the recording (yup, I'm that sad), there's no visible evidence that Cyndi celebrated in Making your mind up. She was next to Ferne Cotton and would have heard both names at a similar volume. Scooch were next to Wogan and accepted defeat. 82.69.90.226 17:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Making Your Mind Up A More Successful Format?

"Making Your Mind Up has provided an interesting and more successful format than had been in place when the relatively poor results of the early 2000s occurred". That's surely highly debatable. 16th, 19th and two 22nds is hardly more successful than 2000-2002?

[edit] Corrections

I removed the line about MYMU being 'an interesting and more successful format' as it is PoV, not to mention incorrect (the UK continues to fare badly). I removed reference to Belle & the Devotions being booed in Luxemburg because of miming. As the O'Connor book referenced elsewhere in the article confirms the booing was connected to the behaviour of English football hooligans in the city several months before the contest 172.142.73.206 (talk) 01:33, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Winnners

I was wondering if we really need this list as there's one almost identical to it in the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest article. If anyone thinks it's really needed here as well, I'll convert it to a table (something I truely think it needs anyway). If replacing it with a link to the other table will suffice, there's obviously no point. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 00:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Why is this article called Eurovision - Your Decision when it is refereed to as Eurovision: Your Decision in the article itself and at [1] and [2]? I personally think a rename is appropriate. Camaron | Chris (talk) 13:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

It was originally named Eurovision: Your Decision, the user who moved it to this article justified the move saying that was the true name of the show. [3] Another change was then made to the redirected article so administrator intervention is now needed to fix this problem. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 15:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

A search reveals that there is a bit of a divide on the internet on which name to use. ESC Today uses both names, while Eurovision.tv interestingly use Eurovision - Your Decision. However, the BBC call it Eurovision: Your Decision, and as it is a BBC TV show, I am quite sure it is better to use the BBC name as the article name. Therefore, I am going to move the article to Eurovision: Your Decision in a few days unless any objections are raised here - I am an admin so I can merge the page histories. Camaron | Chris (talk) 17:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, per above I have completed the move. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Picture

There is a jpg image on the page suggesting that it is the logo from the first A Song For Europe in 1957 - there is absolutely no way that this is true as the 1957 contest was known as the "Festival of British Popular Song" and not "A Song For Europe"
