TIme for another look around the web for some of the stories you might have missed in the world of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Turn Around, Bright Eyes…
The UK PR machine is pumping out the stories, admittedly to a UK audience, and now the UK Charts blog has caught up with Bonnie Tyler before she heads to Malmo.
“While I was in Nashville recording Rocks And Honey, I met up with Desmond Child who I’d worked with many years ago,” she explains. “So we went up for dinner at his house and he gave me some songs, and I really particularly loved Believe In Me and a track that’s on the album called Stubborn. But he said ‘But it isn’t finished Bonnie!’ So I said ‘I love this song, I’d love to record it.’ So he finished it at the dinner table, which is very, very unusual [laughs]. But that’s Desmond Child for you!”

So So Gay have taken a look at the odds on their favourite songs at this year’s Contests, throwing in their own opinions as well:

You’ll find the full details over on their site.
