I have been arguing about it for half an hour at work. :(

I thought Germany's effort was horrible. That whole rat pack re-creation thing gives me the creeps at the best of times and it was like they'd purposefully ratcheted up the creepiness even further. Plus the lyrics were horrendously misogynistic.

Germany's current strategy seems to be unexpected genre pastiches - viz the country one last time (which I liked a LOT) (this one wasn't so hot).

People apparently like the rat pack re-creation thing. We had a fake Frank Sinatra at the Aber May Ball and apparently people not only enjoyed it due to the £10 free beer tickets as a result of Jamelia not turning up but they were quite excited about the whole thing beforehand. :( Horror, horror, horror.

Ah but if you like the actual Ratpack (as I do!) then you will have higher expectations! I thought Germany shouldn't have bothered as a) dude didn't have good enough voice/charm combination b) song was rub and they should have boshed it up halfway through.
