Lopez Blogs

As a celebration of my four years in blogland, I thought it would be appropriate to focus on the biggest annual event of the Europop fan's musical year and to stage my very own fantasy Eurovision Song Contest, featuring a final line-up of my favourite songs from 25 countries. I even carried out a draw so that it would be a fair running order, but the best thing of all is that, in the words of Nick Borgen, 'we are all the winners' and there is no overall winner! It's just a bit of fun, and not to be taken too seriously, but just enjoy the music :)))
