nice review, i had it on in the background while "studying". my highlights of the evening, apart from terry wogan, were the turkish skat band. did anyone who watched it notice that the only english that this guy really new, outside of the lyrics he had sang, were "peace, love and unity!!". he shouted his slogan at the end of the song and again when asked to say a few words in a backstage interview.
about the german entry tho, i have my suspicions that it was a bit of a piss-take. the guy who wrote the song, also in the backing group of musicians, was a guy called stephan raab, he's a comedian/tv presenter in germany and he entered eurovision a couple of years back with a song called "wadde, hadde, dudde- da" everyone should download it, its one of the best eurovision songs ever, its a disco song with ridiculous german rapping in the verses. i looked up a translation of the lyrics and they are hilarious. my thoughts that it was a joke entry where heightened when i saw that during the song he had a few chuckles to himself at some of the warbling notes from the singer.
