    Fair enough, I just don't think that he's that funny but it's a matter of opinion I guess.
    Also, I do think that plenty of comedians could handle this show.

    Wouldn't have Australia in my top 3 of songs so far - Italy no 1, perhaps I'm still in a Eurovision time warp from the 70's , when songs were melodic and singers could actually sing rather than depending on gimmicky staging ?
