Got to say it was really boring this year. Normally, as a family we've sat around boozed up and watched it fully loaded with postmodern irony. After all, it's meant to be camp, over the top and funny ... and half of the joy is in finding the year's most ill-conceived spectacle. But this year's was just beyond irony - dull power ballads and too-knowing attempts to camp it up. Wogan couldn't even be bothered to crack any jokes.

It was never about music, was it? But now, it's not even about entertainment.
