Saturday night saw a big battle commence on our TV screens, on BBC1, you had Eurovision 2009, while on ITV, you had Britain’s Got Talent. It was up to the viewers to make their choice, and it was BGT that won on the night.
The Guardian reports that Britain’s Got Talent managed to pull in 9.8 million viewers or 41 percent of the share between 8.20pm and 9.20pm. The Eurovision Song Contest managed to average 7.8 million viewers, which was a 35% share between 8pm and 11.15pm.
Although it was lower than Britain’s Got Talent, it was the first time that Eurovision had pulled in that many viewers, something that has to do with Graham Norton taking over from Terry Wogan. Viewers did peak to 9.8 million; this was for the final 15 minutes of the contest.

i love you all why did amand have to live whild at hart whish you were still on it xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jade Ewan, 21 year old British singer and actress had the best vocal and by finishing 5th Jade became the highest place UK Eurovision Act since 2002.
BGT……Great variety, hilarious at times, cringe full at other times. From auditions that include delusional people who have no talent at all to auditions that take your breath away.
Compulsive viewing that often reduces you to tears of emotions sometimes and tears of laughter other times. Brilliant TV
Eurovision…….. Still tactical voting taking place, clear alliances withe regional countries. Cheesy production.. I would rather have large pins stuck in me slowly that watch it
