Eurovision


Wyrd Bid Ful Araed

Huh, didn't see Sweden winning it. Thought those grannies from Russia had it in the bag. Our own low score didn't amaze me though. Englebert Humperdinck was famous years ago, with little relevance today (compared to the well-known pop stars the other countries send) and he just isn't a showman. His act consisted of him standing there in the dark with two people waltzing. Look at what Turkey did with those elaborate cloaks that could be turned into a boat. You need some sort of look or gimmick to make you stand out, and we just can't realise that for some reason.

 

Hey, how many of my American readers know what I'm talking about without resorting to Google or Wikipedia, and how many think I'm spouting gibberish?

I just need to watch it online somewhere, since I don't watch television, and we wouldn't get it here anyway.

Despite being rather American, I absolutely love Eurovision. It's so very . . . flamboyant. I often find myself greatly disagreeing with the outcome, though. Haven't seen this year's submissions yet--have to do that tomorrow, I guess.

The problem is that even if we could come up with a decent act, no-one would vote for us. Europe isn't fond of us English

Yes, its the entries that don't take themselves so seriously that I love. Moldova, Turkey, anything with a bit of flair. I really didn't like the Albanian entry, just a woman shouting at us for a minute or so

True. While its not all political, a lot of it clearly is or Greece and Cyprus probably wouldn't have awarded each other 12 points. We need to get us some more trading partners
