So, Eurovision. Not sure if I'll be able to watch the whole show tomorrow, but I managed to catch both semi finales, so I've seen it all already, pretty much anyway. Overall it wasn't very exciting, loads eurotrash, loads of questionable wardrobe choices, loads of wind machines ... but quite a few countries had entries in their own languages, which is great, because everyone singing in English is boring.
So, favourites:
Russia: Grannies backing cookies. If you hate that, you have no soul. Fact.
Sweden: I don't know what that singer is dancing to, but it's not her own song. Naturally, I'm loving it.
Ireland: Jedward! Nuff said.
Albania: A singer who's trying to shatter glass with her singing ... performing in a venue called crystal arena ... this might become a lot more exciting than expected.
As for the home countries:
England: Now, that's the spirit of Eurovision, being deliberately trashy and ironic with your entry. This might become my favourite entry since the dancing easy Jet crew. (the stuff people put on youtube ... )
Germany: They are taking this thing way too seriously again. They found a cute boy who can actually sing and wrote him a cute little song. How boring is that?!
In related news: If you've considered investing in Facebook stocks - Ralph Siegel wrote a facebook song for San Marino (and didn't qualify for the finale, naturally). This is a very sure sign that Facebook is totally out and totally uncool and you should totally do something else with your money.
