Eurovision
Oh gawd, The UK has selected another novelty song....
Oh well, I can always help the wife cheer for Spain instead. What has your country chosen for Eurovision this year? |

Please, not the talentless hacks dressed as cabin crew!
Once again our country will be shamed.

What song did the UK choose? You hear next to nothing about this contest here in the US.

Actually, we had a pretty good singer this time. A german Jazz musician. He sings everything in German too: Roger Cicero. I am *so* glad they didn't choose those stupid "Monrose" (okay, they're not that bad, considering they were cast. But I much prefer Roger Cicero. Much more original). -

Hrrg.. Norway is competing with a salsa - Latin rip-off song ("Ven a bailar conmigo").
Famous artist here in Norway, lots of flashy backgrounds, feminine male dancers with bare chests, short dresses, and a change of dress behind big feathers.. Heard it before? Edit: You can hear it here: http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/221749 And see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX9Q64Dnf1E

Hee what. I don't know who votes for this stuff. :~
I was hoping for everyone to be jumping on the "novelty monster metal" bandwagon, but no such luck. Never mind - they'll see. THEY'LL SEE. |
