I watched the Eurovision song contest last night and absolutely loved it. I wanted JEdward to win. Blue did not do too badly, I thought they gave a good solid performance. Lets face it with all the political horseplay going on we were never going to win. All our European counterparts voting for their neighbours or a country they have had an altrication with. You have got to laugh at the scrupels of the contest. It is not about music, more for uniting Europe in a weird way. I was surprised that all the songs I saw were sung in English. For me it made it better to watch.
Next year I am going to have a Eurovision party where there will be lots of booze. I have decided it is better to embrace the singing (political) contest and celebrate it's tackiness. It is time we accepted it for what it is. The winners of the night I am sure will be JEdward, they will get some sort of advertising deal out of it. Anything, they do seems to turn to gold and I have to admit, I love'em, they are brilliantly entertaining, it does not matter that they can't sing!
I love it too. Some friends of ours host an annual party with food, drink, individual score cards and a white board to add up our votes in the room. Fantastic night.
ReplyDeleteI have the Jedward song stuck on repeat in my head. They seem to be the very epitome of Eurovision - a silly, trashy pop song that is "sung" with maximum energy and with tongue firmly in cheek!
