Eurovision

[louiselux]

The Swiss entry for the Eurovision semifinals is called 'Vampires are alive' by a band called DJ BoBo. It must be the cheesiest thing I have ever seen. Sorry Switzerland, but what were you thinking? Apparently it is a favourite to win! Amazing. My favourites so far have been Bulgaria (drumming, chain mail, lavish use of quarter tones) and Serbia (KD Lang-alike surrounded by leggy models). Oh, and Georgia was impressive too. There is a lot of leather clothing being worn generally.

Also, randomly, I had to buy some emergency tights from Boots today, because I got a ladder. On the packet it said they were imbued with the property of 'light shaping'.

Guildo Horn.... oh dear. I do wish you luck, although I'm not entirely hopeful for any of us. The British entry is embarrassingly awful, and they wear little pink hats to boot!

Oh dear. The British entry was *amazing* in its utter badness. What were they thinking? Can they have been serious? Can they have been joking? Waaaah!

Overall, I liked Bulgaria best - the show was awesome! - but I'm good with Serbia winning... good song, amazing singer.

But I also thought France deserved more votes! I thought their bizarre pink gay designer mockery was far nicer than the bizarre silver travesty show the Ukraine had so much success with. But maybe I was just charmed by the stuffed animal the singer wore on his shoulder, and the way he looked so fetchingly melodramatic running around the stage with his hand stretched beseechingly towards the camera. :-)
