Russia??

I’m a fan of the Eurovision Song Contest. There, I said it. I like Eurovision, for all its tacky, over-the-top flag-waving bad music – it’s really pretty good entertainment. Sure, there are some boring songs , but for all those, there are some absolutely fantastically bad ones, ones that are obviously taking the piss and ones that you’re really not quite sure what to make of them . Then, of course, there’s the turkey , and the less said of that, the better.

Usually, someone that’s a bit deserving wins. Two years ago, it was Lordi from Finland. They rocked, rocked hard, and most importantly, rocked interestingly and entertainingly. But what is this Russian winning song ? It’s garbage. It’s certainly not very good , but unfortunately, it’s not exactly very bad either, and that’s really what I have the biggest problem with. If I want to hear boring music, I’ll turn on a commercial radio station. This is Eurovison, for Wogan’s sake! The epitome of tacky! I watch it to be entertained. I think I got up to clean the dinner dishes during the Russian performance. Snoozefest!
