Another painful Eurovision behind us - where it ought to be. I suppose secretly we do all like the program but this year we actually had a reason to watch. due to a change in the voting system those ungrateful eastern countries couldn't just vote for there commie mates, apparently every country had an "Expert" (a term loosely used i am sure) Judging panel. the panel would vote on performance and not who they are scared will invade them. with this taken in to account conceivably we could have won no? no.
think about it. if all the lithuanians vote for Russia because they want to get a steady supply of oil for the next twelve months its reasonable to assume that the "Expert" Judges will think that twelve months of oil will be a good idea too. maybe thats a bit cynical but i just cant see what constitutes a singing expert in lithuania...
still this year had it moments, the guitarist for Portugal's ludicrous entry looks like he might still have Madeline locked in his basement (I went there) and we got national treasure Andrew Lloyd-webber actually playing the piano for our entry - shortly before he put his cape back on wrote "the phantom was here" in blood on the plasma screens and disappeared into the catacombs beneath the stadium. (the last bit may have taken some artistic license for a more exciting reader experience)
in the end though Norway won and i am so annoyed about this I'm not even going to comment... OK i will comment - he was crap and he looked like Zak Effron and his song was shit and he looked about twelve and... and... and how could we loose! we had Andrew Lloyd-Webber!!!
Europe had its chance to vote fair and they blew it - ready the missiles! our entry next year is going to be a depleted uranium shell, lets see them give us "nil poia" when we split an atom over them.
although we didn't do that bad really - fifth :)
