Eurovision time again!
And as usual I'll be getting drunk and laughing at the ascerbic wit of Sir Terence of Wogan.
I can't help it - I love it. Even though I know the songs are dreadful and I'll want to fast forward them as soon as they start. Even though the short films that introduce each song (and are supposed to promote the host country) always try too hard, like they are an end of year project for art students. Even though the partisan voting drives me crazy. I'll still be there!
We won't be going anywhere near the Top 10 with ours - I didn't like any of the candidates this year so it's not my fault for not voting!
I like the Armenian entry Qele Qele. And on principal I'll support the Czech Republic on my colleague's behalf. My Aussie boss has an Irish mother and an Estonian father - two countries with the worst entrants this year. I look forward to her crowing over me when they both come higher than we do.
ETA - Ireland and Estonia crashed out in the semi-finals. I forgot to check as we qualify automatically every year.
Fingers crossed Russia doesn't win. Bleurgh. Pretty boy power ballad.
I secretly admire the Finns for being so crazy. No hope of a Lordi style victory imo, not quite crazy enough.
If you're interested you can view any of them on the
BBC Eurovision page. I didn't think it worth linking the YouTube clips for the amount of people that would actually click on them! Suffice to say I won't be entering any of them on the Good Music on YouTube thread.
