Obligatory Eurovision post.
Voted for Hungary - it was an actual song! *is still slightly stunned*
Ukraine was hysterical and I really liked Romania also (fun!). And I didn't hate the UK entry - I thought it was silly and daft and rather suitable for the occasion. (It had a gimmick. Those are important.)
Anyway... I have family to attend to, and there's the interval act - with Terry Wogan and his peerless commentary. ("I know - he [the designer] should be shot. But there you are!" *sporfle*)
ETA: Re. the ditzy, blonde idiot in the pink frock: "It almost makes you lose the will to live, doesn't it?"

ruuger - who is she? Whose idea was it to have her on the show? And is someone going to *hurt* her after the show?

Who knew you could use an according in techno music! And it was a disturbingly catchy song...

I've always found it a bit odd that so many of the Eurovision songs end up being in English, so it's fun to see one play up the multi-lingual aspect.

It was certainly a peppy song, sung by some excessively peppy people. And maybe you know for sure, since the video quality over on YouTube leaves something to be desired: Was that John Barrowman I spied in there for a brief second? It's toward the beginning of the song... the camera zips over to a view of the audience, I think, and there's a man adjusting his sitting position in a white chair of some sort, next to what appears to be a woman in a tiny top-hat.

OMG really? I'll have to check that out! John Barrowman and I-can't-remember-her-name-but-she-was-wearing-a-tiny-top-hat were presenting/commenting on the British finals!

Seeing that you're the third person I'm telling this, I'm guessing the joke didn't work that well outside Finland ;)

Ah - that does explain a lot. I sort of twigged that it was v. put on, but it just ain't funny enough, sadly... Anyway, it's Eurovision! ;)

actually I think it is just that you have been brainwashed by living in Britain too long - the winner was not actually all that big on gimick! And there is gimick and downright yeuch factor! It might have been a suitable gimick in the 1970s, I suppose....
Although personally I prefered the Bulgarians...and did that Bulgarian guy have wonderful arms! The girl was quite something too - I'd have been quite happy if I got both of them in my stocking from Father Christmas....although I have agreed, should such a fortuitous event occur, that I will pass the young lady on to

Heh. Although as Darcy said, at some point surely all the Eastern countries will come to understand that nobody is *supposed* to take it seriously... ;)
::tries to remember Bulgaria:: They were the ones on the drums, right?
