    WONDERFUL WONDERFUL, COPENHAGEN

    The Latvian one, on the other hand, was perfect. Everybody else dressed up in their finest to pass the scores to Denmark, and this guy decides to wear a two-sizes-too-large Latvian hockey jersey because reasons. I liked that a lot.

      France is still trying to make out that it's too cool for something so mediocre as eurovision. This might have been arguable 15 years ago, but nowadays television in France, like everywhere else, is infested with karaoke shows. I recently had to sit through the French version of The voice; let me assure you that French people are not above sitting through hours of unironic mediocrity.

          His reasoning was that it reinforces the stereotype that all gay men are feminine.
          By that logic, shouldn't he deride the very existence of feminine gay men, falling in the same reductionist mindset he seems to be denouncing?

          Or is he upset by the thought that the gay viewers who presumably voted for him/her did so in the assumption that (s)he was one of them?

            Pat: I have been thinking about this for a week.

            I have no fucking idea. Sorry. The person concerned had a well argued point. Hence my mentioning it here.

            Something to do with gay man /= drag queen or something.

              So, in summary, another Eurovision year passes with nothing to rival "Love Shine a Light".

                We are thankful for small mercies.

                (Why does everyone think that was a good song? It was a good SINGER, crap song. Alternative reality to Gina G. Fantastic song, craparama drama.)

                One assumes that EEG, you are talking about the UK?

                NO-ONE CARES IF WE WIN INCLUDING US.

                You want good songs? I am embarrassed to say this, but FUCK OFF, THAT ISN'T THE POINT.

                I return you to the arts. And apologies. I am in the middle of starting another topic, elsewhere, and am very angry about something else entirely. Sorry.

                    You know, there is something going on, and I can't let this thing go.

                    This is what it is. It was '97. It is magnificent. (It 'came' behind UK in the order of singing. Gina G: Eat your ass off.)

                    Stay with it. It is fun. BY ORDER!

                      watching this (before I've had my shreddies no less) was more than likely the gayest thing I'm going to do today

                        I am trying to work a thesis about geo-politics, and stuff, about Eurovision, and I have come to a conclusion:

                        The next UK Eurovision entry, should be the Scissor Sisters.

                        My work is done. (Oh no it fucking isn't. And with grammar and spelling, ook. But, other than throwing an Englebert, we lose. But In the last (10) years, no-one cared. And no-one cares.)

                                Now, imagine if Kylie had sang that, for the UK... Geo-politics. Christ, if the funding hadn't stopped, I could do a whole thesis on Brainstorm, and why that worked. (See 'Ex7, c9, p3' for details)

                                  The problem was, that 'WE' tried with Sonia. And even I like that one.

                                  But trying is not winning.

                                  You have to be ... willing to lose, to win.

                                    To this day, there are people who think that 'Better the devil you know' is a Sonia, song, as opposed to 'Never stop me from loving you', etc.

                                    Dont worry, I am paying for this, so that you do not have to.

                                        She was magnificent at Pride '91. She blew on stage, and everyone stopped tripping, because she has a magnificent mouth. Like Anjelina Jolie, sic, who knows?

                                        Back to reality.

                                        Could you imagine a States wide, song contest, with people who were a) didnt have problems, and b) not fucking mental? Oh and c) too many states, not enough Federation. Bite me.

                                        d) can you just IMAGINE a US song contest from the states? Dolly wins. Or, occasionally, some nigger like Andre 3000, or heysus, some guy from that good shit like N E R D, wins?

                                        Ah well. Cracker getting old now.

                                        My penny is on Teach-in. Or golden Earring.

                                        Aphex Twins are quite nice. And there is a computer game ... something about 'Firestarter'?

                                            Apologies for the use of the word 'dolly'.

                                            Sebastien Tellier must be pissed off.

                                              Apparently the Dutch entry nicked the melody from a singer songwriter who sent a demo to Ilse de Lange's production company a year ago.

                                              He has meshed the two songs together here (scroll down for the soundcloud thingy).

                                                No.

                                                Holland nicked the song, wholesale, from the Police.
