I'm on a roll today!

I just checked my tag list, and realised that I have a Eurovision tag, yet I didn't say anything about this year.

Which is stupid because
1. We won
2. I actually know the guy.

Well, sort of. We were in the same amateur orchestra last year. So when I say I know him, it's more that he knows my name and approximately how good I am on the viola (passable for an amateur, if you're wondering).

I've read comments that it's a good thing we won because Norway can actually afford to hold it next year.

That song is ridiculously easy to get on your brain, by the way.

Greece scared the crap out of me, and Turkey's scene show should've been rated 18+. Those are the ones that I remember.

The winning song for those who haven't heard it. I MUST SPREAD THE EARWORM!

Late spring's most horrifying fairytale...

Yes, I'm talking about the Eurovision Song Contest.

Norway didn't reach the final. Given that I loathe that song, I'm glad. However, looking at the ones who did go on from the semi-finals, I have to wonder how much of it is the song, and how much is neighbourly relations and old political lines.

Because really. Most of those countries were from the Eastern Bloc. And the tenth was Turkey.
