Ahh Eurovision, you are over for another year. Thanks go to Ireland and Malta, who saved us from the embarassment of no points again!  Serbia won- the voting was ridiculously blocked AGAIN this year but Serbia were very good. Though I admit I voted for Sweden with their ridiculous swirly floor and 'metallic chest hair'. Terry Wogan was spectacularly on form again. Seriously, sarcastic cynicism for the win. 
Adrienne watched it with me and we ordered pizza while laughing at the Romanian entry. They were in the top ten  but they sucked really, really hard. We also sucked, but at least we had amusing innuendoes and air stewardes impressions.

Wha...WHAT?

I have no inkling what this "Eurovision" is but it sounds reminiscent of American Idol, and therefore makes me gag.

METALLIC CHEST HAIR?!?!

Eurovision is when all the countries in Europe have a sing-off and then vote. Every country votes for their neighbours and the songs are all obscure and by terrible bands.
You can watch the clip of sweden on youtube. You should watch it- it is hilarious.

*is embarassed* Heh, I'll just say I'm Belgian so I won't have to associate myself with any of the countries involved. Yep, that works.

I didn't like the Serbs that much. I totally think Ukraine should have won. Just because they were weird.

And UK didn't look that bad this year. Sucks that the voting is so biased.

Unfortunately I can't distance myself from it *sigh*
Ukraine were so camp it was unreal. They were so sparkly I thought my tv was going to implode.
The serbs were okay even though I had no idea what they were singing about. We were just cheesy as usual- at least we didn't come very last. Poor Ireland.
