Eurovision
May. 26th, 2002 05:54 pmThe camp fest of the year, is over, ladies and gents. We wuz crap, but still considerably better than most of the rest... (which is why Britain normally ends up in the top six most years)
Looking at my notes I make every time I watch Eurovision so I can remember when I fight for call space during the 5 min voting time. These notes consist of :
a) type of song and whether it's any good
b) costume
c) whether or not there's a Bucks Fizz Moment (if you have no idea what this is, you obviously aren't educated. Or you're American and don't count.)
Latvia disgracefully rigged it by providing a reasonable song, dance routine in time, and not one but three Bucks Fizz Moments with a pretty, nicely shaped girl singing it. :sigh:
Slovenia wuz robbed. Robbed, I tell you. Not only did they have three drag queens in sparkly air hostess outfits with great makeup and a brilliant dance routine but the song was good, too.
Most of the voting was split between Latvia and Malta - Sweet, pretty girl, nice dress, nice song, generally agreed to be in at least the top five.
France provided a Celine Dion type, Croatia a rather good pop act in sexy sparkly black that wouldn't have looked out of place on TOTP, and Romania. You don't want to know about Romania, trust me. Oh, and Russia fielded what was possibly the ugliest boy band I've ever seen.
Utterly trippy travelogues and Terry Wogan going through the whisky and insulting everything. A good Eurovision, all in all.
