Vote for Finland

[darmstadt]

Well we voted for Finland and (I think( it was Lithuania (the We Won Eurovision song as it cracked me up.) But you can still see that most of the voting is political, sucks. Glad they won which might shake it up a bit.

The Lithuanian song was very cool. I wouldn't be surprised if they recycle it for the world cup somewhere.

It was really embarassing the way countries voted, especially with the giggling of the presenter where they were giving the 12 points, to the ... surprise... surprise.... neighboor country(with the exception of Spain/Portugal). It really makes you think how string is the cultural feelings towards the idea of Europe as every country sticks to his own history and political preferences. Russia, especially, managed to get a second place only thanks to their ex republics. However, I think the most original song won at the end thanks for grabbing some deserved points from all the countries.

It just goes to show that if a country enters a decent song - rather than the poncy fluffy excremental tulipe of Bucks Fizz etc - it will win. Surely there must be a rule against such unfair behaviour?

But Bucks Fizz won.

But Bucks Fizz won.

They did? Oh deary me. The world is a sicker place than I ever thought possible.

I think Richie Blackmore should sue because there was a Rainbow ?lick? used.

Being a keen follower of Eurovision (it’s so bad it’s good), 2006 was a vintage year. I always look for the most dodgy musical instrument, worst singer, odd-ball entry, the most pneumatic singer, and the most way-out/outré entry. So my awards this year are:

Dodgy instrument: Croatia (a plinky-plinky type thing of uncertain purpose)
Worst singer: France (she was off-key for the whole song)
Odd-ball entry: A tie: Spain and the country with the acapella-singing blokes + robot (Latvia?)
Pneumatic singer: Croatia (Crumbs! I bet the sex is awesome)
Way-out: Finland (of course)

I always assess the thumpability index of the male compere. It was very high this year.
