BBC Talking Point vs Eurovision

Lordi, Lordi, Lordi. What an act. A proper band playng proper instruments.

And kudos the the Germans. Country and Western.

The rest were just sining to backing tracks and classical session musicians.

The first time I have 'watched' the show for about 15 years all thanks to Lordi.

No true poptimist believes in the concept of "true poptimists".

haha I shall try and parse that sentence for the rest of today

I will confess to being whay mike t-diva calls a 'Eurovision purist'. Here's the last of his recent Slate pieces on the contest. (http://www.slate.com/id/2141944/entry/2142205/) Note the last bit, where he reports on the possibility of the contest "going global". Eek.
