eurovision note

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i: armenia for the win
ii: norton NOT AT ALL AS BAD AS WOGAN hurrah (in fact fine given i hate him; and given he was doing a total "wogan script")
iii: ukraine = is this the hardcore continuum i heard so much about? the whacky moscow camerawork was (i assume) putin-ordered sabotage
iv: utterly baffled by the unanimous runawayness of norway
v: brit song also did better than should have but it was a slow year really
vi: new voting system good for professional craft earnestness; will deliver pbs-ification of eurovision
vii: eurovision-as-carmodian-space news... i thought very little, except maybe continued rise of small, under-regarded nations (armenia, moldova) (were they even in any previous final? moldova is the smallest and poorest country in europe, i believe, and just returned an actual old-skool communism-for-communists party to govt by free and fair election)

Daz' naughty schoolgirls = UK folk costume!

The UK entry is the only one whose chorus I can remember today. That doesn't stop it being bad, but ALW knows what he's doing.

I can't remember it at all - I am obviously ALW-proof. But TBH I can't remember any of them, but then I am feeling a bit groggy all told.

also it would take a truly mighty chorus to dislodge Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes from my cranium.
