Review: Eurovision 2012
Ok, so this years Eurovision song contest isnt even half way through yet but the votes are in, this is a record as 15 acts still have yet to perform. This years winners are likely to have been act number 6 from Russia, basically they were 6 old ladies singing about having a party whilst they baked biscuits, or something. Crazy, but anything has to be better than the out of tune aural assault by act number 3, Albania. Ive rarely seen any act anywhere that could sing as badly as this, although UK's entry of some years ago "Gemini" spring to mind.
Anyway, in between all that there was the usual europop stuff that if you listen and close your eyes makes you think you are in a small bar in Corfu, or somewhere. Nothing to write home about really.
So, how did the home nations fare, well the United Kingdom came last with 4 points given to us by our neighbours Ireland who just pipped us by 75 points and came a respectable 4th. Despite having 2 crazed simpletons on their team. The rest of europe decided to ignore us for 3 hours but normal service will be resumed shortly when they become our friends again and want us to help them out of their own respective fiscal crisis.
And we will.
On a more positive note rumour has it the UK and Ireland will be joining forces next year in a bid to dominate and secure victory, Bono will be doing a duet with Alex Sotheran. Its a cover version of "Anything for my baby" by New York rockers Kiss.
Eurovision fact: The stage is as big as a football pitch but only a maximum of 6 people are allowed to perform. So its like a football match but with less idiots taking part.
Al Sithees' Big Generator . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Farewell my little star, we wish you well. What about love i hear you say, but this is the bottom line, its over, i dont love you anymore. We had 100 nights of fun and games but here, in my time of dying, in this house of broken love, lies a better man.
