Just a Few More Hours to Go... 

...and both my holiday and the Eurovision Song Contest will be under way!

I have Scooch's song spinning around in my head, but of course, it being the British entry this year, I have been more exposed to that song than any of the others. In fact, I had not heard the other songs until the semi-final. I have, however, been listening to all of them at least three times now and have some favourites, Hungary being the top one.

And how come this year's Italian entry comes from Latvia? Hmm...

Has anyone noticed that Italy and Monaco is no longer in the competition? It seems more Western European countries will pull out in the next few years because of the farcical turn the competition has taken; the Eastern European mafia seems to have taken hold even on Eurosong. I do, however, think that a lot of this year's entries are very good, so much better and much more exciting than last year, which was a major disappointment all around.

And let's hope Europe is fed up with Irish folk music by now, because once again Ireland is competing with an Irish pub song (a tradition, funnily enough, started by Norway, of all countries). Get with it. And last year's hard rock entry from Finland has spurred quite a few other rocking entries this year.

However, the scope is much wider than ever before, and this is a very good sign and I have high hopes for the future...even though it may be run as an exclusively Eastern European competition after a while.

Regarding Irish Eurovision - Johnny Logan has actually stooped low enough to star in a McDonalds advert over here. Sad to see such a great talent wast... wait... did I say great talent? Hmm, maybe making an advert like that is right up his alley after all.

I finally got to see the Norwegian entry (on YouTube, no less) and have thus decided that I will no longer support Norway in this competition ever again. Here's hoping next years entry will be made by Dimmu Borgir ;)

Dimmu Borgir would be such fun! That would teach the Finnish "hard rockers"! ;)
