was she the best singer? the best song? the best beard? does the jubilation have political overtones? if the latter - I am all for it! I remember seeing her in the pictures at the Life Ball, so now I know she is a singer!
I have to say I don't really like beard either on a man or on a woman...  , even though both my DS and Adam sport one...The Eurovision song contest voting was and is still very political  Well, it was when only the jurys voted - a little less now that the public can vote too. Even now close neighbours or allies get highest marks but I think it's only natural that the taste in music is a bit similar between neighbours. Austria's song is good. It even got some points from the east based on the music, as it should be. (Don't remember from where and don't know if they actually got to see the performance or was it sensored there.) In Copenhagen there were manifestations today for freedom. The audience cheered loudly for Austria (and Ukraine) and booed when Russia got points. (Well done young Russian twins who managed to keep smile on their face nevertheless, it's not their fault.) |

Well that was just an awesome show to watch....I had a bunch of stuff to do today and gave up and sat to watch the Eurovision show...every minute!! I love that each country has equal votes and cannot vote for its own singer....that is perfect. and Conchita was terrific...and humble...winner. Very exciting! Trust France lol....hehe.... Now I want to another lifetime so I can live a few years in at least half of the countries taking part in that contest....  Is there a video recap of the best performances for those of us who missed it? |
