Not my sort of music but I can imagine the appeal to some young people. As for the video clip.....why? Thanks for the one minute release. Boredom had already set in.
Eurovision Song Contest is off limits here since the year it was won by Austrian drag queen Conchita Wurst. Since then we only like songs that score 0 points. The Make Make archived that distinction the year after Wurst (which means Sausage).
When Japan was handed the Olympic flame last week they were adamant the games would continue. A minister who suggested otherwise had to publicly apologise. That was a week ago. I should think their attitude may have changed by now
Well Canada pulled out of the Olympics yesterday and apparently other countries are now starting to do the same - very sad but it really does need to be postponed.
I was able watch last year's Eurovision as one of our International Channels carried it each night on delay - it has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen - but it was a bit like watching a rain wreck - I couldn't stop!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
And next it will be the Olympic Games, off.
ReplyDeleteBound to be; I don't know what's keeping them from declaring as much.
DeleteCanada has already withdrawn.
DeleteThe UK should do so too.

ReplyDeleteI found the whole thing very ODD. No wonder the UK comes last every year!

ReplyDeleteAnd Kase is cheese. This must be the Wurst Kase scenario.
DeleteThe ESC used to be fun; now it's become a mix of money and politics.
DeleteWurst Kase scenario. Good joke Adrian:-)

I should hope so, it would have been one of the world's major GATHERINGS.
DeletePerhaps this will be the end of the ESC. Or am I just being too optimistic?
ReplyDeleteDon't give us too much hope Graham!
DeleteAm I the only person who has never ever watched the Eurovision Song Contest?
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching when Katie Boyle left.
DeleteWogan was funny, but only because he treated the whole thing as a joke.
DeleteI am truly devastated.
ReplyDeleteI just knew you would be.
DeleteThis is so funny, thank you for giving me a reason to chuckle.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to be of service.
DeleteI wonder how long it took to make that video. Poor half naked man.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the point of him being in there. I hope they paid him.

It has become one huge outrageous panto, with everything way over the top. Time in ended for good!

ReplyDeleteP.S. I was kidding.
