I thought I’d have lots to say, but I don’t. I’d like to think I watch this tongue-in-cheek, but I’m afraid I just think it’s wonderful. The lyrics are weird, but the costumes are fabulous. No one can sing, but they can all dance. Mostly.
And holy moley there are a lot of people there. Eurovision Helsinki.
Crap, the website is busted so I can’t provide excellent links. But you can see bits and pieces on the BBC Eurovision site.
I can’t look away. Eurovision does this to me every year. It’s like Rage. One more song… just one… more…
I love the costumes.
I love the dancing.
I love the (freaking amazing) light and sound action on the stage.
I think I’m voting for Switzerland’s Vampires are alive because they had mannequins on the stage with the five (or was it six?) singing/dancing group members. And because they sang a song as vampires. And of course, YouTube saves our lives with some truly fabulous clippage. Go here to see some amazing clips – filmed on mobile phones, Simms versions…
