Eurovision

I've just watched the first of the semi-finals for the Eurovision song contest. There was a time when I found the whole contest most puzzling. How could cultured people groups, who have given us so much high art, revel in kitsch and glitz? Then I realised that we all need a bit of relief from time to time. Can't have Herbert von Karajan without Benny and Bjorn.

So, who will I vote for on the SBS website? (At least, who will I vote for once the server recovers from too many people trying to access it?) I contemplated voting for the Netherlands because they put forward someone who can actually sing, but ultimately the singing turkey from Ireland has won my heart.

If you don't believe me, check here : )
