So....Eurovision anyone?

So....Eurovision anyone?
Really, really, I am the one that's going to post on this?

Oh well - OK, why not.

Did anyone else see it? What did we think?

I thought some of the songs were quite good actually. I really like the Country and Western song from the Netherlands. I liked the visuals for the Polish song (ahem). Sad that the Russian girls got booed like that - I know we don't approve of what Russia is doing but its hardly those 2 girls at fault.

And then there's the winner.......





We spent a lot of time at home trying to pigeon hole her into a category and came up blank. We settled on "she" but that's about as far as we got. My daughter was going for bearded lady. I like the thought of that one but apparently she, er, wasn't always a she. Not transgender and I think the beard rules out transvestite too - but I am not sure. Our house decided there was a new category "Conchita" which may have other members but I have never seen them.

Obviously it doesn't matter in reality - it just adds to the list of things I cannot quite fathom about humanity.

Wasn't a bad song either - would make a great James Bond theme.

Out of the handful Europeans here...someone has to reply.

There were better songs that could have taken the prize. There were no great songs, but heck, it's Eurovision.
The bearded guy dressed as a lady with crap trans hormonal voice just sounded weird.
But Eurovision it's all about the politics and not exactly about the songs, do I wasn't surprised that the "artistic" gender won.

I'm glad she won. That song should have been in a bond movie. And I mean that in a fucking good way. Well deserved the win. The Netherland's song sent me to sleep. I was amazed it came 2nd.

And FYI it's a transvestite. With a beard. Get over it. It's a stage persona. The whole point of it is to show bigots the finger.

Also, the name Conchita Wurst = Pussy Sausage... and people take it seriously...

As always in Eurovision, its nothing to do with the song. Its politics and who had the best gimmick. Evidently a bearded woman trumps hamster wheels, trapeze artists and twins on a see-saw.

Haven't watched it for at least 25 years, don't give a damn who wins

Screw Eurovision. Everyone votes for their neighbors, so we have our own Turkvision where Turkic countries can participate and where the music actually matters because we're not voting on the basis of kinship or geographical location.

The best part of Eurovision for me is Terry Wogan's "I don't give a shit" commentary; and I don't know if he even does it anymore.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Nope it's Graham Norton who does it now. I prefer him.

Nope, you're both wrong. The best part of Eurovision was Poland!
