Eurovision 2018

I think most Eurovision songs lie between these two entires:

Songs that had no real chance to start with but were sent to show representation but no real desire to win (else you are footed with the bill to host the next one).

And songs that are made by people who actually made big hits (I mean, the guy who wrote the song (playing the piano) is the guy who created U96, one of the pioneers of techno/eurodance). But they threw in odd extras lika Von Teese, wierd backup dancers, a guy who really can't sing but likes to flash his chest, and it ends up looking just..wierd.

Once in a while you get a Lordi or a Loreen..but on the whole it's bad. And that is why it is so fun to watch. Like a huge trainwreck wrapped in feather boas and sparkley glitter. You can't stop watching. And drinking during it just makes it even more hilarous.

But, I guess there is no enough interest here for a betting pool. No worries.
