So in a fit of boredom, I decided to look at all the finalists for this year's contestants for the Eurovision Song Contest.

First of all...it's a big ball of suck. I mean it. What's going on? It's like because something credible actually challenge the idea of pop music and instead of embracing the effort, it's ass is plugged up with bubble gum and a cork.

Sure, I freakin hate DJ Bobo, but looking at most the people who made the finals, at least he made a freaking effort.

Out of....24 competitors, only four are actually trying something different. That is fucking sad.

Elitsa and Stoyan have got the right idea. While the lyrics are non sequetur, it fits the music because it's part of the music.

Marija Serifovic doesn't fit the "popstar" mold but delivers a very powerful song

Roger Cicero. Man. If he puts out an english album, I'd buy it. He's got that vocal jazz down pat.

Sopho might actually be the heir apparent of Kate Bush. We shall see.

Good luck to all four.

As to the rest.....

If I hear one more love song or song's of fake rebellion or "shakin that ass", I'll make sure your country gets on the short list of preemtive attack.

Belarus has an Owen Wilson fetish for some reason. What makes it worse is that he's a douche full of himself.

Romania! It's nice to see you have a boyband that knows how to say "I love you" in many languages. Can they say "fuck off" in many languages as well?

Armenia! You selection can cure insomnia. The side effect on the other hand is sleeping sickness.

Ukraine needs a crash course on what qualifies as a drag queen and what qualifies as a transvestite.

Greece! Menudo called! They need a replacement for Ricky Martin on their reunion tour.

Sweden! David Bowie called! He says that gimmick only works while on drugs!

Lithuania! Your selection is 4Fun. They're 4department stores. There4 they suck.

Fuck you Ireland and fuck your tin whistle!

Russia is so pretentious, even Paris, the open gashed feels elitist.

And finally England. No, No! I see you hiding behind Ukraine. C'mon. Front and center.

Scooch.

You picked Scooch.

Scooch.

You went from Blur......to Scooch.

I find this amazing.

Are you, are you feeling alright? You guys need a better health program?

I mean...what's going on?

Are we practicing some sort of psychotropic experiments on you?

Druging your macky D's?

Cause from '97 to '07...you-you guys went from Blur to-to mutter fackin Scooch. I just find it mind blowing. Simply mind blowing.

Scooch.

*shakes head*

Well yes. It's the Eurovision song contest. The whole point is the lowest-common-denominator.

(Except in 1974.)

Terry Wogan has, impressively, sunk to new lows. For those of you fortunate enough to watch the UK broadcast, you will have enjoyed the constantly paranoid and racist commentary. It's Crazy Uncle Terryvision!

Britain.

But whatever you want to call yourself...Scooch? We're the United Kingdom!

And we don't take the contest seriously at all so why should we send a serious band?
Its treated as a massive JOKE in the UK.
We could send Madonna or Beyoncé (EXAMPLES OF WORLDWIDE POPULAR ACTS) and we'd still end up in the bottom 5 because Europe hates us politically.
All Western countries (UK, France, Germany, Spain, Holland etc) do rubbish because since the Eastern Europeans were allowed in this competition, they stick together.
Its not a SONG contest anymore but a back scratching game.
I'd like to see Serbia host it next year if the UK and all its funding that we do for the competition, pulled out.

I should probably feel offended, especially since I actually like The Arc at least half the time. But I'm not. :o
