Eurovision Results

Eurovision was about a month, but since then I have repeatedly listened to my favorite songs from the competition and thought that I would share my favorites with you.

In no particular order:

Taken by A Stranger by Lena (Germany)

Rockefeller Street by Getter Jaani (Estonia)

(This is the acoustic version. The pop version was sung at competition, but I prefer this one.)

Popular by Eric Saade (Sweden)

So Lucky by ZDOB SI ZDUB (Moldova)

Two reasons: Gnomes. Fairy on a Unicycle. Enough said.

So, those were my favorite. Of course, none of these won. Azerbaijan (this is even a country?) won with the love ballad Running Scared. I rather thought it was a dull performance and boring song.

From what I have gained is that basically countries vote for their neighbors so it's not really a talent competition. Sad, I was, sad.

 Also via Eurovision I also learned about that thing call Jedward. I don't know how I feel about that. You have to see them to understand. And maybe not even then.

Lipstick by Jedward (Ireland)

Have fun!

EDIT: I wrote this months ago. I don't know how it never got posted.

Eurovision

As an American I wasn't really sure what Eurovision was, but on Saturday afternoon the internet (namely Maureen Johnson on Twitter) was screaming about it so I decided to watch it.

The only conclusion that I can draw from this is that it was the most awesome thing I have ever experienced. I understand Europe a little bit more now.

Eurovision = awesome.


That is all.

P.S. My vote would have gone to Moldova. Because of their hates. And the fairy on the unicycle. Nothing can match that.
P.P.S. Somebody explain to me what "Jedward" is. My mind wasn't able to comprehend them.
