Ok, first of all, this is my second night of posting while drunk so don't expect this to make sense. Anyway, I was out tonight at a Eurovision party with 4 lovely lady friends, and we all agreed that it was a complete travesty.
Firstly, how could such a shit singer win? Fair enough, she's a fat Serbian lesbian and good luck to her, but her song was absolutely awful. See here: YouTube - Eurovision 2007 Serbia Marija Serifovic - Molitva
Then, I do firmly believe that the UK entry was the best that we've had for years. See here: YouTube - Scooch Flying The Flag UK 2007 Eurovision MYMU
Scooch perfectly represent the world of catchy camp pop - with subtly obscene comments from their air stewards that had me pissing myself when I first heard them. I was disgusted that we only got votes from Ireland, Malta and Cyprus - with all due respect, all ex-colonies.
It seems that these days, everyone just votes for their neighbours. So all the old Yugoslav countries vote for each other. And the 11 countries which used to be part of Russia all vote for each other too. It's just not fucking fair! Why can't people vote based purely on music and image alone? The politics shouldn't matter at all. The UK were one of the few countries whose votes seemed to be based entirely on musical taste. The rest of them are probably so used to a Communist regime that they automatically vote Russia whenever possible. I'm not anti-Russian but how else can you explain it!!!!!
For what it's worth, I am a Europhile, I love the fact that this song contest showcases so many hot people from all over Europe, it's a great advert for the whole continent. But PLEASE can we have some sanity over the voting, because it's just a big scam at the moment.
