Hmm, the Belarussian song was interesting - the boy dressed as Donny out of NKOTB LOL, four ballerina girls prancing around, and a jangly headed poppet of a synthesiser player - and unlike the adult Eurovision, these kids are singing mostly in their native language. Yep, Lillehammer, you sure lucked into hosting this one, lol right up there with the Winter Olympics.
But even though it's so bad it's cheesy, Eurovision is one of those things that all of Europe has that stops them from fighting wars. One of those what if moments I am thinking - imagine if there weren't any EU? Or NATO? Or UN? Imagine if the last sixty years in international geopolitics had gone off in another direction. There is enough Brussels bashing in Europe and the States, but really, it is a good project - and yes, I think they should admit anyone who wants to come in, Turkey and Ukraine you have my vote LOL.
Or imagine if there wasn't any UN - would all the non profit organisations such as Oxfam or Amnesty or the Red Cross jump in on the humanitarian side, and would the US or Soviet Union have become the world's policeman without UN peacekeeping forces around?
But if only they could get some quality on Eurovision lol, it would all seem a lot more worthwhile - this Spanish entry aarghhhhhhhh (I'd Rather Be Dead Than Plain is the English title lol).
