And again, here was the second place...

The fascinating Conchita Wurst tonite. Dress ordered extra from New Yawk... three hundred dollars, she said. The producers overdid the lighting. I've seen some deprecating comments elsewhere on YouTube, but generally, there wasn't all that much outrage.

Hokay... there's a winner... Eurrovision for Austria

Conchita Wurst came in second. So who is representing our fair land in Aserbajan? Track Shittaz... and yes, you read it correctly. Who will be sure that Austria lands down in one of the last places. And have to sit next year out. Of the ten contestants, there were some interesting, 'listenable' tracks that sort of grew on me, and diverse in musical style. But this?

Oh yeah, track shitters, all right. Why not skid marks? The text? Banal to irrelevant. They want everyone to shake their tushes around, because that's what they like (ooop ooop!) Idiotic, a novelty number, and, excuse the pun... assinine. We've had some winners and losers, but this time? Losers. Take a listen.

Eurovision Song Contest....

Is wacky season. There are ten songs in the running to represent Austria, and am posting the two I like from the radio 3 station on youtube... I think the following has a real chance... even if it's more than a bit disco, but whoever she is has a good voice... and it's a real mind fuck optically. Conchita Wurst. The other is so retro, but catchy, Crazy Swing, with a multi-culti group.





And oh yes, the third I really like because it makes me smile, and want to share it with Annti... she will know why. It's cute. And he looks so dorky '50's. And oh yes... these were clips of the auditions. Since then, professionals have been honing them into super performers, and what's on the radio is way more polished. But I like the freshness of the auditions, to tell the truth.

Gawwwd, another year and the dread Eurovsion song contest again? Shoot me now....

The hugest arbiter of bad taste. ABBA was the only thing good that came out of it and it took thirty years for people to get that. Malta for 2o11. I don't understand one word of it other than Wild Heartbeat, and the rest is like tapioca pudding, smooth with odious lumps in it. And WHY do the dancers have foil red face masks? Is there a hockey game going on nearby? Ok, must say I delight in the absurdities of the Eurovision song contest.... but believe me... you have had to have BEEN here....

I can't watch this...... Eurovision Turkey

You decide... they couldn't even put three pragrahphs together... OUCH.

Shudder....




You won't get through this one, guaranteed...

Remind me never to go to Albania

This entry is really very very strange, like the music, and always amazed when they can come out with slang english, I mean, who woulda thunk it? The visuals were disturbing. I thought Dracula was in Rumania... Just sayin'... Enjoy.

Uh-oh.... Gloria Gaynor got reincarnated....

Listen, I know that Iceland has an erupting volcano right now, and all... but if I wanna get up and dance to a disco beat... Preciousses, THAT is so gay.... But I liked it.

oh.... my... gawd... The UK entry isn't a train wreck...

It is a disaster of enormous proportions. If my late friend John were still alive, well, am pretty certain he would be rolling on the floor laughing, holding his sides, and yelling 'Oh please stop it, it hurts!' What totally surprises me, by the way, is how this clusterfuck of a contest got so bad, and that there are some people in America who absolutely love it. Seemingly, I've lost a couple of beads in the ancient abacus I have in my brain.

Train wreck!

Watch what sixty years of US occupation did to Germany. It is only on YouTube. The girl just can't sing.

If this doesn't send you screaming in terror into a corner, sucking your thumb and holding on to your blankey, there is just no hope for you whatsoever. Now where did I put the eye and brain bleach. If you can stand watching this to the end, I will send you a movie ticket to watch something wholesome.

Link Here.

oooo... The Eurovision Song Contest!

Is like watching a slow-motion train wreck, and sort of fascinates people. The best group that ever came out of that was ABBA, and that is a looonnnng time ago. Even then they didn't get instant recognition. Celine Dion got her start there, singing for Switzerland, but we don't want to go there.

Here is the Rumanian entry. It's ok... as far as it goes... (look, this is my way of not venting, ok?)

This makes me want to go to Greece....

The dreaded Eurovision song contest is coming up. Eye candy... Opa!
