I guess this was France's entry for the Eurovision song contest this year. Fun fact: I don't care about the Eurovision song contest. I guess it's a cool idea, just kinda corny. I imagine it being to Europe what American Idol is to the States. I'm sure I'm way off considering how seriously a lot of...
I first saw the lead singer's impeccably groomed eyebrows in the Eurovision semi-final and it was rock-star crush at first sight. As all the lyrics are in Turkish, I can ignore the fact that they are repetitive and dull (even after allowing for poor translation) and sing along, hardening my r's most...
I'm still in a bit of a "Belgrade hangover" and dragging myself through EURO 2008 now (which has gone horribly wrong as of the result tonight for my Deutschland loving self) so for now I'm going to just officially rank my favourite 10 entries since the end of the competition, it's interesting to...
Past my surgery paper today and left one more to go on next Monday - Paediatrics. So many questions to cover but so little time to prepare :( Anyway, I will be leaving Ukraine next Wednesday...Can't wait.... Eurovision Singing contest 2008 was held last last week in Belgrade. And this year Ukraine...
Today I feel like fucking crying, so I watched this clip to cheer me up. Watch the girl in pink. People are saying she was drunk. Was she fuck. She was off her face on something.
So... it's all over for another year (and no, I don't count the Junior Eurovision Song Contest or the Eurovision Dance Contest... yes, they exist!). How did it all shake down on the night? Let's cut to the chase - I was supremely disappointed by the result. There was no way Russia deserved to win...
Oh I know it's not right, being a music blog and all, but this is one of the funniest things I've seen all year. Thanks to daljian in the Eurovision post comments we now know who the funny drunk man was. Björn Gustafsson is unsurprisingly even funnier though, as this amazing standup performance on...
Well, today lorry drives, truckers and hauliers protested in London and Cardiff to try and ensure a tax rebate to keep diesel costs down. I am sympathetic towards them, but i don't feel that threatening to blockade refineries will help anyone. I'm also sympathetic to the government for trying to...
So last night was the annual Eurovision extravaganza. This year we had a strong turn out and none of the last minute illness cancellation for which this time of year is notorious. Kat went out in sympathy with Zac's tantrum, James dressed as Dustin the Turkey while cooking him up in Guiness pies due...
Pray tell, what manner of moron is a Boogaloo Stu???? Over what coke addled luncheon did the BBC producers think our enjoyment of Eurovision would be improved by the addition of this pantywaist poltroon? I am also going to punch in the face the next person who tells me the voting is 'so political' -...
I'm going off line here to discuss a certain European song contest. Music being my focus. I watched the Eurovision song contest last night. The only reason I watched it was to be entertained by the commentary of Terry Wogan. Those of you outside Europe may not know this competition, but within...
Ahhhh it was that time of the year again where countries in Europe compete to see who is the tackiest. Now I have a confession to make I for one used to LOVE this show as a kid. If you're Irish you will remember the very first time we saw Riverdance with Michael Flatleys ridiculous tapping feet...
Yes, the campest, most glitzy thing was back on TV last night.... EUROVISION!! Since all my neighbours are from outside Europe I'll just give a little rundown: Eurovision is when all the countries in Europe put forward and act (usually the campest thing ever) and get them to sing their little hearts...

I vote Bosnia and herzogenwhatchimacallit! I think its wacky and catchy.
Yup, that time of year again. Europe collectively moans, and the rest of you stare on in disbelief. So I missed the first half (oh, no, how could i...) and the Irish chicken never made it anyway. Still, here's a best of, and it's still going on so expect one or more new ones later... France...

Once again the Eurovision Song contest is among us. Yet again Clare and I are gearing ourselves up for the funny commentary that we have grown to love over the years - provided by good old Aunties favourite Sir Terry Wogan. Yes the songs are poor, the political voting of Eastern European countries a...
The day of the Eurovision Song Contest final is an agonising experience. There are things to be done. Food to be prepared (let's not go overboard - just enough - one doesn't want to be in the kitchen all the time although it's tempting during the Latvian act) and mindsets to be got in to. The...
How very nice I'm sat at my desk still grinning like a cheshire cat after another member of staff commented on how very impressive my laptop and monitor arrangement made me look impressive, when a friend and colleague pops up on messenger. "Oooh. Look at you. You're in Ariel." Her timing is perfect....
