Anybody watched it? Opinions? No! I didnt watch it and haven't since I was about ten years old..... on the other hand I have lots of opinions about it.. ...but firstly I have a question.....what is the actual point of it??? Im trying to think of a comparison...... good music, as we all know can be beautiful, evocative, inspiring and most definately magical....whatever its genre.....but the stuff on there is absolutely bottom of the pile, manufactured bells and whistles...it makes me wanna puke. glitz and glamour, dreadful melodies, appaling dance routines, sickening chorus hooks....Outrageous front men/women....and are any of them actually any good???? I mean Really??? if this is actually a contest about the best SONG then its surely a contest about the best 'worst' song and seeing as music is one of the greatest gifts, the most magical of wonders that humans have had bestowed upon them then how dare these cretins **** with it like this. It's almost like (from a male perspective, and at the risk of objectifiying women..i mean to complement them if anything) having a beauty contest (which i think stink anywyay)....but instead of the most beautiful women (and even if that beauty is slim and tall or curvy or whatever) they have the most ugly deformed women infact the most hastily manufactured women, perhaps with botox gone wrong, perhaps with missing arms and extra eyes, one with no hair, one thats just a head, one that can only scream but cant talk, perhaps one is just a man dressed as a women.... and then we all watch and the winner is the one that is the least offensive to the eyes and ears. perhaps this women analogy is a bad one but my point being... why take something so that can be so wonderful and beautiful and screw it over??? and the excuse "it's just a bit of fun" doesn't wash with me. I truly believe that music presented in this way is the most disgusting form of propganda and really affects our collective consciousness and attitude towards music as a whole, but what can we do eh? I'd probably hate this too but......if ya wanna have a song contest or music contest...why not do it properly??? Have actual musicians (perhaps even pros) performing...why did paco never represent spain?? or miles davis never play for america?( but thats prob another political debate right there) anyway in conclusion **** the eurovision song contest!!!!
