Eurovision

[dimmerwit]

Because of the great dimmerwit water crisis I forgot this was even on this week.

I listened to our UK entry and it was a bit crap. Nul points again I fear.

I don't know if I can stomach the whole show any more. There are a few decent songs and occasionally a genuinely good one, but a large portion is a bit middling.

(I can't class this as "entertainment" - feel free to disagree)

To @Nae'blis 's delight the favourites this year are Sweden.



Hot on their heels is Austria.

Sweds is good

Obligatory

I never watch it, but all I can think about Eurovision is how one of my favorite bands got shafted and couldn't perform in the 2020 contest because of COVID.



EDIT: They probably wouldn't get another chance considering they left Russia after Putin invaded Ukraine, and moved to the US.

Fuck yeah, sauna pop ftw!

I'll probably watch it, mostly for the sake of the youngest kid in the household (my ex and her husband's kid), he's all in for KAJ!

Also, Tommy J (former guitarist in Sabaton) made a pretty good metal cover of Bara Bada Bastu:

My wife loves it, and that means my daughter now loves it. We watch it every year. It's not my favourite thing but I get into it and have fun as time to spend with the family.

So nice of Australia to sing something about milkshakes.
