I found out that today it’s Eurovision Songfestival day (all related items at xsamplex). Actually, was: the winner is a Serbian ballad singer, who apparently beat a Ukranian drag queen. The final results can be viewed here.
The BBC has some pictures (here) and the one with the British band Scooch had me laughing. I don’t know why: I guess the Brits1 ended up at the bottom 5 at the list but for some kind of reason I think their act might be a great fit for the KLM’s new Frequent Flyer commercials. “Did the right song win?”, the BBC is asking their readers:
We do not deserve points for entering a song that sounds like it was written by BA (editor: British Airways).
The last time I flew BA, I’m pretty sure the flight attendants didn’t have light-blue suits. You’ve got your facts wrong, bud.
What? No teenage drag queens with life sized troll outfits singing about peace, harmony, milk and honey?
Where’s Johnny Logan when we need him?

I don’t think I want to hear him in 24-bits sound…
