The wonderful, kitschy quintessential madness that it everyone trying to lose the Eurovision song contest (apart from those countries whose earnest attempts show they don’t understand the concept. You don’t wanna win and host the bloody thing. What do you think Ireland has been doing all these years?) is on this weekend! 2006 rocked hard and 2007 had its moments. SBS is of course showing the semi finals over Friday and Saturday night with added Julia Zemiro. Come Sunday, it is the final with Terry Wogan’s cult comments. I love it and can’t wait. Betting is that an Eastern bloc country will win. Some suggest collusion but a better explanation is that they hate each other. Who would willingly want to host it?
