Eurovision

The stage is set, the lights are on, the idiots are ready. Thats right it's Eurovision time..... It seems everytime this contest comes around I cant help but imagine if Eurovision was taken really seriously, maybe we would see one of the greatest music spectacles ever. If Daft Punk or Serge Gainsbourg were to represent France, Radiohead or the Rolling Stones for Britain, The Hives or some metal band from Sweden, Pavarotti for Italy, U2 or My Bloody Valentine for Ireland, Belle and Sebastian or Mogwai for Scotland, Kraftwerk or Rammstein for Germany and for Iceland Sigur Ros or Bjork. What a truly great event that would be...... I think it can happen to, but then I think to myself, It would be good for a year then I think we would all miss the amazing performance of many a talented failed actor, model or performer from across Europe, it truly is a wonderous thing this, it serves only the finest in C-grade entertainment straight to your doorstep, year after year after year. Bad costumes, shit songs, and sleasy slightly pornographic dance routines, this is what makes Eurovision. So here is a Toast; To Eurovision, the only show that i have ever found that can make me laugh and give me an erection at the same time.
