Eurovision song contest

Once up on a time there was only one program and I found it interesting. This show lost my attention when SVT decided that it was a show that was going to travel to several cities. That was a few years ago and they are still doing that. This year it has apparently been a duel between songs and from each program 2 songs have gone directly and 2 to a “second chance”. I haven’t seen one of them but I decided to watch the final yesterday as it would probably be a subject discussed at work tomorrow.

I do admit the quality and variation of songs were surprisingly good and I did enjoy it. (ouch that hurt to admit) The two top songs were also my favourite which is also a surprise. They were both different towards the others songs. So who won?

A very famous opera singer called Marlena Ernman! Her song was a combination of opera and pop. The bad news today is that she already has an appointment that day! What? Don’t they check things like this before competing?

Nr 2 said in the paper today that she was happy that she didn’t win since her record company is so small that if they had won they would have gone broke. Why bother to take part in the competition? I know, the publicity for the song and company.

  1. Isn't that crazy? Here in Britain, I missed the programmes this year, but I gather they have turned to the famous composer Andrew Lloyd Webber to try and pick a winner. Here in the UK we are used to doing well in the contest, but in recent years I gather there has been a lot of political and tactical voting and we have suffered as a result.
