I LOVE YOU, EUROVISION! Spoilers and videos below the cut.
My three favorites:
Israel -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9LfYMyLORM Turkey -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylKKDSHZYRU (the music video is good, but I chose this version because of the dancing robots *g*)
Romania -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AYMXnfS_uc&feature=channel The winner, which ranks in my top 5:
Germany -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM2dfoEr4Dw And, of course, the amusing/bemusing/WTF-ing:
Greece -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F-v8OPJ7lU I love it when there is a singer and dancers performing together and the singer can't dance at all. This is the Greek equivalent of that O-zone song that wormed its way into my brain a few years ago. Fun!
Moldova -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1FWLCnTtQQ Where's the love? Violin and saxophone love! Random gong appearance love! One dancer that can dance, and one that can't love! Xanadu-type outfits love. Blue eyeshadow lo-- okay, I draw the line at that one. *g*
Spain -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uWCTeIv-Tc The clown dancer would have been enough to cause nightmares for me tonight, but the rather cheerful idiot that invaded the stage during the performance brought a smile to my face.
Serbia -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHdOLhDoBVs&feature=related My WTF winner. If they actually do make that live-action Bleach film, I've just found their perfect Ichimaru Gin.
Over at
ontd they have a post with videos of all finalists. Otherwise, YouTube is your Eurovision friend, along with the BBC.
