Eurovision Song Contest
It's Eurovision Song Contest time again, and this year it's Norway who's hosting it! Since we won last year with Alexander Rybak and his song Fairytale, Norway is hosting it at Telenor Arena which is coincidently the home field of my favorite football team. So if you are planning on watching the final on Saturday, look around the stadium and think "Huh, this is the place where Norway's most awesome football team usually play!"
I am what you'd call a closet fan of Eurovision. I mock it relentlessly, but really, I love it in all it's cheesiness. It's just a thing that I have to watch each year, bad costumes and awful English included. So on Saturday, I'm gonna make a bowl of popcorn and mix up some awesome drinks and me, my brother and his girlfriend are going to laugh, get drunk and have an awesome time. While also admiring NRK's great production. Cause we Norwegians are not competitive at all, but clearly, we do everything better than everyone else. /and people say we're obsessed with winning and being the best, *pissh*/
And this might just be my patriotism showing, but I watched the semifinals today and man... I think we might have a shot at doing well this year too. Our song is really good, our guy can actually sing, he's studying opera.(Link: My Heart is Yours) Not that we actually want to win, since dude, this hosting thing is rather expensive, and well- For the last three weeks Stabæk has had to play in Oslo because the Eurovison circus has been STEALING OUR STADIUM! We do not want that for next year, thank you very much!
If any of you Doctor Who fans out there wants to watch the Confidential's, give me a pm and I'll send you a link to the place I found. It's really great to see all that cool stuff that happens back stage.
