The gayest man in the universe representing Russia won Eurovision 2008 yesterday.
Dima "the slavic Enrique" Bilan is just about as metrosexual as you could imagine, even for Eurovision standards. His vocal is decent, but his song is wholey uninteresting. Eurovision really is a total kitschfest and 2006 Alice Cooper rehash was just a glitch in the system apparently. Regardless in the past it was at least sort of original in it's kitsch nature, while the beginning of this year's winner reminds me starkly of Wild World by Mr. Big. Nevertheless I have a sneaking suspicion Dima would be extremely popular in prison with those white pants.
My favourites were:
Bosnia - Sounds like nothing else. You'd like it much more if you understood the lyrics.
Armenia - Marry me you womanly shaped woman. Yeah I know she's trying to be the eastern Shakira but I can't hold that against her. Especially since she's - imo - hotter than the original. Fox says Quele sounds similar to the word for "a dog" in Hebrew. "Come dog, move dog... dog, dog."... kinky, or what?! Especially with three guys in black dancing around her (probably trained house-slaves).
Finland - an honourable mention for trying to do something different. Melodic metal & Eurovision though? That's just about as mismatched as me dating Heidi Klum. Everybody knows I hate tall German women.
People who should be put to death:
Latvia - Captain Jack Sparrow should do them in with a rusty machete.
Spain - The biggest shame brought upon the country since the Inquisition in the 15th century.
Estonia - Sounded like a comedy act gone bad. Poor souls. I hope they get a nice home.
Irland - Irlande douse points. Dustin the Turkey is apparently a huge star in Ireland. Had five #1 hits. Unfortunately the rest of Europe didn't really get the joke nor his abhorrent off-key singing. The girl singing the backup vocal sounded interesting, though. Sort of like the late Melanie Thornton (La Bouche).
EDIT:
I'm an idiot. Cat Stevens was the first person to release Wild World.
