No, it's not. German was terrible.
![]() The only ones that were even worth listening were numbers 5, 6 and 14. Others were simply of poor taste or a show-off of how long they can shout at the top of their lungs. ![]() ![]() AND I didn't really watch it, but Mom did, so we sort of had no choice but to listen. ![]() ![]() Hector, that was an awesomcredible poem. *salutes and bows* ![]()

Germany came a bit out of nowhere, I think. I heard a snatch of it after one of the semi-finals and thought, "hey, that's kind of special", but I thought it didn't sound quite as good in a live-version. But I think you will be able to judge if for yourself when it starts being promoted on the radio, Mari.
![]() Naaah, it's a great opportunity to test one's knowledge of neighbouring countries, politics and migrations. We had great fun trying to guess which neighbours a country would award 8,10 and 12 points to. Often got it right too. ![]() But even if Eurosong was entirely aweful I'd watch just for the two Belgians who provide comments and translations during the contest. They were so very good at one-liners, we had some great laughs.

Yes, yes, I know eurosong-bashing is 'in' these days, or rather these years. It's certainly has a number of weak points. But you yourself said earlier that a few songs were still worth listening to, so my use of 'if' is perfectly justified.
![]() Besides, the influence of Eurosong on a good number of artists is not to be dismissed easily. There are not much other events that allow singers to become internationally known in just one night.

Earn, I thought our entry was sad. Downright sad. Especially with the organ and the shalali shalala. We might have well used the 'Smurfenlied'.
Still, Sieneke tried her best and has a nice voice.

Yeah, I had heard there was a lot of controversy around the choice of the song in the Netherlands. It was a brave choice all things considered, not many countries dare to sing in their native language for the entire song these days. And the organ and melody were very typically Dutch, it just was a bit 50 years too late to enter the contest. Sieneke had a nice voice, though, and she certainly gave it her best.

![]() Speaking of blood, shots, etc., (had to connect it somehow) am I crazy or does anyone else hate the smell and feel of hospitals? Do they not look like prisons? And most of the nurses seem to be just waiting for you to die so they can put someone else in your bed....

Glad to know that Hector is really Darth Hector and Jonathon is Jonathon Skywalker. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Tax report with 15 minutes to spare again.
![]() 40 minutes before the deadline I came across something I didn't know how to fill in (electronically) and tried a few times before I got on the right track. ![]() 20 minutes before the deadline I thought everything was fine and pressed the button to check the form and submit it - then I got an error message "there is a description missing in post number so and so" - then my first attempt at a description was refused and the error message still there ... ![]() But the second one was accepted, and then the whole report. Ahhhhhhh .... ![]()
