Eurovision song contest

I know its been some time now, since the eurovision contest, but its never late to address this subject.
When I was young in the evening of the contest me and my family would all sit together to watch this tv show.
The format was a lot less spectacular that the current one, but the feeling was much nicer.
First, the eurovision anthem, that sounded to have played at least 3thousand times more than it should, then the contestants dressed in '70's disco-night' outfits would sing in their onw language and performing in front a small crowd. Finally the scores were given by the representative of the jury of each country, in English and french.
I think for some young people 'dix points' or 'thwelve points' were the first words in french and english they had first learned. (today its either 'username' or 'password').

But lets focus here.. do you really think Denmark should have own this years edition?

I think portugal should have own! Lets face it, the portuguese girl was maybe the only one that was smilling because she was enjoying, and not because her doctor had sold it to her.
She was showing something that somehow represented her country traditional music.

And what about neighbouring countries giving points to neighbouring countries? in this regard portugal is being injured because we only make boarder with 1 other country. I vote for some kind of biasing, like: the final score should be equal to the number of points divided by the number of borders with other contries.

Seriously, eurovision songs are becoming very much all alike and i would categorize them like this:
-The 'shakira'/'prety boy' type pop song with some dance beat, with english lyrics
-the other type (where i could count only 3-4 contestants)

result: bad quality/ 1 'popcorn' icecream in 'gelatomania' to kill the boredom.

going back to normal mode

sorry for the sensation of emptiness i created in my dedicated readers :P
