[QUOTE="Traktor, post: 142411, member: 10303"] Two years ago in the company of a very nice Belorusskaya, I sat down to watch the Eurovision. It was the first time I had since Lordi won it way back in 2006. I had a wager on Lordi and I won big. I had a good weekend in Killarney on the back of my earnings. Anyway, after a painful 2+ hours, I had come to the conclusion that every single song had sounded the exact same. The same timbre, beat, act, rythmn etc. It was trashy Europop flop. My boredom was temporarily relieved by the voting which had since long descended into a political farce. Of all my 35+ years, only two songs stand out for me. Johnny Logan's win for Ireland back in 1987 is a classic pop ballad that actually topped the charts in many European countries.
