Music: Eurovision

Greece won the Eurovision Song Contest. You can listen to all the entries by clicking "Watch The Acts". The Ukrainian entry reminds me of "Teen Spirit" for some reason - did they steal the chord progression? The Israeli singer looks like a nice girl (but Israel still isn't in Europe!). Ireland didn't make it past the semi-final (deservedly) - Bertie must go. Sweden's entry is a horrible "Fame"-style song. ABBA must be rolling over in their graves. Best lyrics from Switzerland's Vanilla Ninja: "Cool vibes – why don’t you kill me?" Moldova's band was like a cross between the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Pogues, with a granny who comes on at the end to bang a drum.
