over the top
style over substance - sham of music contest
flashing lights and suspect dancing
featuring the worst and instantly forgettable songs
which must feature at least 17 key changes
with the worst lyrics you'll luckily never hear again
by the craziest singers you'll luckily never see again
using 90% of a countries GDP on outfits
using 90% of the worlds sequins and glitter supplies
on crazy sets
with lightshows that would normally crash any countries national grid
featuring countries from all over the world and not just from Europe
fronted by local personalities who don't have personalities
featuring songs which are voted for by the viewers who have no musical taste
so it isn't really about the best songs because real singers and groups never enter
more about which country aligns with which other country
or which country hates which other country
or which country never votes for which other country
and there's always one particularly catchy song which you can't get out of your head - but remember
flu is catchy too
and it all goes on for far too long
and the voting at the end is like having root canal surgery with out an anesthetic
which the outcome is a curse because the winning country must host the following year's show
which is OK for us
...because the UK never win anymore!
