Last weekend was the Eurovision Song Contest. An annual event 52 years running. Every year is full of anticipation and the newspaper run front page news about the “stars” that are up to compete. Every year is full of surprises and strange entries from various countries.

Last year I phoned in to place my vote on Russia. We can´t vote for our own country. Russia placed second but the song was on the radio all summer. This year I really enjoyed Ukraine. Yes… I did vote and guess what… Ukraine placed second. I thought it was such a funny performance. The guy is a well known comedian in Ukraine.

The winner this year was a slow song from Serbia. Sweden placed somewhere towards the last place. A big uproar followed in the papers. Foul! The countries only vote for their neighbours. That is unfair! People get so upset because Eastern European countries did much better than Western European countires. Hey people! We were really bad! You have to have catchy songs, fun performance - true entertainment! I voted for Moldavia and Ukraine.

Oh, and then there was the angry people that thought Ukraine was worthless mainly because of the silver aluminum foiled look. Check out Sweden… that would be an aluminum silver look too!
