solitary_summerI wonder if that's already old age catching up with me, or if the thing has improved over the last years, but - dare I say it - I'm actually having fun watching the Eurovision song contest. The Swedish Marilyn Manson light! pop! baby clone was cute, and the French were fun, too. ETA: and the Serbian lesbians! yay!
Further ETA: Love the Romanians, too. And the Bulgarians; unusual but also strangely fascinating. (And while I'm at it - the Israelis should have also made it into the finale.)

I think the problem with both Austria and Germany, and the cause of yearly drama, lamentations and self-examinations is that we're taking the whole thing too seriously while at the same time not daring to take it seriously enough. We want to produce Hochkultur and can't unselfconsciously embrace the pop & kitsch & camp, or just have fun and laugh at ourselves a bit.
