Of all the things hit by this dratted coronavirus thingy, the loss of our beloved Eurovision Song Contest is one of the hardest blows. Our "gang" is going to try and make up for the absence of the usual madness that accompanies our traditional house-party via Zoom tomorrow evening - but without the dressing-up, the scorecards, the raucous cheering, the buffet-of-all-nations and the flags, and only a contest-free evening of programmes on the BBC to console us, it could never be quite the same...
Still, we're in the closing throes of another weird week of being house-bound, and the sun is shining, so let's start the party mood a bit early - in the company of another in a long line [see here and here] of Ukrainian wannabee-divas, Ms Ani Lorak and her safety gays - and Thank
Shady, alright.
Don't forget to practice your shimmies and your gyrations, dear reader. You, too, could be the next Gina G.

Eurovision hasn't hit our shores, but there is enough "reality tv" to make up for it! It's depressing here. xoxo
ReplyDeleteAs I always say: "Whose reality?" There is absolutely nothing to compare with Eurovision anywhere in the world. As CNN pithily tried to describe it for the benefit of Yank audiences the first time it was shown on cable over there: It's quite theatrical. Think the Oscars, Grammys, Tony Awards, "American Idol," "The X Factor" and "America's Got Talent" all rolled into one - and then triple that.
DeleteMany a true word spoken in jest... Jx
I'm so sorry for your loss, dearie, but now you can see what it's like to live in the US, a country consistently deprived of Eurovision madness.
ReplyDeleteApparently Netflix bought the rights to broadcast it last year; maybe they'll air some of the "replacement" show from the Eurovision Broadcasting Network..? You can but live in hope. Be sure to wear sequins just in case. Jx
