We're only a few weeks away from the biggest event this country has seen in decades!
No, not the Coronation - the Eurovision Song Contest (being held in Liverpool)!!
For no particular reason other than I want to, here are just fifteen of my personal favourites from the world's largest, shinest and campest music festival (now in its 67th year)...
The Eurovision Song Contest final will be held on 13th May 2023.
I can't wait!
The countdown has begun...
After its planned mega-celebration of 65 years of the Eurovision Song Contest was unceremoniously cancelled last year thanks to the pandemic, it's scheduled to go ahead as normal [as "normal" as the world's biggest, campest, most OTT musical event could ever be!] this year, with the grand final this Saturday in Rotterdam.
Once again, we have had to put any plans for our usual house party on ice [we're not even doing a Zoom call, as the consensus is that it really doesn't work when our fifteen-strong gang want to chat and watch telly at the same time], but to make up for it, let's shake ourselves out of the usual start-of-the-week doldrums in the most appropriate fashion.
On this Tacky Music Monday, it's one of our favourite UK Song Contest entries ever...
I'm singing along (and doing all the actions) as we speak!
Have a good week, dear reader...
[Happy birthday, Baby Steve!]
"Eurovision is a cultural phenomenon we have admired from afar for years," cable TV channel Logo general manager Chris McCarthy said. "We are thrilled to bring the event to U.S. audiences and cheer alongside the rest of the world."For the uninitiated (and, unlike Australia, where fans have been going wild for Eurovision for years, there will be plenty in the States where it is never usually shown), CNN has provided a handy guide that includes this rather understated description:
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.Hilarious! Yet true.
