ESC 2007

[jessybxx]

I just drained my writing powers a great deal by creating that long and angry rant on my German blog (apporopiately titled "Eurpoes' worst losers"), so just have a few notes:

- Amazing show, the intro (feat. Lordi, wolves, monsters and TONS of fire) was the coolest thing ever. I love Finland. Kiitos for that ^_~

- The level of music quality was rather high and there were surprisingly little acts relying on ass, boobs and naked skin O_o

- Serbia was awesome and fully deserved their victory. I voted for them, Twice. Such a fantatic voice and OMFG what a passionate song.

- I adored the little movies that were shown in between the performances. I think this is the first time some of them made me laugh. Lovely job <3

- Ukraine was funny even though they need to practise how to count in German XD

- Sorry, my precious friends from the UK, but there's bad songs and there's awful songs. Your entry was off the scale ;_;

- We don't need a change of rules. Serbia didn't win cuz the other Eastern Europen countries voted for them. They won cuz everyone voted for them. If you take the non-Western countries out of the equation, rank 1 and 2 stay the same.

- I despise this country and its media for bashing the contest, its rules and the winner like this. Just because we did badly. Shame on you.

Ei kestä kiittää.(You're welcome) ;) Prolly the first and the last time Finland is gonna host ESC(at least in a while). :D Damn I really wanted to be in Helsinki last week.

Yeah, I was a bit afraid that they'd show some really stupid things but those were really funny. Swampfootball and everything. xD Couldn't though help thinking what foreigners think of those. "Finns are some crazy&weird ppl!" :P

Ukraine was funny even though they need to practise how to count in German XDWell at least they knew that two comes after one, that's a start, ne? xD

Yeah, but the Balkan countries always vote eachother, but also Scandinavian countries vote eachother and the Baltic ones too and Belarus and Ukraine always give 12 points to Russia etc. The "vote your neighbour" is just more obvious in there than in Scandinavia for example, cuz there are so many little "neverheard" countries in Balkan I guess and of course it's easy to complain now cuz the Western European countries didn't do well and the Eastern European did. But I'm really happy that this year the winner won cuz the song was good and ppl liked it, not cuz of shaking ass and wearing a way too short skirt.

I don't remember where I read it, but I have to agree with it: "If Germany, UK, France and Spain didn't automatically get into the final, they wouldn't have been there in years." Amazingly this year(prolly cos we hosted ESC and the media was more analyzing how the organization worked&what journalist from other countries thought etc than Hanna Pakarinen's success) we didn't have these "What went wrong cuz we didn't win?!?!" things on the media. Sweden was complaining about everything the whole week and when they didn't have much success it was the YLE's(The Finnish broadcasting company) fault, technical problems fault and Europe "wasn't ready for The Ark" etc.
