The Eurovision Thread
Mikaela:
I have Turkey's 2009 entry on my brain. I go around humming Dum-Teck-Teck all the time.
It's simple and catchy in a "Britney Spears gets with the bellydancing routine" kind of way. :laugh:

David In Indy:
Is it okay for an American to comment in this thread? :-\
I was just going to say I wish we could watch Eurovision over here. I can't watch these videos (dial-up connection :P ) but I've heard lots of good things about it. I can see the first frame inside each of these videos and it looks a bit like our American Idol over here, only perhaps much bigger than AI.
Anyway, have fun everyone! :D

Its very catchy and it STILL reminds me of my number one - the Greek winner in 2005.

Of course you can David!
I think you'd love the eurovision..I tried to see if I could find out if it would be shown in the USA, but it seems no you can't... :-\

Mikaela:
I think you'd love Eurovision too.
It's launched some few international stars through the years. Abba is the best-known, of course.
But another is Celine Dion, who won in 1988 for Switzerland, singing "Ne partez pas sans moi". Check out her distinctly '80s hairdo and clothes.... (The era of the shoulder pads!)
