Serbia win Eurovision 2007!
Ever since I heard about (and once had the pain and pleasure of watching) Eurovision, a cheesy pan-European singing contest, I thought it would be amazing to have a Pan-African one. Eurovision epitomises dodgy music taste – imagine taking the worst of your girl or boy bands or finding the most excruciatingly cheesy SAfrican pop singer who dresses with delightfully deplorable bad taste – they’d be our winning entry… I can think of a few just off the cuff. Any others?
1. Patricia Lewis
2. Bianca Le Grange
3. Any old Popstars group
4. Amor
5. Dr Victor
6. Elle
7. Any wannabe Idols runner up
Anyway, despite it’s questionable talent the live broadcast has a huge following, with the European nations all desperately competing for the winners position.
Last night the 2007 final was held in Helsinski, featuring classic lyrics such as “Get a life, Get Alive” “They can’t stop the spring” and “Comme Ci Comme Ca”- one might have thought themselves listening to a live concert of a certain “Back Verandah” radio station.
Anyway, congrats to Serbia for winning Eurovison 007 – make sure to click through and listen to some real Eurovision talent here.
