Eurovision Rant - Part III: Final

Sooooo, having already commented on the majority of the acts during semi-finals, it seems I have only five left to scrutinise.

UK - way better than most years, not so campy, very 70s funk, so not too bad. The song wasn't too interesting though, for a genre I like. And yes colour is good, but this was verging on Teletubbies sort of colour, it made my eyes bleed.

Germany - the German version of the Spice Girls, i suspect? Who taught these women to sing? Who actually THOUGHT they could sing? And some of the hair, goodness, it looked like Barbie had gotten too close to the cat.

France - hehehehe, loved the bearded men and women, such a bloody catchy song, unfortunately sung without much of a French accent though. Except for that part actually in French. Didn't really get the significance of the blow up globe. But I WANT his little cart!

Spanish - when I first saw the clip for this I thought it was going to be complete, utter garbage. When they came on stage, however, it was something that just made you smile. Now THERE's daggy on the good level. Unfortunately for them it was stuck in my head and I was probably saying something completely different in Spanish anyway, but that's another story.

Serbia - quite Lord of the Rings, which was the theme a few years ago. The singer was pretty good, but I just got the feeling they weren't trying bcos they we're already the winners.

Verdict? I was quite surprised with the result to be perfectly honest. Russia? That one just made me crack up. And I was astonished at how many points the Latvian pirates got, I mean is Europe going through a child-like state at present? I was a little upset that Denmark didn't get too far up the ladder, but that was sort of to be expected.
