Daze of our lives...

All sorts of nonsense happens in the course of the day... good, bad, indifferent... whatever. Thoughts spring to mind, shit happens, things work out, but often don't... usually I have no idea of what's going to happen beforehand and perhaps its better that way. Anyway, just a little of what's going on and a way of clearing my mind... Read on at your own risk.

OK, not all that much to tell... just a slightly insane, very tired but reasonably perceptive guy who's life is filled with "why's" and never knowing why...

The European Songfestival 2007

Whatever happened, a couple of entries last Saturday evening were totally worthy of notice... some for the clarity and purity of voice, others for the original presentation, others again for a new and refreshing approach to the whole Eurovision circus...

The clips are a reflection of my own taste (and in all honesty, Katie concurred with me on this whole listing), in the order I'd have liked them to have won ;-)


Bulgaria



Romania



Moldova



Slovenia


And finally, the eventual winners... a technically well-done effort but lacking the emotional qualities i look for in the music I love... perhaps my own deformity but one I've come to learn to trust...

Serbia


Such a pity when mediocrity becomes the norm. Keep well....

Bulgaria is definitely my favorite out of the bunch.

I have also watched all contestants. Bulgaria, Moldova, Finland were my favourites.
I found the Romanian quite boring, and written-to-win, though - I'm sorry with that!

Hmm, mediocrity and Eurovision... that does kind of some it up, doesn't it...?

I could only watch the semi finals, but Bulgaria started that evenoing and I was sure they were going to the finals. This one is enchanting, simple, yet strong! I loved it. I have to say, the eastern European countries send better stuff then the western part of Europe does these days :)
